Patience and perseverance have finally paid off for Ashik Patinharath, a security guard from Kerala who has called Sharjah home for 19 years. After purchasing Big Ticket entries for a decade, his long-standing hope turned into reality as he clinched the Dh25 million grand prize in the latest draw.
The 38-year-old has spent years trying his luck solo while his family remains in India. Speaking about his life-changing win, he said:
“I am still in shock—my heart dropped when I got the call. I wasn’t watching the live draw, so it was a massive surprise! After 10 years of trying, I have finally won the grand prize.”
With humble beginnings, Ashik’s first priority is ensuring a secure future for his family. But despite his win, he isn’t giving up on Big Ticket. “I’ll continue buying tickets, and I’ll give others the straightforward advice to buy one every month—your lucky day will arrive!”
Emirati IT Manager Drives Away in a BMW M440i
While Ashik’s decade-long wait paid off, luck worked much faster for Mohamed AlZarooni, a 39-year-old Emirati IT Manager, who won a BMW M440i after just five months of trying.
“When I got the call, I was ecstatic! As for the car, I’m still undecided—I might keep it, or I might sell it. But this win has only motivated me to aim higher. Now, I’m setting my sights on the grand prize!”
Despite his win, Mohamed’s friends remain skeptical about trying their luck. “They always say they won’t win, so they don’t buy tickets. But I tell them—if you don’t try, you’ll never know!”
