Brother of visually impaired siblings, newcomer to Dubai among lucky expats

Abu Dhabi: The UAE Lottery has revealed the details of five new winners of Dh100,000.
The winners include a Pakistani expat, who supports his two visually impaired siblings, and a German expat, who came to Dubai just a few months ago, marking “an exciting new chapter in life.”
The other winners, who moved to the UAE in hopes of more opportunities and a better life, hail from Nepal, Philippines and Azerbaijan, the company said.
The provider brother
Muhammad Adnan from Pakistan carries the weight of his family on his shoulders. As the eldest son of three siblings, he left home for better opportunities to support his family after his father’s passing. “My two brothers are blind, and their whole responsibility is on me, now I can support them even more,” he says. The Dh100,000 win will make a significant difference, helping him provide even more for his family’s needs.
Muhammad Adnan from Pakistan
Biljana Wohlert from Germany took a chance with The UAE Lottery and won Dh100,000 in the Lucky Day Draw. Having moved to the UAE just last August, she said this win marks an exciting new chapter in her life. “All the money from my win will go to my son’s school. Education is very important,” Biljana said. Her win not only helps secure her son’s future, but it is also a great start to her journey in the UAE.
Perfect recipe for success
As a passionate chef from the Philippines, Daniel Hermanos never expected to be in this position when he decided to try his luck with The UAE Lottery. Initially, he was hesitant, but his friends convinced him it was worth a try.
“Everyone was getting excited about the potential of winning the 100 million,” he said. “So, I joined the fun, and here I am!” But Daniel isn't stopping at Dh100,000. “The 100 million is next,” he says, sharing his plans to play again for the jackpot, and hopefully using the winnings to further his career.
Dream of a home
Dil Badhaur came to the UAE four years ago, planning to work hard to achieve financial stability. However, this hard work was all in service of his dream to one day return to Nepal and build his own home. Upon winning Dh00,000 through The UAE Lottery, he said: “I don’t have a house of my own yet, I’m excited to finally be able to build one back home.”
Unexpected New Year’s gift
Tural Abbassov, originally from Azerbaijan, has lived in the UAE since 2007. When The UAE Lottery was officially launched, he decided to take a chance — and just two days before New Year’s, fate gave him a surprise. “It was two days before New Year’s, like a present,” he recalled, remembering the moment he received the thrilling notification while chatting with friends.
