Watch: Bangladeshi expat in Dubai wins Dh20 million in Big Ticket draw
Another resident from Sharjah wins Range Rover Velar in Dream Car Contest
DUBAI: A Bangladeshi expatriate in Dubai has become the latest millionaire in the UAE after winning the grand prize in Big Ticket’s Series 277 draw.
Sabuj Miah Amir Hossain Dewan secured the Dh20-million jackpot with ticket number 194560, which he purchased on July 29.
The live draw took place on Sunday, August 3, in Abu Dhabi and was broadcast on YouTube.
Interestingly, the winning ticket was picked by last month’s winner – another Bangladeshi expatriate – Mohammed Naser Balal, a 43-year-old electrician who had won Dh25 million in the July draw. The broadcast was briefly interrupted after the jackpot announcement.
What were the other wins?
In addition to the top prize, six consolation prizes of Dh50,000 were awarded to various winners, including five Indian nationals and one Emirati man from Abu Dhabi. Four more participants also walked away with cash prizes ranging between Dh50,000 and Dh150,000 through the popular 'Big Win' wheel.
Who won the Dream Car?
The Dream Car Contest also brought luck to another Bangladeshi. Parvez Hossain, a Sharjah-based expat, won a brand-new Range Rover Velar with ticket number 009409, purchased on July 13.
What’s coming in September?
Looking ahead, Big Ticket’s August promotion is offering a Dh15-million grand prize, with the live draw scheduled for September 3. On the same evening, six winners will each receive Dh100,000 in consolation prizes.
Customers purchasing two or more cash tickets in a single transaction between August 1 and 25 stand a chance to be selected to attend the live event and win additional cash prizes. Four participants will be chosen and announced on the Big Ticket website by September 1.
A BMW M440i is also up for grabs on September 3, while a Range Rover Velar will be awarded on October 3. Tickets are available online and at Zayed International Airport or Al Ain Airport.
