A man from Tamil Nadu struck it lucky when he participated in a raffle draw while in the United Arab Emirates, winning a substantial sum of money. He was awarded this big prize, making him the “first winner outside the UAE.” The remarkable thing about this is that he will receive a fixed sum every month for the next twenty-five years.
An Indian project manager named Magesh Kumar Natarajan traveled to the UAE in 2019 for a four-year job. He remained in the nation until early this year, at which point he participated in an Emirates Draw FAST5 Grand Prize game.
What is the amount that was won?
Natarajan, a resident of Ambur, Tamil Nadu, would receive Dh 25,000, or around ₹5.6 lakh, every month for the next 25 years.
Natarajan’s response?
He was initially shocked to learn he had received the top prize. When he received a call from Emirates Draw officials, he understood he was the new winner.
What is his plan, with the prize money?

“Throughout my life and while I was studying, I overcame several obstacles. Numerous members of society assisted me in finishing my schooling. It’s my chance to return the favour to society. I’ll make sure that the individuals in need receive my contribution to society,” he said.
In addition to contributing to the community, this father of two intends to invest in his daughter’s education.
It was an incredible experience that ended up being one of my greatest and most unforgettable days ever. In order to provide a better future for my family and to invest in my girls’ education, he continued.

Managing Partner at Emirates Draw Mohammad Behroozian Alawadhi commented, “Having another Grand Prize Winner in such an impressively brief span reaffirms FAST5’s unparalleled pace in delivering Grand Prizes.” A man from Uttar Pradesh by the name of Mohammed Adil Khan won another lottery draw held by the corporation earlier this year in July.
The managing partner continued, “Our vision goes beyond just games; we aim to touch and transform as many lives as possible globally.”
