Mahzooz celebrates crowning 52nd Dirham millionaire

Mahzooz has announced an Indian expat has become the 52nd Dirham millionaire in its weekly raffle.

The prize draw named lucky Indian expat, Aijaz, as the winner of last week’s guaranteed raffle draw prize of AED1m ($272,000).

Aijaz, a 49-year-old UAE resident is the head of a distribution department at a private company and has been participating in Mahzooz since its launch in November 2020.

Father of three Aijaz said: “Quite frankly, I was shocked. In order to comprehend the email, I had to read it two to three times.

“I also checked my Mahzooz account to see what my credit amount was. The next day, I received a call from Mahzooz, which confirmed my big win”.

The Indian expat said he intends to use his winnings to fund his daughter’s higher education as well as his aunt’s cancer treatment and therapy for his mother-in-law, who is in a coma at an Indian hospital.

On Saturday, July 15, an entirely new batch of 1,402 winners were awarded a total of AED540,000 in prize money.

While the top prize of AED20m ($5.4m) went unclaimed this week, 42 participants matched four of the following five numbers: 3, 7, 22, 30, 31, and shared the second prize of AED200,000, earning AED4,762 each.

1,360 other winners matched three out of five numbers and got AED250 each.

For AED 35, participants can purchase a bottle of Mahzooz water, and enter the weekly draw every Saturday consisting of the Grand Draw, for a chance to win the new top prize of AED20m ($5.4m) and the new weekly Raffle Draw, which will grant AED1m ($272,000) every week to a guaranteed millionaire-to-be.

Mahzooz means “lucky” in Arabic.
