Sriram Rajagopalan, a 56-year-old retired Chennai, India-born engineer, was the first international winner of Emirates Draw’s Dh100 million (some \\$27 million) MEGA7 jackpot in March 2025. He won it by choosing random numbers on his phone with a stylus while keeping his eyes closed—a technique he had tried before without luck.
Prize Claim Process
Following a match of all seven numbers in the MEGA7 game, Sriram went through Emirates Draw’s regular verification process, which involves verification of identity and checks on compliance. The prize is usually paid out through secure international banking systems to ensure that the winner gets the whole amount.
Continued Participation
Even after his big win, Sriram still plays Emirates Draw games, focusing on playing responsibly and for the pleasure of the game. He recommends playing responsibly and keeping hopes alive.
Current Opportunities
Emirates Draw still provides the MEGA7 game worldwide with a jackpot now at \\$27 million. Eligible contestants who are 18 years and older may participate by signing up for the official Emirates Draw website or mobile app, choosing a seven-digit number or availing of an auto-pick, and buying an entry for AED 50. Every entry also provides entry into a raffle draw with guaranteed weekly prizes.
