Dubai-based Bangladeshi expat Jahangir Alom has struck it big, winning an astonishing Dh20 million in the latest Abu Dhabi Big Ticket draw held on Monday, March 3.
A Life-Changing Win
Jahangir, a 44-year-old shipbuilding industry worker, had purchased ticket number 134468 on February 11. Having lived in Dubai for six years while his family remains in Bangladesh, he has been participating in the Big Ticket draw for the past three years alongside 14 friends who pool their money each month to increase their chances of winning.
"I was deep in prayer when the call came in. When I stepped out, my friend broke the incredible news. Since then, I’ve been overwhelmed with joy. But what makes this win truly special is that it’s not just mine; it belongs to 14 others and their families too," Jahangir shared.
A Special Draw Moment
Adding to the excitement of the event, February's grand prize winner, Ashik Patinharath, made a surprise appearance to pick the latest winner. Exactly one month after his own victory, Ashik had the honor of announcing Jahangir as the Dh20-million winner, making the moment even more memorable.
Future Plans and Continued Participation
Jahangir has big plans for his share of the winnings. He aspires to start a small business in Dubai and involve his friends in the venture.
"I will definitely keep buying tickets. I hope my story inspires others to take a chance and be part of this incredible journey," he added.
