New winners from Pakistan, UK, Indonesia, and the Philippines that changed their lives
Thousands of people around the world took a big step toward a new beginning in their lives last week by winning prizes with Emirates Draw. Over 3,200 participants were lucky enough to win more than AED 570,000 through the various games offered, including EASY6, FAST5, MEGA7, and PICK1.
One of the biggest winners is Ismaeel Gul Khan Sarwar, a Pakistani businessman living in Qatar. He won the top raffle prize of AED 70,000 through the MEGA7 game. His recent win has brought him closer to achieving his dream of relocating to Dubai. About his experience, Khan shared, “It felt good when I saw my name on the screen. You only have a chance to win if you play. So, keep playing. Inshallah, luck will be with you.”
Another lucky winner, Abubakar Rohidin from Indonesia is an accountant who also lives in Qatar. He won an impressive AED 150,000 through the EASY6 game. Although he missed the AED 15 million Grand Prize by just one number Rohidin remains grateful for his significant win. He plans to invest his prize money in property and use some of it to support charitable causes, showing how Emirates Draw encourages social responsibility and philanthropy. Rohidin shared that his friend helped him choose the winning numbers, selecting his children’s birthdays, which had always been lucky for him. They agreed to share the prize evenly between them.
Similarly, Rommel Carpio Tupas, a project accountant from the Philippines, was another fortunate player who won the FAST5 top raffle prize of AED 50,000. Tupas has been a regular participant since 2023, inspired by the story of a previous FAST5 Grand Prize winner, Freilyn Angob, who receives AED 25,000 monthly for 25 years. Balancing his family life, with his wife working in Dubai and his two children living with him in the Philippines, Tupas plans to use his prize money to start a new business. His story highlights how Emirates Draw is not just about winning but also about using those wins to create new opportunities.
Dean Simons, a 56-year-old entrepreneur from Hinckley, Leicestershire in the UK is another incredible example of a repeat winner. Known for previously winning the MEGA7 Raffle Draw twice at the same time Simons recently broke his record by winning four times in a single draw. A regular participant since last year, Simons runs a software development company and plays because of the attractive Grand Prize and the UAE’s tax-exemption laws.
From helping individuals move closer to their dreams to supporting charitable causes and starting new ventures, these stories showcase how Emirates Draw changes lives and offers daily opportunities for people worldwide. The excitement of winning with Emirates Draw continues, and new chances await weekly.
