Dubai: The latest batch of Emirates Draw winners included two participants from the Middle East: Mohsen Murad from Egypt and Abdul Qader Mohammed Saqallah from Jordan who won Dh77,777 each in the latest draw.
Murad, 39, a salesman and a father of three based in Ajman, said: “I still can’t believe that I won. I was watching the livestream on Facebook and was shocked to see my name appear, especially since my English isn’t strong so it was a bit of a struggle to understand how to create an account. It was all worth it though as I won.”
“I will help more people especially those who depend on me, including relatives and friends. I’m also going to buy a few essentials for my family that I’ve been putting off,” he added.
Saqallah, an investment analyst based in Dubai, said: “I was relaxing in bed when I received the notification that I had won. I was so shocked and happy at the same time that I jumped out of bed and celebrated the amazing news. I plan to invest my winnings and hope that my good fortune will continue to grow.”
How to play?
To enter the weekly draw, participants need to purchase a Dh50 pencil that will support in planting coral polyps. After registering online, participants can select their seven-digit number or have the system choose their number randomly.
