Abu Dhabi: A 39-year-old United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Indian expatriate from Rajasthan, won the grand prize of Dirhams 15 million (Rs 33,83,29,693) in the Big Ticket Abu Dhabi weekly draw.
The winner Sakil Khan Sarwar Khan— bagged the prize after buying ticket number 191115 for the raffle draw number 254, which he had purchased online on July 25, on his birthday.
Khan, who works as an engineering coordinator at an IT company in Dubai, purchased the ticket along with some of his colleagues and friends. He will be splitting the cash prize among 15 people.
“Usually, I select raffle ticket numbers randomly. This time, though, I purchased the tickets on my birthday and really thought hard about the numbers I chose,” Khan told Big Ticket organisers.
He plans to clear his debts and start a business with the piece of his fortune.
