Dubai - Indian expat and Dubai-resident Britty Markose won the Big Ticket's jackpot Dh10 million on Saturday.
The Dream 10 Million Raffle Draw Series 197 was announced on Saturday morning at the Abu Dhabi International Airport’s arrivals hall at 10am.
An elated Markose was simply at a loss for words when he was informed over the phone about the bounty he had won.
'I had a feeling I would win', he told Gulf News.
“I don’t know if you will believe or not if I say I had a feeling that I would win this time,” Markose told Gulf News said on Saturday.
“And so I was very calm when I got the call. I wasn’t following the draw live but I had a feeling something good would happen today,” said Markose in a phone interview even as his colleagues could be heard in the background with their demands from the bounty.
“That was my line-manager, he has just asked for one million,” laughs Markose, who works in the technical department at Al Shafar General Contracting Company.
Markose has been living in Dubai since 2004.
