Filipino EMT wins Dh100,000 in UAE Lottery after seeing Google ad, plans dream home
Sherwin Rafael Trinidad with his ceremonial cheque for Dh100,000./X/ @theuaelottery Sherwin Rafael Trinidad, a Filipino expatriate and emergency medical technician (EMT) based in Ajman, has won Dh100,000 ($27,225) in The UAE Lottery's Lucky Chance draw. The UAE Lottery is the first and only official lottery in the United Arab Emirates, regulated by the UAE government and the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). Trinidad, who has been working in the UAE for the past seven years, shared his story in a video posted by The UAE Lottery on its official social media channels. He explained that his win came from a moment of curiosity sparked by an online advertisement. 'I discovered the UAE Lottery in a Google ad. I got interested, created an account, and finally, here I am now,' he said, holding a ceremonial cheque for Dh100,000 ($27,225). Trinidad used the opportunity to encourage others not to give up on their hopes of winning, especially those who may be feeling disheartened. 'For everybody out there: just don't lose hope. I've been there before. I thought I will never win this amount, but yeah, just don't lose hope. Just keep on playing the game,' he advised. The EMT, originally from the Philippines, said that the prize money would go toward fulfilling his long-cherished dreams. His first goal is to build his dream home and start a business back in his home country. 'Definitely, I will build my dream house and dream business in the Philippines. I also want to help other people in need, especially those with medical needs,' he added. His win reflects a growing trend of UAE residents finding fortune through digital lottery platforms, such as The UAE Lottery, which offers jackpot prizes of up to Dh100 million ($27.2 million).

UAE: MGM Resorts sees ‘opportunity for gaming expansion in Dubai'
The US-based MGM Resorts International said it has an agreement to bring three of its brands to the UAE. The multinational hospitality, entertainment and casino firm has a non-gaming management contract with a Dubai firm but sees a 'potential opportunity for gaming expansion in Dubai' following the establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) in the UAE. In October 2024, Wynn Resorts was awarded a Commercial Gaming Facility Operator licence by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) of UAE to develop the Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah. Wynn Al Marjan is the first entity to have the licence to operate an integrated gaming resort in the Middle East. 'In the UAE, we currently have a non-gaming management agreement with Wasl Hospitality to bring the Bellagio, Aria, and MGM Grand brands to Dubai. With the UAE's establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, tasked with creating a regulatory framework for commercial gaming, we are encouraged by the potential opportunity for gaming expansion in Dubai. We are continuously exploring new geographies for future development, including Thailand,' MGM Resorts said in its annual report. Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and president of MGM Resorts International, last year said at Skift Global Forum 2024 that the US-based hotel operator has applied for a licence to operate a gaming facility in the UAE. "Yes, we have (applied). We've done it in Abu Dhabi,' he said during the Forum. Last week, Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, dismissed any concerns around the UAE granting a licence to its competitors to build another integrated gaming resort in the country. While speaking during an earning call after the fourth quarter results, Billings said it takes at least four years to design and build an integrated gaming resort, therefore, they have the advantage of being the first. 'We don't believe that every emirate will avail themselves of potential license by any means. And as we keep our ear to the ground with respect to what's going on… We're opening in March 2027, so think about the fact that it takes a minimum of four years to design and build an integrated resort. You can imagine that we're going to have a very, very healthy lead,' he said during a conference call with analysts. Billings sees the UAE gaming market reaching $3-$5 billion (Dh11 to Dh18.35 billion) over time.
