Emirates Draw: Family and new beginnings unite Emirati and expat winners

The recent Emirates Draw games saw the hearts of the 10,559 winners' race as they shared a total of Dh690,342 in cash prizes.

Among the celebrated winners is Khalid Ali Jaffar Hassan, a dedicated Emirati operational manager and family man who won Dh25,000 in the FAST5 Raffle. From helping a family cope after a devastating typhoon to celebrating the birth of a baby girl, Emirates Draw is changing lives. Winners like Filipino expat Seferino JR Cabrera Pestano, who used his win to uplift his family post a tragic typhoon, and Nour Mohammad Ahmad Al Hadid, a Jordanian expat recently blessed with a daughter, highlight the transformative power of such wins. Also celebrating is Talal Tariq Khalil, a Pakistani expat who won Dh10,000 in the MEGA7 Raffle.

Investing in the future

For over 30 years, Jaffar Hassan, who works as an Operational Manager, has been a cornerstone for his family. Motivated by the Coral Restoration Initiative led by Emirates Draw, his Dh25,000 win with FAST5 will be used to clear debts and invest wisely. Khalid emphasizes, "I'm aiming for the MEGA7 Dh100 million grand prize. If I win, my aspiration is not to spend on luxury but to safeguard my six children's future and support noble causes. Everyone should try Emirates Draw and grab the opportunity for a life-changing win."

From Despair to Hope

A testament to this transformative journey is Pestano, who holds familial bonds in high regard. Working as a security guard in the UAE, Seferino's wife and six-year-old daughter reside in the Philippines, and he dreams to bring them to the UAE for a better life. The Dh25,000 win in the EASY6 draw was a true blessing after his parents had suffered significant losses due to a typhoon in the Philippines. Sharing the news of his win with them changed their tears of sorrow into tears of joy.

"Every Dirham brings me closer to giving my daughter the best education and rebuilding my parents' lives," he says.

A blessed win

Meanwhile, the depth of a parent's love knows no limits. On this note, comes the story of Al Hadid, who got inspired by her newborn daughter to participate with EASY6.

"I believe, my daughter's birth date numbers were the reason behind my Dh25,000 win. I'm looking forward to a family vacation and hopefully, the Grand Prize in upcoming draws," she shared.

Building dreams brick by brick

Lastly, Talal Tariq Khalil, an ambitious Motion Designer, sees his MEGA7 Raffle win of Dh10,000 as the cornerstone for his parents' dream home.

Grateful for their unwavering support, he reflects, "I dream of a home for my parents. This Dh10,000 win in the MEGA7 Raffle is the first brick. I want to save Dh10,000 for a rainy day, and I will keep playing for the Dh100 million grand prize. With Emirates Draw, I believe that dream will soon be a reality."

Family, hope, and dreaming big are the common threads among Emirates Draw winners. It's clear that Emirates Draw is more than a game of prizes, but a beacon of hope with a commitment to transforming lives and creating a better tomorrow.
