Seven each win Dh77,777 and gain entry for Dh77m jackpot
THE GRAND PRIZE OF DH77,777,777 AWAITS WINNERS OF EMIRATES DRAW
Seven people each won Dh77,777 in the first weekly draw — in addition to an entry for a grand prize of Dh77,777,777, the largest such prize in UAE’s history — of Emirates Draw last night.
The draw was streamed live at 7pm UAE time on www. emiratesdraw.com and www. gulfnews.com website and across the company’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
The seven winning numbers — each seven-digits long — were announced during the live-stream. On September 15, Emirates Draw had said it is the first draw “to embed a significant social and environmental component” to its operating model.
The first project will be supporting marine biodiversity through its support of a ‘Coral Reef Programme’ in Fujairah that is expected to plant more than 1.5 million coral reef polyps. This will be followed by other significant environmental and sustainability programmes.
How to participate
For this week’s draw, participants gained entry by purchasing a Dh50 coral polyp online at www.emiratesdraw.com, or across a growing network of authorised Emirates Draw retailers. Upon registering online, participants can select their seven-digit number or have the system choose their number randomly.
Prizes
Once selected, each participant’s number is locked in and no one else can select the same one. With their purchase, consumers are entered into a raffle where every week seven participants are guaranteed Dh77,777 each.
How the draw works
In addition, they will enter a second draw with six prize categories that include a grand prize of Dh77,777,777 when all seven numbers are matched.
Whoever exactly matches all seven digits in perfect sequence from right to left, wins the Dh77,777,777 grand prize.
The number in the first draw on Saturday night, selected randomly by a machine during the live-stream, was 8841218.
The next number will be revealed during the second draw on October 2 during the livestream, which begins at 7pm UAE time.
Matching numbers
The second prize of Dh777,777 is shared between participants that match six out of seven numbers in the exact order.
If you match five numbers out of seven in the exact order again, you will then win Dh77,777.
The prize money of Dh7,777 is for every participant who matches four out of seven numbers in the exact order.
If you match three out of seven numbers in the exact order the prize is then Dh777.
The last prize is Dh77 for everyone who matches two out of seven numbers in the exact order.
