UAE: Indian engineer, Syrian expat win Dh100,000 each in latest Mahzooz draw

A Dubai-based Syrian expat and a railway engineer from New Delhi, India won Dh100,000 each in the latest Mahzooz draw that was held on Saturday, October 15.

The weekly draw saw 2,022 participants take home a total prize money of Dh1,999,650, while 20 winners shared the 2nd prize of Dh1 million.

Taleen, 24, who came to Dubai less than a year ago, works as a real estate agent. “This is my first time to participate in the Mahzooz draw. I bought 3 bottles of water and received 3 additional tickets due to the current offer," said Taleen.

She said she intends to invest in a professional camera to create YouTube content.

India-based Arun, the second winner, is a loyal Mahzooz participant. The 34-year-old father of one, has tried his luck in the draw for about 50 times. He tunes in to the live streaming on his mobile, but this Saturday, he was unable to watch it. But when he checked the broadcast of the draw the next day on YouTube, he was utterly surprised to find out that he was among the winners.

Arun plans to use the prize money to support his brother in his music career.

“My brother is a promising singer, and he writes and produces his own music, and I would love to help him further his career,” he said.

He also plans to use some of the money on his house and also invest in this 3-year-old son's education.

Mahzooz’s limited offer is still ongoing. Participants can get a complementary entry upon purchasing a bottle of water for only Dh35, enabling them to double their chances of winning.
