At the Series 252 Big Ticket Live draw, Lovesy Mole Achamma was named the lucky winner who took home the AED 20 million grand prize.
A registered nurse at a hospital in Abu Dhabi, the Indian national has been a resident of the UAE for the past 21 years and resides in the capital with her family. Her two children are currently in university in India. In fact, at the time of her win, Lovesy’s husband was back home enrolling their daughter, who is set to begin her studies this year.
Though her husband used to purchase Big Ticket cash prize tickets every month, Lovesy says she only buys her tickets at the in-store counter at Abu Dhabi International Airport when traveling. She will be splitting the prize money with her brother-in-law and plans to donate a portion of her winnings to charity. A separate sum, she says, will be spent on her children’s higher education.
