Dubai resident Ghufran Javed, a 33-year-old Pakistani expatriate, has won a share of a Dh25,000 Big Ticket prize after purchasing his second-ever entry. Living in Dubai with his family for 10 years, Javed works as a real estate broker and has followed Big Ticket for several years, regularly watching its live draws on YouTube. However, he only bought an entry once before his winning purchase.
The winning ticket was part of a group of six friends' combined entries, and Javed's win came as a surprise. Initially missing the winning call, Javed received an email confirming the win and confirmed it by checking on YouTube. Though initially unexpecting, Javed already has plans for part of his winnings, stating, "I’ll definitely use some of it to buy more Big Ticket entries."
This win follows a round of weekly e-draw winners, who have collectively taken home Dh100,000, with more prizes to be awarded in September, including a Dh20 million grand prize in the final draw on October 3.
