Cash prizes worth Dh35 million are up for grabs in weekly raffles, with a digital "collectables" scheme rolled out in the UAE. Said to be the region's first "fatwa-approved", the first raffle draw will take place on April 18 at 7.30pm and will be streamed live.
Emirates Loto offers 'collectables' - cards of prominent UAE landmarks - that can be purchased online or through the app for Dh35.

If all six numbers match, the buyer can win a share in a minimum cash jackpot of D35 million, which will be divided equally among all winners.

Paul Sebestyen, chief executive officer of the company, said: "The UAE, with its spirit and drive for innovation and
