Abu Dhabi, April 2025:
A life-altering moment arrived for 45-year-old Rajesh Mullankil Vellilapullithodi, an Indian technician residing in Oman, when he won a massive 15 million Dirhams (approximately ₹34.88 crore) in the latest Big Ticket raffle draw held in Abu Dhabi.
Originally from Kerala and a resident of Oman for the past 33 years, Rajesh has been a long-time participant in the popular Big Ticket draw. This time, fortune finally smiled on him when his ticket number 375678, purchased online for Draw No. 273 on March 30, was declared the grand prize winner.
Expressing his emotions, Rajesh said, “It was an unbelievable moment. Just before the call, my friend asked me to check the results, but I never imagined I would actually win. I was overwhelmed with shock and happiness.”
Though still processing the monumental win, Rajesh mentioned he has no concrete plans yet, as he has always played the draw with a group of friends and plans to share the prize money with them.
Upcoming Big Ticket Promotions and Awards
In addition to Rajesh’s historic win, Big Ticket is currently gearing up for its Big Earn competition, which will offer four lucky players the chance to participate in a live draw event on May 3 and win guaranteed cash prizes worth between AED 20,000 and AED 150,000.
The names of these participants will be announced on May 1 via the official Big Ticket website.
To qualify for this special draw, customers must purchase two or more tickets in a single transaction between April 1 and April 24.
Luxury Car Giveaways
A BMW M440i will be given away on June 3 and a Range Rover Velar will be given away on May 3 as part of Big Ticket’s ongoing history of giving away luxury cars.
With the opportunity to drive away in luxury as well as huge cash prizes, these draws have made Big Ticket one of the most sought-after lotteries in the United Arab Emirates.
