Abu Dhabi: A 28-year-old Indian expatriate from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has won the grand prize of AED 20,000 (Rs 4,48,927) in the Dream Island scratch card game.

The game’s winner, Sahajan Mohammad, hails from the town of Jaspur in Odisha state and works as a chef at a hotel in Abu Dhabi.

He will also use the winnings for construction costs and in part to help his relatives, helping them make ends meet.
