UAE Lottery Highlights Lucky Chance Wins for Colombian and Lebanese Players

The UAE Lottery has shared the stories of two recent winners in its Lucky Chance ID game, each collecting a prize of AED 100,000, as the operator promotes its upcoming draw scheduled for 19 April 2025.

Cristian Buitrago, a Colombian national who has lived and worked in the UAE since 2013, said he initially struggled to convince his wife that he had won AED 100,000 rather than AED 100. He plans to put the winnings towards his eldest daughter’s education and said he now hopes to win the lottery’s grand prize.

Nadim Mohanna, from Lebanon, said he first learned about The UAE Lottery through a mobile notification from Botim. He said he was cautious at first but decided to participate after concluding that the lottery was a legitimate and secure operation. Mohanna said he intends to keep buying tickets in pursuit of the AED 100 million top prize.

Responsible gaming focus

Alongside promoting the wins, The UAE Lottery reiterated its commitment to responsible gaming, saying it provides tools and resources intended to support informed decision-making among players.

The operator is encouraging players to stay updated via its official channels ahead of the next draw on 19 April 2025. Tickets can be purchased through the lottery’s website.
