UAE Lottery: Eleven win Dh100,000 each; but who will claim the Dh100m jackpot?
Next draw set for January 11 with even bigger hopes ahead
Saturday night brought excitement to thousands as the UAE Lottery announced its latest winners during the second live draw.
Held at 8:30 PM, the event concluded with 12,329 winners, but the life-changing Dh100 million grand prize remained elusive yet again.
Dh100,000 prize winners
Eleven lucky residents took home Dh100,000 prizes in the second draw.
Seven winners were selected through the Lucky IDs, while four secured their prizes by matching specific numbers in the Days and Months sets.
The winning IDs for the guaranteed Dh100,000 prizes were: BY4934604, AP1493831, CP6663669, BG3155379, CH5875638, CJ6088574, BF3045346.
Dh100 million jackpot
For the Dh100 million jackpot, participants needed to match the exact sequence of the winning combination: 20, 11, 8, 17, 27, 23, and 8. Unfortunately, no ticket managed to match all the numbers.
Similarly, the Dh1 million second prize remained unclaimed, which required matching the first six numbers accurately.
While the grand and second prizes went unclaimed, smaller prizes brought cheer to thousands. The fourth prize of Dh1,000 was awarded to 183 participants. Meanwhile, over 12,000 winners received Dh100 each, spreading joy across the UAE.

Inaugural draw: The first-ever UAE Lottery draw, held on December 14, also saw the Dh100 million jackpot go unclaimed. However, over 29,000 participants won smaller prizes.
Last week, Mirza Omair Baig made history as the first recipient of the Dh100,000 prize from the inaugural draw held. As the first winner of the Golden 7 scratch card, Baig received widespread attention, becoming the first "Winner Spotlight" featured on the official UAE Lottery social media pages. His story captured the imagination of the public, adding fuel to the growing excitement surrounding the lottery.
Earlier this week, the UAE Lottery announced its second Dh100,100 winner, Shibin Alathamkunnel Vijayan, whose winnings turned a dream into reality as he announced plans to go skydiving.
Another participant, Shiju Thacheth Yohannan, won Dh50,000 with an Oasis Bonanza scratch card, calling it a “gift for his wife.”
Next draw: The excitement continues to build for the upcoming draw on January 11, 2025. Tickets are available starting from Dh5, offering participants another chance at the Dh100 million jackpot. Additional opportunities include Lucky Day and Lucky Chance draws, as well as scratch card prizes worth up to Dh1 million.
