Abu Ali got five of the winning six combinations 6-11-13-31-34-37 during the 10th draw held on January 30. A mathematics graduate who has living in the UAE for a long time, Abu Ali said he will use the winnings to secure his children’s future and donate a portion of the prize to charity.
Phone beeped
The draw is held live every Saturday at 9pm. At the time of the draw Abu Ali said he was watching a movie on Netflix when his phone beeped and a message appeared: ‘You won!”
He said: “I received a similar two-word notification before and I said maybe I won another Dh35. But then I figured there was no harm in checking. So, when I checked my Winnings Balance and saw the seven digits, I thought to myself: ‘Am I reading this correctly?’ The feeling at that moment was hard to describe, but after it sank in, I felt very blessed.”
