History was made on Saturday night as one lucky UAE resident matched all seven numbers in the UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw, taking home a jaw-dropping Dh100 million, the largest-ever lottery prize in the nation’s history.

The UAE Lottery confirmed the win on social media shortly after Draw #251018, saying: “Dh100 million Grand Prize has been won! Tonight’s Lucky Day Draw crowned our very first Dh100 million winner.”

The identity of the winner has not yet been revealed, but what’s certain is that their life has just changed forever.

The Game: Lucky Day Draw

The winning ticket came from the biweekly Lucky Day draw, which is held every other Saturday at 8:30pm. Participants can enter for as little as Dh50, and only a ticket matching all seven numbers (six from the “Days” set and one from the “Months” set) takes home the jackpot.

The winning combination this time?
7, 10, 11, 18, 25, 29 (Days’ set) and 11 (Months’ set).

In addition to the grand prize, seven other players won Dh100,000 each in the Lucky Chance ID category, while three players took home Dh100,000 each for matching five numbers.

Next Steps for the Winner

The UAE Lottery confirmed that compliance and security checks will now take place before officially announcing the winner’s identity. Prizes exceeding Dh100,000 must be claimed in person, and payouts for large prizes are made within 30 days after validation.

Only UAE residents aged 18 and above are eligible to play, so the mystery millionaire is definitely one of us.
