While working as a driver in UAE, Mohammed, a 56-year-old expat, heard about Big Ticket from his friends. As a group, they have been buying tickets every month.
"We are a group of 19 people. We have been buying Big Ticket every month for a year now. This is the third time that I bought a ticket under my name."
Mohammed purchased tickets during the special promotion and won the big prize.
"We bought 4 tickets with the special offer 'buy 2, get 2 free' offer. I selected 2 tickets, and my friends selected the other two. I chose the winning ticket. I am happy about our winning."
