The latest Big Ticket weekly draw has brought joy to two lucky winners, each securing a cash prize of Dh250,000. As part of the ongoing February weekly e-Draw series, two winners are announced every week, adding excitement to hopeful participants.
MD Mozammal Hoque Bhuiyan Akterar Zaman Bhuiyan and Alamgir Hafezur Rahman are this week's lucky winners.
"I'm truly at a loss for words—this moment is beyond happiness," shared MD Mozammal Hoque Bhuiyan Akterar Zaman Bhuiyan.
The 47-year-old driver from Bangladesh first heard about Big Ticket seven years ago. Since then, he has been purchasing Big Ticket entries every month with a group of 20 friends.
While the Dubai expat hasn't decided how he'll use his winnings yet, he noted: "One thing is certain: I will be sharing this prize with my friends, just as we have always played together. This win has only strengthened my belief in Big Ticket, and I will definitely continue buying more entries."
Bhuiyan, who has been living in Dubai for the past 13 years, encouraged participants who are still waiting for their winning moment. "My advice is simple—keep going, your moment will come," he said.
Alamgir Hafezur Rahman, also from Bangladesh, is a 42-year-old security guard who won the Dh250,000 prize alongside Bhuiyan. Introduced to Big Ticket by his colleagues, he has been purchasing tickets as part of a group of 10 for some time now.
"When I received the winning call, I was overwhelmed with joy," the Dubai expat shared.
Rahman, who has been living in Dubai for 15 years, shared that the cash prize will be divided among his group. "It will make a huge difference in our lives. Some of us will use it to pay off debts back home, while others will send it to support our families," he shared.
"Winning has given us even more hope, and we are determined to continue trying our luck — our next dream is to win the Dh20 million grand prize."
This February, one lucky ticket holder will claim the grand prize of Dh20 million. In addition to the grand prize, Big Ticket continues to offer weekly draws, awarding two winners with Dh250,000 each.
The excitement doesn't stop here. Thrilling opportunities also await those who purchase two or more cash tickets in a single transaction by February 23rd. These participants will automatically be entered into the Big Win Contest, where four lucky winners will be selected and announced on March 1. Meanwhile, on March 3, participants will get their shot at the wheel, winning guaranteed cash prizes ranging from Dh20,000 to Dh150,000.
For those dreaming of owning a luxury car, February's promotion includes two spectacular dream car draws. The Maserati Grecale draw is set for April 3, while the Range Rover Velar draw will take place on March 3.
