The winning numbers for the draw are 19, 18, 29, 25, 1, 10, in the days section and 2 in the months section. While the days section numbers can be matched in any order, the months section number must be an exact match to win the Dh100-million jackpot. Seven winners took away a 'guaranteed' Dh100,000 with the lucky chance ID's: Since its launch last year, the UAE Lottery has already made 71 residents Dh100,000 richer.

While tickets for the lottery can be purchased through its website, the company will soon roll out an app, Bishop earlier announced. But that's not all – your ticket to a new life could soon come through a vending machine. The UAE Lottery is also planning to "soon" sell tickets at retail spaces like convenience stores and fuel stations, its director said, without specifying a timeline for the move. This could come in the form of a bin of scratch-off tickets at the cash register, terminals to buy Lucky Day tickets, or a ticket vending machine, he earlier told Khaleej Times.
