Abu Dhabi based Indian engineer wins AED 25M Big Ticket
Indian expat engineer Saravanan Venkatachalam, based in Abu Dhabi, has won the AED 25 million grand prize in the Big Ticket raffle draw held on November 3, 2025. The 44-year-old purchased the winning ticket number 463221 on October 30. He initially missed the live winner call because his phone was on Do Not Disturb mode, but later learned about his win from friends and family.
Originally from Chennai, Saravanan has been living in the UAE since 2019 and started participating in Big Ticket raffles five years ago after a colleague encouraged him. He plans to allocate a portion of his winnings towards his child’s education and invest the rest wisely after consulting with his family.
Following his October jackpot win, Big Ticket Abu Dhabi has launched a November promotion offering another chance to win AED 25 million in the December 3 draw. Participants purchasing tickets between November 1 and 21 will also be entered into a special E-draw for a luxury race and yacht experience in Abu Dhabi, along with opportunities to win additional cash prizes.
Other prizes during this period include luxury cars such as the Maserati Grecale for December and the BMW 430i for January 2026. Special bundle promotions are also available, including buy two tickets and get two free for both the Big Ticket and Dream Car series. Tickets can be purchased online and at counters in Zayed Airport and Al Ain Airport.
