Four expatriates \u2014 three from India and one from Bangladesh \u2014 have moved a step closer to a life-changing moment after each won Dh25,000 in Big Ticket Abu Dhabi\u2019s second weekly e-draw of July. Their wins have also kept their hopes alive for the upcoming Dh20 million grand prize, which will be revealed during the live draw on August 3.<\/p>

The winners shared their excitement after receiving the news and said they would continue trying their luck in future draws. One winner encouraged participants to stay positive, saying that patience and hope can eventually bring success. Another added that everyone has a chance to win if they continue participating with confidence.<\/p>

Among the winners was Kerala native T.A. Mohammed Riyas, 57, who works in the cyber market industry and has been based in Oman for the past decade. He first learned about Big Ticket through advertisements and social media. Riyas has been entering the monthly raffle for over 10 years along with a group of friends.<\/p>

Speaking about his win, Riyas said the group never used any special method to select their ticket numbers, which made the unexpected victory even more special. He plans to keep his share of the prize money as savings.<\/p>

Another Indian winner, Shibin Ramachandran from Kerala, also celebrated his first Big Ticket success. The 48-year-old sales professional has been living in the UAE for nearly seven years and has regularly participated in the draw after being introduced to it by his colleagues.<\/p>

Shibin usually bought tickets together with a group of three to five friends, and on this occasion, he was the one who selected the winning numbers. He described his reaction as one of complete surprise and said he initially struggled to believe the news. To confirm the result, he watched the Big Ticket livestream immediately. Like Riyas, Shibin intends to save his winnings for the future.<\/p>

The third Indian winner, Jojo Thundiyathu Yohannan, is a 38-year-old finance manager from Kerala who has been living in Bahrain for more than 10 years. After participating in Big Ticket for two years with his friends, Jojo finally secured a win.<\/p>

His group is now eagerly waiting for the August 3 draw, hoping they could receive another exciting announcement \u2014 this time as the grand prize winners. Jojo said he wants to use his winnings to support children\u2019s education and help create better opportunities for them.<\/p>

The fourth winner, Bangladeshi expatriate Foyaz Ahmed Rani, who resides in the UAE, was filled with happiness after discovering that his online ticket had won Dh25,000. His ticket number, 289-121123, became the lucky entry that brought him the prize.<\/p>

All four winners remain hopeful and excited as they continue their journey toward the possibility of winning the Dh20 million jackpot in the upcoming Big Ticket grand draw.<\/p>
