In the first outdoor Big Ticket Live Draw since 2020, an Indian hotel employee in Dubai won Dh 25 million i.e. Rs 55.67 crore.
Sajesh NS, a Dubai resident, won the Series 245 jackpot prize. He has been purchasing Big Tickets every month for the past four years.
Sajesh, who moved to the UAE from Oman two years ago, purchased the winning ticket online along with 20 of his coworkers. They will now all split the jackpot prize money.
With the grand prize money, the Indian-origin man intends to assist his colleagues.
“There are over 150 employees at the hotel where I work, and I would like to help out as many of them as I can by sharing a portion of my winnings with them,” Sajesh told Gulf News.
Sajesh plans to continue buying lottery tickets every month.
The next live draw will take place in December, and for the first time, one lucky winner will receive Dh 30 million.
