Father strikes luck after daughter picks winning ticket, securing his first win

Amit Tiwari, a loyal Big Ticket participant for the past 10 years, finally struck luck after winning Dh20,000 during the promotion’s Race and Luxury Yacht experience at the Formula One weekend in Abu Dhabi.
This year, for the first time, Big Ticket introduced an experience-based promotion, giving 30 winners the chance to claim cash prizes aboard a yacht during two days of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit.
Tiwari was flown in from India by the Big Ticket team to attend the F1 festivities, marking his first-ever win since he began purchasing tickets a decade ago. His daughter had picked the winning ticket, and Tiwari said he intends to gift her the entire cash prize.
“I am feeling happy. I will give this money to my daughter,” he said, expressing his excitement moments after the win.
Calling his trip to the UAE capital a memorable one, Tiwari praised the organisers for their warm hospitality.
“I had an amazing time in Abu Dhabi,” he added.
Tiwari described the F1 event and the Big Ticket experience as “wonderful,” thanking the team for their exceptional support throughout his visit.
