Abu Dhabi: Two expats in the UAE, who became the latest winners of Dh100,000 each in The UAE Lottery game, have shared their journey to winning.

Nadim Mohanna from Lebanon, said he decided to try his luck after he received a mobile notification from Botim about The UAE Lottery.

“I wasn’t familiar with it at first,” he said. “I told my wife about it, and we kept it hush-hush until we confirmed it was real.”

Once he realised that The UAE Lottery is a reliable and trustworthy brand, he was encouraged to give it a try: “It sounded official and secure, so I bought a ticket, and I plan to keep buying and participating in the games. Next time, I’m aiming for the Dh100 million,” he said.

Meanwhile, Cristian Buitrago, a Colombian national living and working in the UAE since 2013, said he became lucky through his Lucky Chance ID.

Laughing at the memory

Recalling the moment he found that he had won Dh100,000, he said: “I sent a notification to my wife, and she thought I’d won Dh100 – not Dh100,000!” Laughing at the memory, he says the prize money will go toward his eldest daughter’s education.

Cristian has his sights set on even bigger goals. “I’m focused on winning the grand prize,” he said.

“To everyone who’s thinking of joining; go ahead. One day, luck will be on your side, and you will have the chance to make your dreams come true,” he added.

With excitement building for the next draw on April 19, players are encouraged to mark their calendars and stay connected through the UAE Lottery’s official channels for the latest updates and announcements.
