## Lucky Birthday Number

A Kerala expatriate in the UAE, Linto Jos Mechery, has won Dh25,000 in the Big Ticket's third weekly e-draw for July. The winning ticket number was inspired by a friend's birthday, marking Mechery's first win after years of participation.

## Group Effort

Mechery, a 56-year-old sales manager, has been buying tickets monthly with a group of ten friends. The choice of a number starting with 23, a friend's birth date, proved to be the lucky pick. The prize will be shared among all group members.

## Future Plans

Despite this win, Mechery plans to continue participating in future draws, believing in the potential for dreams to come true. He encourages others to keep trying, confident that persistence will eventually lead to success.

## Upcoming Draw

The Big Ticket's July campaign will conclude with a live draw on August 3, offering a Dh20 million grand prize. Additionally, five participants will win Dh100,000 each as consolation prizes.
