Kerala expat who bought Big Ticket for 10 years finally wins Dh110,000

A Kerala expat living in Sharjah has finally got lucky after a decade of trying, winning Dh110,000 in Big Ticket’s Big Win contest.
Lazar Joseph, a 57-year-old Indian resident, has been living in Sharjah for 13 years. For the past 10 years, he has been purchasing Big Ticket entries every month along with a group of friends, all hoping that their collective effort would eventually lead to a win.
“We are a group of 14 people. I will use my share of the winning amount for my daughter’s education,” he said.

Joseph said he was overwhelmed to hear his name among the winners for the Big Win contest.
“I wasn’t expecting it at all. The experience of visiting the Big Ticket studio and taking part in the competition was surreal. I’m extremely grateful.”
Despite finally securing a prize after years of participation, Joseph and his friends plan to continue taking part in future Big Ticket raffle draws.
His message to other hopeful participants: “Keep trying and never give up. Your moment will arrive.”
