Abu Dhabi nurse wins Dhs20m in Big Ticket, plans to donate a portion to charity

At the Series 252 Big Ticket Live draw, Lovesy Mole Achamma was named the lucky winner who took home the Dhs20 million grand prize.

A registered nurse at a hospital in Abu Dhabi, the Indian national has been a resident of the UAE for the past 21 years and resides in the capital with her family.

Her two children are currently in university in India. In fact, at the time of her win, Lovesy’s husband was back home enrolling their daughter, who is set to begin her studies this year.

Though her husband used to purchase Big Ticket cash prize tickets every month, Lovesy says she only buys her tickets at the in-store counter at Abu Dhabi International Airport when travelling.

She will be splitting the prize money with her brother-in-law and plans to donate a portion of her winnings to charity. A separate sum, she says, will be spent on her children’s higher education.

During the month of June, one lucky individual will be named the grand prize winner and walk away with Dhs15 million during the live draw on 3rd July, while seven others will also take home guaranteed cash prizes.

A second prize amount of Dhs100,000 will be announced, as well as a third prize amount of Dhs70,000, fourth prize of Dhs60,000, fifth prize of Dhs50,000, sixth prize of Dhs 30,000, seventh prize of Dhs20,000 and eighth prize of Dhs20,000.

Moreover, customers of Big Ticket will automatically participate in a weekly electronic draw for a chance to be one of three winners to walk away with Dhs100,000 or one of 20 winners to take home Dhs 10,000 every week, bringing the total number of winners for the month of June to 100.
