Mohammed, a senior estimation engineer for a construction company in Mussaffah, has been playing since 2015, hoping to finally hit the jackpot. He plans to use the winnings to buy a house in his hometown of Kerala and save the rest for his daughter's education. This marks the 285th time an Indian national has won $1 million in the Millennium Millionaire promotion since its inception in 1999. The draw, which occurs every other Wednesday, has seen two winners in each draw so far this month.",
