Mohammed Adil Khan, a 33-year-old Indian expat, has won big in Dubai’s Lucky Draw. Working as an architect and interior designer in Dubai for five years, Khan felt he could retire early after receiving Dh25,000 monthly for the next 25 years from Emirates Draw.
The news of his unexpected windfall came as a pleasant surprise to Khan while he was resting after work. He received a congratulatory email, and the initial shock turned into excitement. The organizers also called to congratulate him, leaving him overwhelmed and grateful.
Khan, originally from Azamgarh in India, supports a family of eight back home and considers himself the sole breadwinner. He has taken up the responsibility of his nephews and plans to enroll them in school in the UAE. With the winnings, Khan intends to bring his family to the UAE and is carefully considering how to spend the amount.
Despite his newfound wealth, Khan will not leave his job, as he loves his work and aims to contribute to the fullest. His journey from Saudi Arabia to Dubai in 2018 was driven by his commitment to education and helping others. He believes in giving back to society and regularly contributes to charities, helping those less privileged.
Khan’s life has had its share of hardships, but his drive to make a positive change in his community has always fueled him. He has gained respect from his village by assisting classmates with their studies during his education, which was supported by his well-off relatives.
Emotions ran high when Khan lost his brother, making him more concerned about his aging parents. Financially, he couldn’t unite with his family in the UAE until now.
Asked about his strategy in selecting winning numbers and advice for others, Khan humbly mentioned that he picked numbers randomly and emphasized that one must participate to have a chance of winning.
The Emirates Draw’s FAST5 game, launched about eight weeks ago, offers a quick and affordable route to victory with a single Dh25 ticket. Participants not only compete for the impressive grand prize of Dh25,000 monthly for 25 years but also have a chance to win substantial amounts of Dh75,000, Dh50,000, and Dh25,000 in the raffle draw.
