“Actually, my husband was the one who used to purchase Big Tickets regularly,” she shared. “After he passed away, I felt it was only right to continue his legacy. When I received the winning call, I was asleep and woke up to a voice message. At first, I thought it was a scam—but after checking the official website, I realized it was true. I’m really, really happy—it still hasn’t sunk in.”

She added that she plans to split the cash prize among her group of friends and will continue to participate in upcoming draws. “I will definitely keep purchasing, and I encourage everyone to buy a ticket—you never know, your turn might be next.”

Jishnu Thottingal Kunjankutty

A 27-year-old IT professional who has been living in Abu Dhabi for the past five years has been purchasing Big Tickets every month for the past year, along with a group of 10 friends.

“I’m really shocked and happy at the same time,” he said with a laugh. “Like many others, I initially thought it was a fake call—but then I recognised Richard’s voice and realised it was real.”

He shared that he plans to split the cash prize with his group of friends and continue participating in future draws. “We definitely plan on buying more tickets together.”

A 55-year-old driver from Kerala, who has been living in Kuwait for the past 20 years, has been a loyal Big Ticket customer for the last five years. While he initially began purchasing tickets with a group of friends, he has recently started entering the draw on his own.

“I had just stepped out of the house when my family called to tell me I had won the e-draw,” he shared. “I quickly checked the website to confirm—and it was true. I had won. I’m so happy right now.”

He mentioned that he plans to use part of the prize to clear some outstanding debts, while the rest is still undecided. “I will definitely continue buying tickets, and I encourage others to do the same. You never know—it could be your turn next.”
