British expat Len Chapman, who arrived in Dubai in March 1971, recalls momentous occasion
A Palestinian expat just proved how a Mahzooz hack could work wonders — as he won twice his prize in the latest draw.
Adnan, a 36-year-old business owner who has been living in the UAE for the past 20 years, began participating in Mahzooz just six months ago.
When he started joining, he had always bought two Mahzooz water bottles and chose the exact set of numbers for each line.
He didn't expect he would win but, last week, he ended up being one of the Dh1-million prize winners — and since he had two tickets, he won twice his share.
The prize was awarded to 22 people, with 21 others getting Dh43,478 each and Adnan bagging nearly Dh87,000.
“I always buy two water bottles for every draw and this time was no different. What was different this week, is my luck. I will continue to participate in Mahzooz hoping that one day, I will be the winner of Dh10 million,” said the expat.
Adnan is still coming to terms with his big win and has not informed his family members or made any plans, but it has become a topic of discussion among his friends, who have now joined Mahzooz hoping that they would become millionaires.
Double-draw winners are not uncommon, and they occur more frequently than one might think, according to Mahzooz. Adnan is a living proof that luck could be on one’s side twice in the same draw.
