New UAE lottery: Spend Dh5, win Dh2,500 with ‘Pick 3’

Abu Dhabi: If you have got Dh5 and a lucky hunch, you could walk away with up to Dh2,500, thanks to The UAE Lottery’s newly launched ‘Pick 3’ daily draw game, announced on Wednesday.

For just Dh5 per ticket, players can choose three numbers between 0 and 9 and stand a chance to win one of three prizes — Dh425, Dh850, or the top prize of Dh2,500.

The draw is held every day, giving participants a daily shot at walking away with instant cash, according to the UAE Lottery, which offers up to Dh100million as its mega jackpot in another game.

The UAE Lottery clarified to Gulf News that the new draw does not follow the physical format of its bi-weekly live draw featuring its show hosts. Instead, it will be an online draw using a random number generator.

How to win:

The new game offers multiple ways to win:

Exact Match: Match all three numbers in exact order to win Dh2,500.

Any 3: Match two identical numbers in any order to win Dh850.

Any 6: Match three different numbers in any order for Dh425.

Participants can also opt for an ‘Easy Pick’ feature, which randomly selects three numbers in case they fancy taking a lucky dip.

“The launch of the ‘Pick 3’ daily draw means we are enabling our participants to continue to dream big every single day by introducing more variety in our games and giving them opportunities to win exciting cash prizes. Players can now enjoy a broader range of games to play all within the secure and regulated framework of The UAE Lottery, ensuring operational integrity and transparency,” said Bishop Woosley, Director of Lottery Operations at The Game LLC.

Launched in November 2024, The UAE Lottery is the first federally licensed lottery in the country and across the Gulf region, regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). Alongside its flagship Dh100 million grand prize draw, four other prizes ranging from Dh1million to Dh100. It also offers a series of scratch cards with top prizes of Dh1 million, Dh300,000, Dh100,000, and Dh50,000.
