February has officially been declared the month of millionaires in the United Arab Emirates capital, as Big Ticket Abu Dhabi, the region's longest-running and most popular raffle draw, makes a major announcement. The organization has officially revealed details for its upcoming Series 260 jackpot, setting the stage for another life-changing event.
Massive Dh15 Million Grand Prize Announced
One exceptionally lucky winner will walk away with a staggering Dh15 million during the live draw scheduled for March 3, 2026. This announcement has generated tremendous excitement among residents and international participants who have consistently viewed Big Ticket as the ultimate "dream-maker" in the region. The grand prize represents just one aspect of the draw's appeal, with equally enticing runner-up prizes ensuring that the life-changing impact extends beyond a single individual.
February's Daily Winning Streak
While the colossal Dh15 million grand prize won't be awarded until March, February is already creating new wealthy individuals every single day. The "Daily E-Draw" has been crowning winners since the clock struck midnight on February 1, adding a new name to the exclusive "Winner's Club" every 24 hours. These daily winners are selected from all participants who purchased tickets during the previous day.
The month's inaugural victory went to Indian-origin expat Hakkim Sha Habeeb, who became February's first fortunate winner. After purchasing ticket number 123322 online, he initially missed the notification call on February 1 but later discovered with immense joy that he had won Dh50,000. Throughout the remainder of February, 27 more individuals will follow in Hakkim's fortunate footsteps, with each daily winner announced at 11:00 AM UAE time on Big Ticket's official website and social media channels.
Inspiration from Recent Jackpot Success
The momentum for February's participation has been significantly boosted by recent success stories. Just last month, Anna Lee Gayongan, a senior account executive from the Philippines, began 2026 as a multi-millionaire after winning the Dh30 million grand prize in Series 282. Her remarkable journey of living in Dubai for 15 years before finally hitting the jackpot has inspired thousands to try their luck during this February promotion.
Luxury Vehicle Giveaways
For participants who prefer premium automotive prizes over direct cash, February features two exceptional Dream Car promotions. Enthusiasts can try their luck at winning a sleek Maserati Grecale for a ticket price of Dh150. Alternatively, a high-end Range Rover Velar is also available through the same ticket price structure.
Unlike the main cash draw, these automotive raffles operate on independent timelines and frequently attract massive crowds at the Abu Dhabi International Airport arrivals hall, where physical tickets are sold alongside the digital platform. This creates a vibrant atmosphere of anticipation and excitement around these luxury vehicle giveaways.
Global Impact and Regulatory Oversight
The "Common Impact" of Big Ticket extends far beyond UAE borders, creating positive change across multiple continents. Year after year, winners from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom have utilized their winnings to construct homes, fund critical medical procedures, and launch businesses in their home countries. This demonstrates how the raffle serves as a catalyst for international economic development and personal transformation.
The Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) Abu Dhabi and the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) maintain rigorous oversight to ensure the draw operates with the highest standards of transparency and fairness. Participants aren't merely purchasing tickets; they're investing in a legacy of wealth redistribution that has transformed hundreds of ordinary workers into extraordinary success stories with global reach.
