UAE: Indian mum of 2 becomes millionaire overnight in Mahzooz draw

Indian expat Rinza, a 41-year-old mother of two, couldn't believe her luck when the Mahzooz team called her, saying she had won Dh1 million.

"I was shocked and spellbound when I was checking my Mahzooz account while speaking with the Mahzooz team on the phone," she said.

Rinza, who is originally from India, has been living in Qatar with her husband and two children for the past 18 years, where she works as a coordinator for a pipeline supply service.

The Qatar resident is the second female recipient and the fifth millionaire to win the guaranteed raffle prize of Dh1 million under the new prize structure. The new game structure went into effect a month ago, and Mahzooz now guarantees a millionaire every week.

Rinza recently flew into the country to claim her prize at the raffle draw's studio. When the windfall finally sank in, the first thing the come to her mind was her children's education.

She said she has won the money at an ideal time because her eldest daughter is preparing to attend university, thus the / money would be put to good use.
