Nestor, 42, from the Philippines; Moamen, 39, from UK; and Irfan, 35, from Pakistan, won Dh333,333 each after matching five out of the six winning numbers (10, 21, 31, 35, 37 and 46) to win the Dh1 million second-tier prize. Additionally, 133 winners took home Dh1,000 each, while Dh35 went to 2,692 winners. The total prize money won in the latest draw was Dh1,227,220.
Netsor who works as a senior engineer in Dubai, said: “I was struggling to meet the educational expenses of my son with my current salary but now, the future is brighter and better because of the prize money.”
Moamen, who works as an operations manager in Dubai, added: “With this money, I will secure our future, and I will definitely share some of my winnings with the needy.”
Overwhelmed with joy
Irfan, who works as a PRO in Dubai, has also planned on saving the winnings for his kids’ education. “I feel blessed and overwhelmed with joy. I was shocked to see my 3-yearold and 6-month-old children cheering with me and my wife when we got the amazing news from Mahzooz. Although they are too young to understand what it means to win Dh333,333, I think they sensed that something great has happened,” he said.
