Mahzooz draw showed Indian expat Subramanian that the fifth time’s the lucky charm when he won Dhs100,000 in the Raffle Draw.
The 55-year-old pharmaceutical marketing supervisor from Sharjah had previously won Dhs35 three times and Dhs350 once. Two other Indian nationals residing in Saudi Arabia also won Dhs100,000 each in the guaranteed weekly Raffle Draw.
The prize money, say all three winners, will pave the way for their daughters to pursue their dreams.
Topping Subramanian’s priority list is using his winning amount to fulfil his daughter’s musical goals: “My 15-year-old daughter is a keyboard prodigy who has been handpicked by Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman. This money will help fulfil her ambition of becoming a sound engineer,” explains the five-time Mahzooz winner.
“The fact that I have won with Mahzooz five times proves its credibility and that players can indeed win multiple times to achieve their dreams. But all you have to do is participate regularly,” explains Subramanian.
Ibraheem, a 54-year-old electronics store owner living in Saudi Arabia, is thrilled to be able to support his daughter who’s a medical student. “I can now help her finish medical school thanks to Mahzooz. This money came my way to improve her life and fulfil her ambitions and goals. I consider my daughter my lucky charm," says the doting father.
Subhashchandra, 54, is another Saudi-based Indian national who also struck it rich in the Raffle Draw and plans on using his winnings for his daughter’s future.
“My daughter is getting married next year. This windfall has come just in time to ensure I can throw her a wedding full of pomp and splendour without running into debt,” says the electrician who was introduced to Mahzooz by a friend.
“I’m a Grade 10 dropout who doesn’t speak much English. So, winning such a huge amount with just Dhs35 is life-changing for me,” Subhashchandra explains. The devoted family man also plans to use his winnings for his son’s education and to vacation with his family in the UAE.
The 70th weekly live Mahzooz Grand Draw saw 14 winners share the Dhs1,000,000 second prize, taking home Dhs71,428 each.
The top prize of Dhs10,000,000 is still waiting to be won in the upcoming Grand Draw on 2 April 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.
