Nepalese wins record second grand prize of Dhs30m in UAE Lottery's lucky draw

The UAE Lucky Day draw has done it again with its second historic Grand Prize win, as Dhs30 million is awarded and the record books are updated once more following the Dhs100 million milestone in October 2025.

Abu Dhabi-base Nepalese resident, Tayab Khan, has become the newest multi-millionaire after selecting seven lucky picks that matched the full set of winning numbers, quickly transforming his future in a single unforgettable draw.

This extraordinary win adds to the winning streak of Wednesday draws, which also saw its second Dhs5 million winner announced on April 29, 2026 — further cementing Wednesdays as a night where unforgettable moments happen more than once.

Speaking on the win, Tayab shared his disbelief and gratitude: “I’m feeling absolutely amazing, like I’m in the sky. I selected the numbers randomly and wasn’t even watching the draw. When I found out through my email later, it was a fantastic feeling.”

A spokesperson for The UAE Lottery added: “This represents an important moment for the Lucky Day draw, as it delivers its second Grand Prize winner since the Dhs100 million jackpot, following two Dhs5 million winners. Our twice-weekly draws reflect our continued commitment to giving back to the community through meaningful prize opportunities. We congratulate the winner and remain focused on maintaining a secure and transparent experience for all participants.”

Lucky Day Draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 9:30pm, offering players the chance to win the Dhs30 million Grand Prize, the Dhs5 million second prize, and three guaranteed Dhs50,000 Lucky Chance prizes in each draw — with the same prizes available in every new draw.

The UAE Lottery remains committed to responsible gaming, ensuring a safe, transparent, and regulated experience for all participants. All games are fully regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority.
