Gyan, a Nepalese expat in Oman, is one of the three raffle winners. The 49-year-old father of two who works at a gas plant in Oman, received a phone call from his daughter in Dubai informing him of his win. Gyan was introduced to Mahzooz by his daughter, who is a regular participant, and finally decided to participate for the first time last Saturday.

Gyan plans to use his windfall to start his own business in Nepal and to provide a better education for his children.
