Sundar Marakala, 60-year-old Indian man, is purchasing on his own almost every month

Abu Dhabi: A former Dubai resident, now settled back in India, won Dh1 million in Big Ticket’s weekly e-draw held on Friday. He is the sole winner of this unexpected windfall.

Sundar Marakala, a 60-year-old retired accountant from Karnataka, spent 25 years working in Dubai. Having lived there until 2021, he now enjoys a peaceful retired life in his hometown with his wife and daughter.

During his time in the emirate, he first learned about Big Ticket seven years ago. What began as a group activity with office colleagues soon became a personal tradition, as he started purchasing entries on his own almost every month.

“This is my first time winning, and I couldn’t believe it at first,” he said.

At first, Marakala thought it might be a scam or a prank call.

“I was overwhelmed with happiness and excitement but quickly calmed myself down to ensure it wasn’t a scam. Seeing the UAE number gave me a sense of relief and confirmation.”

Asked about his plans for the cash prize, he expressed a desire to share a portion of his winnings with his sister and her family. However, he hasn’t yet decided what to do with the rest.

Despite his win, Marakala remains committed to participating in Big Ticket draws.

“My advice to other participants is simple – always keep trying. You never know when your luck might strike.”

Customers who purchase tickets enter a chance to win the grand prize of Dh25 million during the February 3 draw and are also eligible for the weekly draws, where they can win Dh1 million every week this month.

Tickets are available online at www.bigticket.ae or at counters located at Zayed International Airport and Al Ain Airport.
