Overview
- Sunil Kumar Sadasivan, a 52-year-old Indian resident of Abu Dhabi, matched all seven Lucky Day numbers on July 1 and was publicly identified by organisers in early July as the Dh30 million winner.
- This is the second Dh30 million grand prize awarded since the Lucky Day format was introduced, following a Dh30 million split by Nepalese security guard Tayab Khan and friends in late May and the earlier Dh100 million win in October 2025.
- Lucky Day uses a calendar-style ticket where players pick six day numbers from 1–31 and one month number from 12, tickets cost Dh50, draws take place Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:30 pm, and each draw offers a Dh30 million top prize, a Dh5 million second prize and three Dh50,000 Lucky Chance prizes.
- The UAE Lottery is operated by The Game LLC and regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, and organisers require online registration for UAE residents aged 18 or older while emphasising responsible gaming and that each draw starts with a clean slate.
- The rapid sequence of multi‑million payouts since the prize restructure and added draws has drawn public attention and could boost participation, so regulators and organisers may face pressure to monitor prize levels and player protection as the scheme continues.
