A recent report announced that an Indian expat living in Abu Dhabi won a whopping Dh15 million in the Big Ticket raffle draw series 251. Pradeep Kumar, the lucky winner, bought his winning ticket number 048514 on April 13th. Although the show host, Richard, initially failed to reach him on his local phone number, Kumar had given an alternative Indian number that rang just in time. However, Kumar could not express his joy as he was at an airport in the south Indian city of Chennai when he received the call.

Kumar was over the moon when Richard broke the news of his unexpected grand prize. "Oh, yes, this is Pradeep Kumar," he said, still in disbelief. "Are you sure? I can't believe it. Really. This is very good news. Thanks." Recognizing the voice of the show host, Kumar exclaimed, "I think this is Mr. Richard. I am at Chennai airport. I can't yell out. I am on my way to Abu Dhabi."

Kumar is now the newest millionaire and plans to share his prize money with two of his closest friends. The Big Ticket is known for changing the lives of many people every year, and it continues to provide opportunities for people to win big. In fact, for the first time, Big Ticket will be giving away 100 prizes to 100 lucky winners this month in raffle draw series 252, with a grand prize of Dh20 million. Until May 31st, interested individuals can purchase tickets online through the Big Ticket website or by visiting in-store counters at Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Ain Airport.

Winning the lottery is a dream for many, and Pradeep Kumar's story is an inspiration for those who participate in the Big Ticket raffle draw. It goes to show that anything is possible with a stroke of luck and the right mindset.
