The UAE Lottery is closing one chapter and preparing for another as it announces the final Dh100 million grand prize draw this weekend. Just weeks after the country celebrated its first record-breaking winner, players have one last opportunity to aim for the jackpot before the flagship Lucky Day game undergoes a major revamp.
Last call for the UAE’s biggest jackpot
The lottery organisers confirmed on Tuesday that the Dh100 million prize will be offered for the final time on Saturday, November 29, at 8:30 pm. In a post shared across its social media platforms, the UAE Lottery urged participants to seize the “final chance” to play for the country’s largest-ever jackpot.
Alongside the announcement, organisers hinted at a transformation of the Lucky Day draw set to take place on the same date, describing it as “a new chapter” and encouraging players to stay tuned for updates. While the exact nature of the revamp, whether a rebrand, new format, or additional offerings, has not been disclosed, it signals an evolution of the popular game.
Tickets for the final draw can be purchased online at the official UAE Lottery website, theuaelottery.ae.
The first Dh100 million winner
The excitement surrounding the last grand prize comes just weeks after Anilkumar Bolla, a 29-year-old IT professional from Abu Dhabi, became the UAE Lottery’s first Dh100 million winner on October 18. Originally from Telangana in southern India, Mr Bolla shared that he plans to invest in his future and that of his family, while also using his winnings to help those in need.
Despite his careful financial plans, he also revealed personal indulgences. He intends to buy a sports car and celebrate with a luxury holiday, saying, “I have a dream to buy a supercar and, for sure, I want to fulfil my dream first. I also want to celebrate this moment in a great resort or 7-star hotel and just enjoy this vibe for some time. Then I need to start planning this investment.”
How the Lucky Day lottery works
The UAE Lottery is the country’s first authorised national lottery, holding its inaugural draw on December 14 last year with a Dh100 million prize. Tickets are priced at Dh50 and are available on the UAE Lottery website. Each draw is broadcast live on the operator’s YouTube channel.
The Lucky Day format follows a calendar-style system. Players select six numbers from 31 in the “Day” section and one number from 12 in the “Month” section of the online draw card. Participants must register on the official website to play.
Prizes vary based on how many numbers are matched. Those who correctly pick all seven numbers win the grand prize, while matching all six Day numbers earns Dh1 million. Smaller cash prizes range from Dh100 up to Dh100 million.
Looking ahead
With the final Dh100 million draw set for this November 29, the UAE Lottery is closing a historic chapter in excitement. Participants have a last opportunity to chase the record breaking jackpot before Lucky Day enters a new and thrilling phase. Organisers have promised updates on the revamped game, urging all players to mark their calendars and stay fully informed.
