After trying his luck continuously for two years, an Indian got success when he won a lottery of Rs 24 lakh in Dubai. The 57-year-old man, a driver by profession, had been trying his luck by buying lottery tickets for the last two years. Despite buying lottery tickets once a month, luck was not on Bashir Kapurth's side for so long. Bashir had been living in the United Arab Emirates for the last 25 years. Finally, he won 1 lakh dirhams (approximately Rs 24 lakh) in the 'Big Ticket' e-draw with ticket number 276640.

Bashir told the media that he regularly purchased the Big Ticket lottery every month. Each time, he hoped his luck would turn. Even though he didn't win a prize, Bashir's insistence on buying lottery tickets persisted. When contacted after recently winning a Big Ticket lucky draw, he initially couldn't believe his ears. He kept asking if he had actually won.

After news of his lottery win spread through the media, he said, "Thank you. I'm very happy." The winner said he had set aside a portion of his prize for his family in India. He believes that patience and perseverance truly pay off. Bashir said he will continue to buy lottery tickets like this. 'Big Ticket' is one of the most popular lotteries in the United Arab Emirates. It's possible to win cash prizes and luxury cars through this lottery.
