The Winner of Dh100 Million Lottery
Here’s The Winner of Dh100 Million Lottery in the UAE
The suspense is finally over! The UAE has just revealed the winner of its biggest-ever Dh100 million lottery jackpot, and the lucky person is none other than Anilkumar Bolla, a 29-year-old Indian expat living in Abu Dhabi. His incredible win has made headlines across the country, marking a historic moment for both him and the UAE Lottery.
Meet the Record-Breaking Winner
Anilkumar, who hails from Kerala, India, had been playing the UAE Lottery since its launch — but never imagined he’d hit the jackpot of a lifetime. He struck gold in the 23rd Lucky Day Draw #251018 held on October 18, 2025. When the call came through confirming his win, he was at home relaxing and initially thought it was a prank.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” he said in an emotional video shared by the UAE Lottery. “Even today, I’m still trying to process this. It feels unreal.”
How Anilkumar Picked His Winning Numbers
Interestingly, Anilkumar didn’t just rely on luck alone. He bought 12 tickets at once, using the Easy Pick option that automatically generates combinations. However, he deliberately chose the number 11 — a sweet tribute to his mother’s birthday. That single thoughtful gesture ended up changing his entire life.
He matched all seven numbers correctly, beating odds of 1 in 8.8 million to become the UAE’s first-ever Dh100 million winner.
What He Plans to Do With His Winnings
Anilkumar says his first priority is his family. “My parents have small dreams, and now I can fulfil them all,” he shared. He plans to bring his parents to the UAE, buy a supercar, and celebrate the milestone at a seven-star resort.
He also revealed his intention to donate part of the money to charity, saying that giving back brings him true happiness. “I want to make sure the money reaches people who genuinely need it,” he said. Honestly, that’s the kind of win that touches hearts — not just bank accounts.
A Historic Moment for the UAE Lottery
According to lottery officials, this was the largest prize ever awarded in UAE lottery history. Alongside Anilkumar’s jackpot, ten other participants won Dh100,000 each in the same draw. Since its launch, the UAE Lottery has distributed over Dh147 million in prizes to more than 100,000 winners.
Scott Burton, Commercial Gaming Director at The UAE Lottery, congratulated Anilkumar and emphasized the significance of the win. “This Dh100 million prize marks a major milestone for us. It reflects the trust and excitement that players have shown in The UAE Lottery,” he said.
More Than Just Luck
Winning during the festive Diwali season made the moment even more special for Anilkumar. “It feels like a divine blessing,” he shared, smiling. For him, this victory isn’t just about the money — it’s about gratitude, faith, and new beginnings.
Honestly, stories like these remind us that sometimes, good things really do happen to good people.
