“I always watch the Live Draw, but this time I couldn’t as I was busy with some work. When I received the e-mail notification, I thought I won AED 1000, but when I saw Dh50,000, I was shocked!” said Akbar Ali, who hailed from Andhra Pradesh.
Akbar’s wife was the first to hear about his win. “She didn’t believe me at first and thought I was joking,” he shared.
