‘You never know’: Kerala nurse wins Big Ticket prize on second attempt

In a surprising turn of events, a 39-year-old Kerala nurse named Manikantan Mohanan has won Dh25,000 in Big Ticket's second weekly e-draw for August. Mohanan, who purchased his ticket at Abu Dhabi airport's Big Ticket store, had never experienced a win before this attempt. He had only entered the lottery once before and was unaware of the prize he had won.

The nurse expressed his happiness upon learning of his victory, stating that he was "very happy" to have won. With the Dh25,000 prize, Mohanan is considering putting the money into savings and is also planning to purchase another ticket in the future. He encourages others to try their luck, emphasizing that "you never know" when something unexpected can come your way.

This win is one of four in the second weekly e-draw for August, with each winner receiving Dh25,000. The promotion aims to offer participants further chances to win, with a total of 26 winners set to receive cash prizes and luxury cars. The grand finale of the month’s biggest prize will see a Dh15 million winner revealed during the live draw on September 3.
