Indian expat wins INR 20 lakhs in weekly Mahzooz Draw

Indian expat wins INR 20 lakhs in weekly Mahzooz Draw

Dubai, UAE: The 59th weekly live Mahzooz draw restored hope in the hearts of three lucky winners after they won AED 100,000 (approx. INR 20,18,000) each in the Raffle Draw. Mahzooz, the GCC’s first weekly live draw, is open to participants from anywhere in the world.

First-time participant Anckur, 39, is thrilled that his winnings will fast-track him towards a lifestyle he’s always aspired to. “I participated on an impulse after reading stories of Mahzooz winners in the newspapers,” says the Dubai-based F&B entrepreneur from India.

“Dubai is a place where you can always do better, even if you make a decent living; we have no concrete plans, but my wife and I have a few ambitions of what we want the second half of our lives to look like,” he explains.

However, Anckur is certain that he will continue participating in Mahzooz and encourages budding entrepreneurs to do the same: “I’m no longer a struggling entrepreneur but the momentum that capital of INR 20 lakhs can give a business would have meant the world when I was starting out.”

He also commends Mahzooz’s affordability: “The price point is really innovative and noble – Mahzooz’s accessibility has allowed so many blue-collar and service industry workers transform their fortunes and become millionaires. It’s so inspiring to see these stories of hope.”

Jashim, a Bangladeshi personal chauffer from Al Ain agrees. “I’ve only been participating for four months, and I won the Grand Draw’s third prize of AED 350 (approx. INR 7,000) too,” says the 37-year-old. Jashim first plans to use his winning amount to improve his family’s life back home. He then intends to use the remaining amount to help friends with lower incomes. “Mahzooz gave me a lifeline, and it’s my job to spread that goodness and hope,” he concludes.

Filipino national Mary calls her prize money the “rainbow after the rain.” The 41-year-old real estate in-charge from Dubai was grieving her grandmother’s death when her friend called her with the good news of her win. “The results came on my grandmother's funeral day, so I was just sitting in my room upset that I wasn’t at her burial in the Philippines,” says Mary of the bittersweet moment.

“I’ve lost many loved ones through 2021 and entered 2022 feeling numb. With this win, I feel hopeful and more positive about the year ahead. That’s the greatest gift Mahzooz has given me – hope,” she explains.

Besides being a ray of hope, Mary’s Mahzooz win will also help her accomplish her goals of donating to the needy, setting up savings for her two-year-old daughter, and building a house in the Philippines. “The pandemic put the brakes on that dream, but this prize money is a blessing – we won’t have to dip as much into our hard-earned savings to push forward with our dream home,” concludes Mary.

The 59th weekly live Mahzooz draw also saw 21 winners share the Grand Draw’s AED 1,000,000 (approx. INR 2 crores) second prize, taking home AED 47,619  (approx. INR 9,60,000) each. The top prize of AED 10,000,000 (approx. INR 20 crores) is still up for grabs in the upcoming Grand Draw on 15 January 2022 at 10:30pm IST. Entrants can participate in the draw by registering via www.mahzooz.ae and purchasing a bottle of water for AED 35 (approx. INR 700). Mahzooz is inclusive to all who are eligible.
