The post adds: “Stay tuned; the reveal is coming soon.”

The life-changing call went to the winner, identified only as Anilkum** B**. He struck gold after matching all seven numbers in the October 18 draw — beating odds of more than 1 in 8.8 million.

Organisers confirmed that the Dh100 million prize marks a historic milestone for the UAE Lottery, which has already turned four residents into overnight millionaires since its launch.

For now, Anilkum** B’s identity remains partially concealed as verification continues.
