The UAE Lottery has awarded its first Dh100 million Grand Prize, marking the largest lottery prize ever distributed in the United Arab Emirates. A UAE resident matched all seven winning numbers in the 23rd Lucky Day draw held on Saturday night.

“Dh100 million Grand Prize has been won! Tonight’s Lucky Day Draw #251018 crowned our very first Dh100 million winner,” the UAE Lottery announced on social media following the historic draw.

The winner’s identity has not been disclosed, as the UAE Lottery is conducting compliance and security checks before making an official announcement. The winner will receive notification and must log into their account to view the details.

Draw Details and Winning Numbers

The Lucky Day draw takes place biweekly every other Saturday at 8:30 pm UAE time and is broadcast on YouTube. The minimum entry amount is Dh50 per ticket.

The winning numbers for the historic draw were:

  • Days’ set: 7, 10, 11, 18, 25, 29
  • Months’ set: 11

To claim the Grand Prize, a ticket must match all seven numbers (six from the Days’ set plus one from the Months’ set). The odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1 in 8,835,372.

Additional Prize Winners

Saturday’s draw also produced multiple other winners. The Lucky Day draw awarded Dh100,000 to seven players in the Lucky Chance ID category, a feature that provides these amounts to players regardless of number matching.

Three additional players won the third prize of Dh100,000 each by matching five numbers in the Days’ set and the number in the Months’ set.

Prize Claim Process

Winners of prizes exceeding Dh100,000 must claim their winnings by contacting the UAE Lottery at support@theuaelottery.ae or calling 800 2365. These prizes must be claimed in person.

Large prizes will be paid within 30 days of successful validation, provided the winner meets all eligibility criteria. Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.

If multiple tickets match all winning numbers, the Grand Prize will be divided evenly among all eligible winners. Only UAE residents aged 18 and above are eligible to participate, win, and claim prizes.

The UAE Lottery reserves the right to withhold payment under certain circumstances, including failure to claim within 180 days, dishonest or illegal entries, or failure to provide requested verification information.
