A Dubai-based Bangladeshi expatriate has won an extraordinary Dh20 million jackpot in the recent Abu Dhabi Big Ticket draw, dramatically changing his life and those of his 14 friends who jointly purchased the winning ticket.
Jahangir Alom, who holds ticket number 134468 purchased on February 11, emerged as the grand prize winner during the draw held on Monday, March 3, 2025.
Life-Changing Fortune Shared Among Friends
The 44-year-old shipbuilding industry worker has called Dubai home for six years while his family remains in Bangladesh. His persistence in participating in the Big Ticket draw over the past three years finally paid off in spectacular fashion.
What makes this story particularly remarkable is how Alom and 14 friends pooled their resources monthly to purchase tickets together, creating a shared victory that will transform multiple lives.
“I was deep in prayer when the call came in. When I stepped out, my friend broke the incredible news. Since then, I’ve been filled with joy. But what makes this win truly special is that it’s not just mine; it belongs to 14 others and their families too,” Alom shared after his win.
A Symbolic Moment in the Draw
The March 3 draw featured a touching symbolic moment as Ashik Patinharath, the grand prize winner from the February 3 raffle, was invited to select this month’s winner. This created a meaningful connection between consecutive monthly winners, with Patinharath personally drawing Alom’s winning number exactly one month after his own life-changing moment.
Future Plans: Entrepreneurship Dreams
With his portion of the winnings, Alom plans to establish a small business in Dubai, hoping to include his friends in this entrepreneurial venture. His optimism remains high as he continues to look forward.
“I will definitely keep buying tickets. I hope my story encourages others to take a chance and be part of this amazing journey,” Alom added.
