Worker and Friends Celebrate Dh20 Million Big Ticket Win

A group of friends and a construction worker from the UAE have struck gold, winning a staggering Dh20 million in the Big Ticket lottery. The win came as a surprise, as they had almost forgotten about their ticket purchase. This life-changing moment has sparked dreams of business ventures and securing their children’s futures.

Key Takeaways

  • Abul Monsur Abdul Sabur and friends won Dh20 million in the Big Ticket draw.
  • The group had almost forgotten they entered the lottery.
  • Monsur plans to invest in a business and secure his children’s education.

The Winning Moment

On the eve of the Big Ticket draw, 50-year-old Abul Monsur Abdul Sabur and his friends were casually chatting at a cafeteria when the topic of winning came up. Monsur, a Bangladeshi construction worker who has participated in the draw for 16 years, had bought five tickets with 11 friends and family members.

"We didn’t talk about such things before," he recalled. The next day, a call from Big Ticket representatives Richard and Bouchra changed everything. Initially skeptical, Monsur thought it was a prank until they confirmed his winning number.

Splitting The Prize

The prize money will be divided among the 11 ticket holders based on their contributions:

  • Some contributed Dh50
  • Others pitched in Dh100
  • A few gave Dh200

Monsur himself contributed Dh100, and the prize will be split accordingly.

Future Plans

With the winnings, Monsur has clear aspirations. He dreams of starting his own business, a goal he has held for years but lacked the funds to pursue.

"I have wanted to start a business for a long time, but I never had the funds. Now, with this win, I can finally plan for it," he said. He is still undecided about whether to launch the business in the UAE or back in Bangladesh.

In addition to his entrepreneurial ambitions, Monsur is committed to ensuring his children receive a quality education, a priority he has maintained throughout his years of hard work.

The Big Ticket Experience

The Big Ticket lottery has become a popular event in the UAE, offering life-changing prizes. This month, the grand prize was set at Dh20 million, with additional weekly draws for smaller cash prizes. Participants can purchase tickets online or at designated locations, making it accessible for many.

Monsur’s story is a testament to the dreams that can come true through perseverance and a little luck. As he and his friends celebrate their newfound wealth, they are also reminded of the importance of family and future planning.

This win not only changes their financial status but also opens doors to new opportunities and aspirations that were once just dreams.
