Dubai: Three winners have been announced in the 158th weekly draws held by Mahzooz on Saturday.
Each winner took home Dh100,000 as part of the guaranteed triple 100 raffle draw. The winners hail from Lebanon, Ethiopia and Pakistan.
Omar, a 29-year-old from Lebanon, currently resides in Saudi Arabia with his family. Employed in the sales department at a multinational company, he discovered Mahzooz through a friend from Dubai who visited him just last week. Joining Mahzooz only on December1, Omar’s winning streak began immediately on the first draw after registration, when he won Dh40. Using the prize money to purchase an additional line, Omar’s struck luck again when he won Dh100,000, just a week after, in the 158th draws. He plans to use the prize money to travel with his family.
Ajman-based Ethiopian expat Melkamu is 31, and he has been living in the UAE for the past six years. Working as a private driver, Melkamu discovered his win while watching the draw live on YouTube on Saturday evening. Regularly participating for two years, Melkamu has won smaller amounts before, but this is the first time he has won a substantial amount. With dreams of purchasing a house for his family, a car, and starting a business in Ethiopia, Melkamu is excited about the opportunities his winnings will provide.
Aamir, 47, originally from Pakistan, has been residing in Abu Dhabi for 17 years, working as a security and support service manager. Married with three boys, Aamir discovered his win through an email and initially doubted the amount, thinking there was a decimal point error. Unable to keep the news to himself, Aamir called his brother at 1am. Worried to have received a call this late, the brother was ecstatic and immediately called home to inform the family. Aamir plans to utilise his winnings for his children’s education.
