UAE: 3 expats from Kerala win Dh150,000 each in Big Ticket's weekly e-draw
Three lucky winners take home Dh150,000 each in this week's Big Ticket e-draw. Suseel Kumar Chittari Thodikayil, an HR assistant from Kerala, who has been living in Saudi Arabia with his family for the past 32 years, first learned about Big Ticket five years ago through friends. Since then, the 58-year-old has been purchasing tickets along with 24 colleagues and friends. His winning ticket came through the Buy 2 Get 2 promotion. 'I came across the Buy 2 Get 2 offer during the Eid holidays and decided to take the chance and purchase the tickets. When I received the winning call, it felt completely unreal; it was such an exciting moment. I plan to split the prize with my group, and we will continue participating in upcoming draws," Suseel said. A 35-year-old sales employee from Kerala, Vishnu Unnithan, has been living in Dubai for 10 years. He has been regularly purchasing Big Ticket entries with a group of seven friends over the same period. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. 'When I received the winning call, I was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. I plan to share the prize money with my friends and use my portion to support my family," shared Vishnu. Another expat from Kerala, Sreeja Nandakumar Yezhuvath, has been purchasing Big Tickets with her husband for the past 10 years. An Abu Dhabi resident since 2002, the couple bought tickets each month, sometimes on their own and other times with a group of friends. This time, the winning ticket was purchased by her husband just a day before the draw, without informing her. "To be honest, I was never the one really into Big Ticket, it was always my husband who made sure we bought our tickets every month. When I received the winning call, I was in complete shock and disbelief. I genuinely thought it was a scam at first. That's when my husband told me he had bought a ticket for this draw, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. It still feels like a dream. "We haven't yet decided how we'll use the prize money, but I do have a few ideas in mind, so hopefully everything works out. I've started believing in Big Ticket more now and will continue entering future draws. My husband always says, 'One day, your time will come.' So my advice to others is: never give up.'
