Abu Dhabi: Mubarak Gharib Rashed Salem Al Dhaheri, an Emirati man, has won the Dh20 million grand prize in Big Ticket’s Draw Series 275, held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Al Dhaheri, who resides in Al Ain, purchased the winning ticket number 337126 on May 27.

“Thank God. Yes, I am from Al Ain. I have been buying for the past two years, and I’ve been purchasing from Al Ain Airport,” Al Dhaheri told the show hosts Richard and Bouchra.

“I’m not sharing the ticket with anyone. Inshallah, I can do some charity and buy a house,” he said.

An excited Richard noted: “I am speechless. Our first UAE [Emirati] jackpot grand winner in a long time.”
Thajudeen Aliyar Kunju, last month’s grand prize winner, picked the winning ticket.
