UAE: Two massive AED100,000 prizes still unclaimed; team seeks public’s help in finding winner – News

Whoever buys a raffle ticket this month stands a chance to win a grand prize of Dh15 million

The Big Ticket campaign in Abu Dhabi is calling on the public to help find the two winners who have yet to claim their cash prizes.

Ajith Kumar with lottery number 279888 and Mohammed Hanif with lottery number 262224 won AED100,000 in June’s fourth weekly electronic draw on 1 July. However, lucky e-sweepstakes winners are still out of reach.

“Despite extensive efforts, the Big Ticket team was unable to contact the winner,” the lottery team said in a statement.

In the same e-draw, the third winner was Qurat Ul Ain, a Pakistani housewife and mother of a six-year-old who won Dh100,000, along with 20 other winners who each won Dh10,000 Dirham.

The Qurat bought the winning ticket on the day of Eid al-Adha through the special “Buy 2 Tickets Get 2 Free” promotion. And her winning ticket happened to be one of the free tickets.

Asked about her plans, Kurat said she intends to save half of the cash prize for her son’s education and send the other half to Pakistan to support her husband’s parents.

Anyone who purchases a raffle ticket this month will automatically enter the weekly e-draw and stand a chance to be one of four winners worth AED 100,000 each.

The same ticket will give them the chance to win the Dh15 million grand prize or one of nine other life-changing cash prizes on August 3.

Individuals can purchase tickets for the next draw online at www.bigticket.ae until 31 July or at in-store counters at Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Ain International Airport.
