Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

Mahzooz draw brought three expats closer to their financial goals after they each won Dhs100,000 in the Raffle Draw.

Filipina national Rhea, 39, from Dubai, was shaking with excitement when she saw the email confirming her win after a colleague had broken the good news to her. “I jumped, cried, laughed, I was so happy I didn’t know what to do,” says the real estate administrator.

Rhea participated on her daughter’s birthday believing it would bring her luck: “This winning amount will help me save for my daughter’s future and cover the payments for the house I’m building back home in the Philippines.”

The mother-of-one is grateful for the financial stress the prize money will erase from her life: “This money has come at just the right time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget,” she adds.

Indian national Uttam, who struck big in his third time participating in Mahzooz, also intends to use his prize money for his daughter's education and to clear liabilities. “Winning with Mahzooz is such a great opportunity for single-income families like mine and it’s so affordable. Even a blue-collared worker can afford to participate,” explains the 38-year-old customer service executive.

Uttam insists he’ll continue participating in Mahzooz: “I’ve always won something with Mahzooz; I won Dhs350 the second time I participated and now Dhs100,000 in my third try. My fourth try might bring me the Dhs10,000,000 Top Prize!

“I will now get my wife to open a Mahzooz account and participate too.”

Filipino national Tancredo, however, plans on gifting his wife jewellery with his Mahzooz prize money. “Besides gifting my wife, I will also use this money to help my brother and sister set up a bakery in the Philippines,” says the 61-year-old mechanical engineer.

“Mahzooz has not just solved my monetary problems, but my family’s too. I’m truly grateful for such a platform,” Tancredo concludes.

The 67^th weekly live Mahzooz Grand Draw saw 18 winners share the Dhs1,000,000 second prize, taking home Dhs55,555 each.

The top prize of Dhs10,000,000 is still up for grabs in the upcoming Grand Draw on 12 March 2022 at 9:00pm UAE time. Entrants can participate in the draw by registering via www.mahzooz.ae and purchasing a bottle of water for Dhs35. Mahzooz is inclusive to all who are eligible.
