Bangladeshi expat in Sharjah wins Dh20 million in Big Ticket

A Bangladeshi expat based in Sharjah won Dh20 million in the Big Ticket draw Series 279, held in Abu Dhabi.
Harun Sarder Nur Nobi Sarder won with his ticket number 035350, which he purchased on September 14.

“Ok, ok. I am in Sharjah from Bangladesh. I am a private taxi (driver). Ok, thank you,” the new millionaire told show hosts Richard and Bouchra.
“I am sharing this with 10 people,” he said.

The 44-year-old taxi driver has been living in the UAE since 2009, and has called Abu Dhabi home for the past 15 years. With his family back in Bangladesh, he has been purchasing Big Ticket every month, never giving up on his dream of winning.

Even though he is still not sure what to do with the prize money, he is excited to keep purchasing tickets and participating with Big Ticket.

"I encourage others to not give up on their dreams because with Big Ticket, no dream is ever too far," he added.
