Consistently selecting birthday dates as numbers ultimately resulted in a winning ticket for the family.
Dubai: A Dubai-based Indian expatriate has won Dh25,000 in Big Ticket’s second weekly e-draw for June, after a personal tradition of choosing family birthday dates brought him luck.
A long-time Dubai resident, Menezes has lived in the emirate with his family since 1998 and currently works at Dubai Islamic Bank.
Birthday number brings luck: Menezes first learned about Big Ticket through social media and began participating three years ago, regularly purchasing tickets since then.
- The winning number this time turned out to be 12, matching his date of birth.
Winning call
- Menezes said he had a feeling about the reason for the call when Big Ticket host Richard contacted him with the news.
Prize plans
- The Dh25,000 prize arrived “at just the right time” for Menezes and his family. He plans to use the money for a family holiday scheduled in August, helping cover travel costs and making the trip more memorable.
Stay positive
- Reflecting on his win, Menezes encouraged others not to lose hope.
