UAE Lottery to Sell Tickets at Supermarkets, Fuel Stations

The UAE Lottery is taking the next big step in making lottery tickets more accessible to everyone by expanding sales to everyday retail spaces like supermarkets, convenience stores, and fuel stations.

According to Bishop Woosley, director of Lottery Operations at The Game — the organization behind the UAE Lottery — this new move will be launched soon, though an exact timeline has not been set.

Launched late last year with a whopping Dh100-million jackpot, the UAE Lottery currently offers tickets exclusively through its website. However, Woosley revealed that an app will also be available soon, further expanding the ways players can join in on the action.

Speaking to Khaleej Times, Woosley elaborated on the new retail sales plan, explaining that it will allow shoppers to simply walk into stores and pick up tickets. Whether it’s a bin of scratch-off tickets at the cash register or a terminal where you can buy your Lucky Day ticket, the UAE Lottery aims to provide a seamless lottery experience. In fact, ticket vending machines could also become a possibility for retail locations.

To promote this, stores selling tickets will be equipped with "marketing materials" to ensure shoppers are aware of the exciting opportunity.

Since its debut, the UAE Lottery has been a game-changer for the country, offering participants the chance to win from Dh100 up to Dh100 million. Draws are held every fortnight on Saturdays, and players can either pick their own numbers or let the random generator do the work. There are also scratch cards with a top prize of Dh1 million. Woosley teased that more games will be coming soon, saying that both the app and the website will feature fresh content to keep players engaged.

When it comes to security and fairness, Woosley assured the public that the lottery’s games meet the highest standards. All games undergo rigorous testing by international labs to guarantee the integrity of the lottery’s platform and ensure players are getting what they pay for. "We go through compliance checks constantly," Woosley explained. "From the ball machines to the weight of the balls, everything is tested to make sure it meets the strict regulatory requirements."

The UAE Lottery is regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), ensuring that all operations remain secure and compliant. Woosley emphasized the extensive testing process that ensures the safety of every draw, reassuring players that their participation is both exciting and trustworthy.

With more games and easier access on the way, the UAE Lottery is making it even easier to dream big and join the fun from your local store or the comfort of your phone.
