UAE resident scores Dh100,000 lottery win, shares unusual techniques he utilized in picking numbers

A UAE national named Abdalla Ali Gharib is celebrating after winning Dh100,000 from the UAE Lottery. After approximately five months of participation, the lucky winner struck gold with a bet of Dh50 or Dh100 twice a week.

In an interview, Abdalla shared his excitement about the win and revealed his plans to upgrade his car with the prize money. He expressed optimism about his chances of winning again, and even harbours dreams of claiming the UAE Lottery's grand prize of Dh100million in the future.

Abdalla's story is unique, as he used a combination of three different methods to select the numbers for his three tickets. One of the tickets was a quick pick with random numbers, while for another, he picked numbers based on the date and time he saw when he opened his phone. The third ticket had numbers chosen to represent his family. However, he did not specify which of the three methods led to his win in the previous draw.

Despite the mystery surrounding the winning ticket, Abdalla's best friend was genuinely happy for him. The friend, who was not named, expressed support for Abdalla's decision to use the winnings to upgrade his car and buy a better model.

Abdalla is a supporter of The UAE Lottery, the first licensed lottery in the region. He encourages others to try their luck, believing that the lottery is more than just a game of chance. He also shared his experience of checking the draw results online and being stunned to see the word "Congratulations!" alongside his name.

The winning ticket had all the numbers correct except for one, but that didn't diminish the joy Abdalla felt upon learning of his win. His unique combination of methods, including the use of his phone lock screen, adds a quirky twist to his story, making it all the more inspiring for other players.
