Overview
- Saravanan Venkatachalam, an Indian expat in Abu Dhabi, won the Dh25 million jackpot with ticket number 463221 in the November 3 live draw (series 280).
- He initially missed calls from the Big Ticket team and realised he had won only after repeated calls from his wife and friends.
- He purchased the entry as part of a pooled ticket with about 25 colleagues, and he says each member will receive roughly Dh1 million.
- Other prizes from the same draw included Dh150,000 for Mohammed Elias, Dh130,000 for Thiyagarajan Periyaswami, and Dh110,000 for Lazar Joseph, while a Bangladeshi expat from Al Ain won a Nissan Patrol in the Dream Car draw.
- Big Ticket is promoting a December 3 live draw for another Dh25 million grand prize, with November purchases entering related E-draws that award cash, race-weekend trips, and yacht-event prizes.
