Mumbai Man Wins Dh150K in Big Ticket After 10-Year Wait

Some dreams really do pay off — just ask Babulal Gautam, a 68-year-old from Mumbai, who finally hit it big with Big Ticket Abu Dhabi after a decade of persistence. Gautam, along with four other lucky winners including Tunisian expat Souhail Barhoumi, walked away with Dh150,000 in the latest Big Ticket bonus draw.

A Decade in the Making

Gautam’s Big Ticket journey started back in 2014 when he was living in Sharjah and running his own shop. After returning to Mumbai, he continued buying tickets regularly — every month, every year, for ten years straight.

“I found Big Ticket to be the most genuine and trustworthy raffle out there, which is why I’ve continued buying tickets all these years,” he shared. “After a whole decade of trying, it finally happened.”

Despite missing the winning call, Gautam’s inbox revealed the big news. “I kept checking and rechecking to make sure it was real,” he said. His advice? “Take that first step. I’m more of a scientific person and don’t believe in luck much, but I do believe that to win, you need to play.”

Eid Surprise in Ajman

Another winner, 38-year-old Souhail Barhoumi from Tunisia, was out shopping for Eid clothes with his daughter in Ajman when he got the life-changing call. “It completely made my day. I’ll never forget my winning ticket number,” he said.

Barhoumi has been participating in Big Ticket draws since 2016, always taking advantage of the promotions. He plans to use the prize money to finish building his house. “I’ll keep playing until I win the grand prize,” he added. “Big Ticket is real, and my advice is simple — give it a try. Your luck might just surprise you.”

More UAE Winners

Joining Gautam and Barhoumi are three Keralite residents of the UAE who also landed Dh150,000 each in the same draw — proving that sometimes, patience really does pay off.

Whether it's persistence, faith, or just showing up with a ticket, these winners are living proof: if you keep trying, your moment might just be around the corner.
