Aravind Appukuttan, an Indian living in Sharjah, won a massive Dh25-million prize with ticket number 447363 in the Big Ticket draw held on Tuesday, December 3. The exciting twist? His winning ticket was a free one!
When the Big Ticket hosts tried to reach Aravind, his friend contacted him first. While he realized he had won something, he had no idea it was Dh25 million until later. Aravind, who works as a salesperson and has been buying tickets for two years, was shocked by the win and revealed that he plans to share the prize with 20 others.
The Big Ticket team playfully teased him, saying the Sharjah resident, who was out shopping at the time, could now own his own store.
Other Winners in the Spotlight
The draw also featured last month’s winner, Prince Sebastian, who had won Dh20 million on November 3. As part of the tradition, Prince picked this month’s lucky ticket, making Aravind the newest millionaire.
In addition to the grand prize, the ‘Dream Car’ giveaway announced Harun Rashid, a Bangladeshi living in Saudi Arabia, as the winner of a BMW 840I with ticket number 018422.
