February seems to be a lucky month for women, and even more special for Leena Jelal. This the first time a Big Ticket was purchased in her name and her ticket, which she bought with 14 friends, bagged the Dh22 million grand prize.
Jelal, a HR professional from Trichur in Kerala, couldn’t believe it when she got call from Big Ticket host, Richard.
“I thought my friends were playing a prank on me,” said Leena, who bought the winning ticket on January 27.
“The winning amount will be shared between all of us. It will take some time for the news to sink in. My colleagues are way more excited and happier than me,” said Jelal, who works for a construction firm in Abu Dhabi.
“This is the first time the ticket was purchased in my name. I guess, I'm the lucky one in the group,” said added.
