Dubai: A Kerala expatriate, Saidalavi Kariodan Varichalil, has won Dh 100,000 in the Big Ticket Series 289 after his friend Anub randomly selected his winning ticket. Varichalil, a 44-year-old school watchman who has lived in the UAE for 17 years, plays the game with a group of friends every month. The win, achieved through a random ticket, is special for both Varichalil and Anub, marking their first Big Ticket victory together.
Despite his win, he plans to send his share of the prize money to his family in India. Varichalil has purchased another ticket for the next draw, maintaining his belief in staying hopeful. This was one of five Dh 100,000 winners in Series 289, bringing the total prize winnings to half a million dirhams. Big Ticket is also offering more opportunities to win this August, including a Dh 15 million jackpot draw on 3 September and luxury car prizes.
