Kerala expat celebrates first Big Ticket win of Dh100,000

Kerala native Akhil Chandran R P, a 28-year-old sales and customer service professional, won Dh100,000 in the Series 289 consolation prize draw for the first time. Having lived in the UAE for five years, he joined the draw seven years ago through a friend's recommendation. This month, it was a friend's random ticket selection that triggered the win.

Akhil intends to save his winnings and is eager to buy a ticket for the next draw. He encourages others to keep playing, stating, "Always buy a ticket, you don't know when your luck will come. One day you will also get lucky like us." Akhil's win is part of Series 289, where five winners shared Dh500,000 in prizes. With summer in full swing, Big Ticket is offering increased chances for August, including Dh15 million, Dh100,000, and Dh25,000 prizes, as well as opportunities to compete for Dh1 million with The Big Spin.
