Overview
- The group's ticket matched The UAE Lottery Lucky Day numbers on May 27, and the Dh30 million jackpot will be split equally so each of the five syndicate members receives Dh6 million.
- Winner Tayab Khan learned of the result from an email notification, initially thought it was a small prize, then logged into his account to confirm the Dh30 million award.
- Khan and four close friends began pooling money to buy tickets in early 2024 and had won minor prizes before their shared entry secured the grand prize.
- Khan says he will leave his security job, use his Dh6 million share to build a home in Nepal, explore entrepreneurship and property investment in the UAE, and make modest personal purchases such as a Mahindra Thar and a Rolex.
- The win comes after the UAE Lottery’s December format change set the top prize at Dh30 million and moved draws to a weekly schedule, and it follows an earlier Dh100 million grand prize won in October 2025.
