"This is great. I am very happy," said Simon who had purchased his ticket online.

Apart from one Syrian national, rest of the winners in the top 10 list are all Indians.

Indian nationals continue to rule the roost at the Big Ticket raffle draw.

Kuwait-based Sandeep Menon won $1 million at the draw late last month.

Earlier last month, a 30-year-old Indian had won a $ 1.9 million in a monthly raffle in the UAE, hours before he was set to leave the country for good.

John Varughese, an Indian driver from Kerala, had won Dh12 million in the raffle draw in April.
