Winners show us powerful stories of struggle and hope that reminds us that we’re all striving for a better tomorrow no matter what challenges life brings. In a thrilling recent Game, six international lucky players were among the 5,633 winners in the Emirates Draw, collectively taking home over AED 936,500.
Emirates Draw has truly been life-changing for these participants, giving them renewed hope and fresh dreams.
One of these winners is Jom Joy Kurian, an Indian expatriate living in Qatar, who came close to winning the Emirates Draw EASY6 AED 15 million Grand Prize. As an engineer originally from Idukki, Kerala, Kurian matched five out of six numbers and won second prize of AED 150,000 (₹33.75 Lakh). Even if he just missed the Grand Prize, he is grateful for his win and remains hopeful for what’s to come.

“I usually stick to a few lucky numbers, and to see most of them match was completely unexpected. It’s amazing how close I came to changing my life forever,” Kurian.
On the other hand, Ganapathi Pathuri who was an Indian logistics coordinator in Oman, won AED 60,000 (₹13.5 Lakh) in the EASY6 Top Raffle. For him, this win was more than just luck. Sharing the news with his wife was a moment of relief and joy and it opened new possibilities for their future.
“I’m so excited. I had so many problems, but now, they’re solved. I’ll use some of the money to pay off loans and the rest for my kids’ education,” Ganapathi said.
He was participating in Emirates Draw for two years. He discovered the platform through social media. He plans to soon share the good news with his family back in India and use the prize to relieve his financial pressures.
Other winners have equally inspiring stories. Ashish Kumar, a businessman from Kerala, India, celebrated his AED 50,000 (₹11.25 Lakh) Top Raffle win in the FAST5 draw.

Then there’s Nader Saeed, a Yemeni residing in Saudi Arabia, who won AED 70,000 (SAR 71,491) in the MEGA7 draw. Working as a technical services adviser, Saeed dreams of winning the AED 100 million Grand Prize one day.
