Said Riyas, 'I am so happy about my win. I knew that I would win again. I couldn't answer the Big Ticket call because I was at work and my friend checked the Big Ticket website and told me that my name was there. I was very happy, and I called my wife and kids, and they were all happy.'

When asked about his plans, the lucky winner said, 'I will share the prize with my friends, and with my cash portion, I will bring my wife and kids to Abu Dhabi for a 2-month vacation. We will continue buying Big Ticket, and I am sure that one day we will win the grand prize.’’
