Abu Dhabi-based Pakistani driver wins Dh25,000 in Big Ticket weekly e-draw
He plans to use his winnings to start something of his own
Dubai: An Abu Dhabi-based Pakistani driver has won Dh25,000 in Big Ticket’s weekly e-draw, marking his first-ever win after taking part from time to time.
Muhammad Imran Abdul, 32, has been living in Abu Dhabi for the past 15 years, while his family remains in Pakistan.
He first became familiar with Big Ticket by watching the draws online. Since then, he has occasionally tried his luck, always purchasing his tickets individually.
For his winning entry, Muhammad has left the choice entirely to chance and selected his ticket at random. The unexpected win has come as a surprise.
“I was so happy when I received the call. I had never won before, so hearing that my ticket was the winning one was such a great feeling,” exclaimed Abdul.
