Dubai: Ananth Perumalsamy, a 33-year-old Indian expat in Dubai won Dh1 million in the UAE Lottery. Ananth originally from Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu, works as an accountant at a private company and has been living in Dubai since 2017.He purchased the winning ticket with his 12 friends.
‘When I first heard about the UAE Lottery in November last year, I was at work. A colleague mentioned that a new lottery was launching in the UAE. It sounded interesting, and we decided to pool in money and buy a ticket. Buying a ticket alone every time would go over our budget. So we decided to pool in Dh8 each every fortnight to buy two tickets. Each ticket costs Dh50. That means I only spend Dh16 a month, which is like giving up 12 to 16 cups of tea,’ Ananth said.
