Manu Mohanan, a nurse from kerala working in bahrain, has become an overnight millionaire after winning the recent Big Ticket raffle in the UAE. The 3 crore uae dirhams he won amounts to approximately INR 70,56,65,400.

On december 26, 2024, Mohanan bought two tickets for the Big Ticket Raffle, and thanks to a buy two-get one free offer, he received a third ticket. During the live tv draw, the host called Mohanan and informed him that he had won 3 crore dirhams with ticket number 535948. In disbelief, Mohanan had to ask the host three times to confirm his win.

In an interview, Mohanan revealed that he and his friends had been trying their luck for five years, regularly purchasing tickets. Having worked as a nurse in bahrain for the past seven years, this win has transformed his life.

In a similar stroke of luck last month, indian expatriate Arvind Appukuttan won Rs 59 crore in the same raffle. Appukuttan, who was involved in drawing the winning ticket this time, shared that he would distribute the prize money among 19 of his friends to help pay off debts and assist with marriages.
