Abu Dhabi’s Big Ticket raffle launches a Dh15 million jackpot this February / AI Image
February is officially the month of millionaires in the UAE capital. Big Ticket Abu Dhabi, the region’s longest-running and most popular raffle draw, has officially announced its Series 260 jackpot. One lucky winner will walk away with a staggering Dh15 million during the live draw scheduled for March 3, 2026. This announcement comes as a major thrill for residents and international participants who have long viewed Big Ticket as the ultimate “dream-maker.” The grand prize isn’t the only highlight; the runner-up prizes remain equally enticing, ensuring that the life-changing impact of the draw is felt by more than just one person.
Prizes for February
While the massive Dh15 million grand prize won’t be drawn until March 3, February is already making people rich every single day. The “Daily E-Draw” has been crowning winners since the clock struck midnight on February 1.Every 24 hours, a new name is added to the “Winner’s Club.” These winners are selected from everyone who purchased a ticket the previous day.
- The First Win of February: Indian-origin expat Hakkim Sha Habeeb became the month’s first lucky winner. After purchasing ticket number 123322 online, he missed the initial call on February 1 but was later thrilled to discover he had won Dh50,000.
- Ongoing Daily Luck: Throughout February, 27 more individuals will follow in Hakkim’s footsteps. Each daily winner is announced at 11:00 AM UAE time on the Big Ticket website and social media channels.
Just last month, Anna Lee Gayongan, a senior account executive from the Philippines, started 2026 as a multi-millionaire by winning the Dh30 million grand prize in Series 282. Her story of living in Dubai for 15 years and finally hitting the jackpot has inspired thousands to try their luck this February.
Giveaways
For those who prefer luxury wheels over cold hard cash, February features two incredible Dream Car promotions. Participants can try their luck at winning a sleek Maserati Grecale for a ticket price of Dh150. If that doesn’t suit your style, a high-end Range Rover Velar is also on the roster for the same ticket price. Unlike the main cash draw, these car raffles operate on their own timelines, often drawing massive crowds at the Abu Dhabi International Airport arrivals hall, where the physical tickets are also sold alongside the digital platform.
Looking ahead
The “Common Impact” of Big Ticket extends far beyond the borders of the UAE. Year after year, winners from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the UK have used their winnings to build homes, fund life-saving surgeries, and start businesses in their home countries. The Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) Abu Dhabi and the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) ensure that the draw maintains the highest standards of transparency and fairness. By participating, players aren’t just buying a piece of paper; they are buying a stake in a legacy of wealth redistribution that has turned hundreds of ordinary workers into extraordinary success stories.
