Filipina security guard wins Dh1 million Big Ticket in UAE
Christine and 10 of her colleagues teamed up to purchase the winning ticket
Abu Dhabi: The Millionaire e-Draw series returns this December, with four lucky winners announced each week, each taking home Dh1 million.
This week, Christine Requerque Pedido, a 36-year-old security guard from the Philippines, became the latest fortunate winner, claiming the incredible grand prize.
Christine, who has been working and living in Al Ain for the past four months, is celebrating a life-changing moment. She currently resides in company accommodation with her colleagues, while her family remains in her hometown in the Philippines.
Six years
Her connection with Big Ticket dates back six years, during her first job in the UAE. Although she was drawn to the idea of trying her luck, she couldn’t afford to buy a ticket back then.
However, earlier this year, upon returning to the UAE, she came across Big Ticket’s promotions on Facebook and decided it was finally time to give it a shot.
“To win on my very first ticket feels absolutely surreal,” she shared with excitement. “I never imagined this would happen, but it shows that luck can find you when you least expect it.”
Christine and 10 of her colleagues teamed up to purchase the winning ticket, and now they are carefully considering their next steps.
“We’re still deciding whether to save the prize money or invest it in a business. Either way, we’ll continue working hard and trying our luck with more Big Ticket entries. We’re already looking forward to the Jan. 3 live draw!” She has a simple message for other Big Ticket participants: “Stay hopeful and take a chance.”

Big Ticket December excitement
This December, every Big Ticket purchase not only gives participants a chance to win the grand prize of Dh30 million in the upcoming live draw but also enters them into the weekly draws for a chance to win Dh1 million every week throughout the month!
Anyone who purchases two tickets in a single transaction between Dec. 1 and 25th will be entered into weekly e-draws. Each week, one lucky winner will be selected to join the Jan. 3 live draw to play the Big Win contest, with guaranteed prizes ranging from Dh20,000 to Dh150,000. For car enthusiasts, December is even more exciting, as a Maserati Grecale will be up for grabs on Jan. 3, for tickets purchased throughout the month.
