Former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel says she's "stunned" by Democrats' widespread midterm wins
Former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel acted as a surrogate for Mike Rogers' Senate campaign in Michigan. She joins "The Takeout" to discuss Rogers' loss in Tuesday's midterms and the massive victories picked up by Democrats.
A former mathematics teacher from India, Meena Sareen, has achieved an extraordinary feat by winning the Dh25 million jackpot in the latest Big Ticket draw. The homemaker, who has resided in the UAE for nearly two decades, was declared the grand prize winner during Tuesday's live broadcast. Originally hailing from Punjab, Sareen, now living in Dubai with her husband, expressed her astonishment at her life-altering fortune.
Sareen disclosed that she had been participating in Big Ticket draws for roughly four years, consistently purchasing tickets for over a year with two other individuals. The trio shared the expenses, with plans to distribute the winnings proportionally. Upon learning of her win, Sareen described a whirlwind of emotions: excitement, shock, and disbelief. She expressed her profound gratitude, acknowledging that she was still grappling with the magnitude of her newfound wealth.
The Dh25 million jackpot was one of several substantial prizes revealed during the draw. Kaja Thooliyath, an Indian expatriate residing in Al Ain, claimed a new Range Rover Velar in the Dream Car draw. In another heartwarming development, Inesh Mohan and his wife received Dh90,000 in additional prize money through the Richard and Bouchra's Choice Award.
The Sri Lankan and South African couple, along with their seven-year-old son Zack, who suffers from a severe neurological condition, needed round-the-clock care. Zack is both deaf and blind, and the family had been striving to secure a home for him. The unexpected Dh90,000 prize would aid them in addressing their outstanding property payments, which had been causing legal complications.
The couple was invited to the Big Ticket office to claim their Dh10,000 consolation prize earlier, only to later learn that they had been selected for the special award. Overwhelmed with joy, they intend to utilize the funds to finalize the purchase of a home for Zack.
As Big Ticket continues to captivate audiences, the lottery will unveil its November promotion on December 3. Another Dh25 million grand prize will be awarded during the live draw, accompanied by five consolation winners who will each receive Dh100,000.
