James couldn’t believe his luck when he read an email informing him that he had won.  
“I’ve just won Dh100,000 with the UAE Lottery,” he exclaimed.
As soon as he read the message, he spotted his wife and mother-in-law heading out. Without missing a beat, James dashed to the car, tapping his phone excitedly to share the incredible news: “Look, I’ve won!”
