Dubai-Based Indian Expat Wins Dh15 Million in Big Ticket Draw

In a stroke of luck during the UAE Union Day holidays, a Dubai-based Indian expat, Ashish Moholkar, clinched a staggering Dh15 million in Abu Dhabi’s Big Ticket draw series 258. The winning ticket, number 223090, was purchased by Ashish on November 27.

Unbelievable News Delivered Live:

Although not watching the draw live, Ashish received an unexpected call from the show host, Richard, breaking the astonishing news of his Dh15 million victory. 

Expressing disbelief, Ashish sought reassurance, repeatedly asking, “Is this real?” The hosts confirmed his win, leaving him astonished.

Strategic Ticket Purchase:

An account manager, Ashish strategically bought his winning ticket online through a buy-two-get-one-free promotion after a two-year gap since returning to the UAE from India. Serendipitously, the winning number belonged to the complimentary ticket.

Overwhelmed by the unexpected windfall, Ashish said he would consult with his mother and wife to plan his next steps, as the victory took him by complete surprise.
