Big Ticket Abu Dhabi reveals how UAE residents can win Dh100,000 for free without buying a ticket

Abu Dhabi's popular Big Ticket Abu Dhabi campaign is back for its fourth season, offering UAE residents the chance to win Dh100,000 without spending a dirham on a ticket. The Dear Big Ticket contest invites participants aged 18 and above to share their most meaningful dreams, with five categories to choose from: health and wellbeing, education, housing and accommodation, business and entrepreneurship, and family and union.

The contest is completely free to enter, with no requirement for a Big Ticket purchase. This season, there's a new twist: one participant will have the chance to turn a Dh10,000 win into the full Dh100,000 grand prize. The contest runs from August 3 to October 25, with entries open until August 23. From September 7 to September 27, the public can vote for their favourite stories, with winners announced weekly.

In addition to the Dh100,000 grand prize, nine shortlisted participants will each receive Dh10,000, with one of those stories receiving a second chance and having its prize upgraded to the full Dh100,000. Since launching in 2018, Dear Big Ticket has awarded Dh100,000 to six UAE residents, transforming their lives in various ways.
