A complete guide to playing and claiming your exciting prizes
The UAE Lottery, a new entrant in the world of gaming, has quickly captured the nation’s imagination with its promise of life-changing prizes.
Operated by The Game LLC and regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), it’s the first government-approved lottery in the UAE offering an incredible jackpot of Dh100 million.
Launched only weeks ago, the UAE Lottery aims to provide a safe, fair, and transparent gaming experience while offering participants multiple opportunities to win big. Beyond the jackpot, the lottery boasts several tiers of prizes to cater to all types of players.
At its core, the UAE Lottery is about simplicity and accessibility. Participants can join by creating an account, selecting numbers, and purchasing tickets for as little as Dh50. From seasoned lottery players to first-time participants, the excitement is palpable as the inaugural draw approaches.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s live draw, the process to claim prizes, and more.
Dh100m jackpot and other prizes
The UAE Lottery’s Dh100 million jackpot is undoubtedly its star attraction, but there are multiple prize levels to ensure many participants walk away winners:
