Indian expat in Abu Dhabi hits Dh25 million Big Ticket jackpot – winner still unreachable

An Indian expat in Abu Dhabi has won Dh25 million in the Big Ticket raffle draw, Series 280.
Saravanan Venkatachalam bagged the jackpot with the six-digit winning number 463221, which he purchased on October 30.
However, the show hosts, Richard and Bouchra, were unable to reach him. On the first attempt, the phone didn’t ring and there was a “switched off” message.

“What a terrible time to switch your phone off. But we are not going to put the ticket back,” Richard said. “We will find you,” Bouchra noted.

Despite multiple attempts afterwards, the phone rang once but went unanswered.

“Come on, Saravanan, please pick up the call. This is the call everyone has been waiting for,” the hosts urged, adding that they would continue trying his only available phone number and email address.

The winning ticket was drawn by Harun Sarder Nur, the winner of the Dh20 million grand prize in Series 279.
