UAE Lottery: 7 residents bag Dh100,000 each in 13th lucky chance draw
The 13th draw of the Lucky Day, Lucky Chance draw at the UAE Lottery brought life-changing news to seven participants on Saturday, May 31, with each winning Dh100,000 in the weekly Lucky Chance raffle. The jackpot-winning numbers — days 3, 8, 18, 22, 25, and 31 followed by the month 7. Lucky Chance Draw Nunber 250531 announced the following winning ticket numbers: BH3282182 CH5863285 CH5844534 BJ3445984 CL6274201 BE2929558 DC7937029 Each of these ticket holders is now Dh100,000 richer, a reward that could help fulfill long-held dreams, cover family expenses, or support education and savings goals. The UAE's first and only regulated lottery was launched in December last year, offering a Dh100-million jackpot. Depending on how many numbers are matched, players can take home prizes ranging between Dh100 and Dh100 million. While the odds of winning the jackpot are one in over 8 million, "someone in the UAE will win the Dh100 million for sure," Bishop Woosley, director of Lottery Operations at The Game, which operates UAE Lottery, had earlier told Khaleej Times. Asked if the company was working to better the odds, Woosley had said they were looking at 'player preferences, what they play, how much they play and what games they like.' The lottery is for residents aged 18 and above in the UAE. Players are not allowed to participate in the games unless they are physically present in the country at the time of playing. As of now, the prizes are not subject to any taxes.

UAE Lottery jackpot numbers revealed; over 70 residents win Dh100,000 so far
The UAE Lottery announced its latest winners on Saturday, March 22, during its fortnightly draw. Seven lucky winners have won Dh100,000 each after being selected under the 'guaranteed prizes' category. Although the grand Dh100-million jackpot remains unclaimed, anticipation continues to grow as the prize remains up for grabs. 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. However, the grand prize is still waiting to be claimed. But "someone in the UAE will win the Dh100 million for sure," Bishop Woosley, director of Lottery Operations at The Game, which operates UAE Lottery, earlier told Khaleej Times. Currently, the odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in over 8 million. While nobody has won the jackpot yet, two participants have struck it big, each winning Dh1 million in the Lucky Day draw. As the country's only regulated lottery operation, the UAE Lottery offers participants the chance to win amounts ranging from Dh100 to Dh100 million, with scratch cards also available offering a top prize of Dh1 million. 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.
