Indian expats won big this week in the UAE, with the first one getting Dh20 million in prize money while the other won Dh1 million at the latest Mahzooz Draw in Dubai, reported Gulf News. Feeling absolutely thrilled and happy after winning the big prizes, both winners have also urged others to try their luck at the draw. The first winner is Sachin, who originally comes from the city of Mumbai and is currently working as a CAD technician for a private company.

47-year-old Sachin has been living in Dubai for the last 25 years. He attributed his recent win to a cat he recently brought home. «It was perhaps his little kitten that brought him all the luck.

In the morning, I brought home our little kitten. In the evening, I won Dh20 million. We are super excited in the family,» Sachin told Gulf News during a press conference on Wednesday.

Sachin said a part of his win will go to the education of his three children. «The rest we are yet to decide. The news is yet to fully sink in with us,» he said.

«On Sunday morning, when I woke up, I saw an email about my big win. At first I did not believe it. I checked my Mahzooz number and then I realised I had actually won.

I informed my wife immediately.» He said he is yet to inform his extended relatives and friends about the win. «I have been participating in Mahzooz Draw every week, hoping for a big win one day. This victory is a life-changer for my family and me.

Not sure what role my kitten has played in this win, but I know it brought me luck,» said Sachin. On the other hand, 27-year-old Gowtham, who won the Dh1 million, told Gulf News that he was so pleasantly surprised to hear the news of his win. He is a project manager and has been a resident of the UAE for about five years.
