A 45-year-old Indian technician based in Oman became an overnight crorepati after winning 15 million Dirham (Rs 34.88 crore) in the latest Big Ticket raffle draw held in Abu Dhabi.
Rajesh Mullankil Vellilapullithodi, originally from Kerala, secured the grand prize after purchasing ticket 375678 for Draw number 273 online on March 30.
Having lived in Oman for the past 33 years, Rajesh regularly entered the monthly draw along with a group of friends. This time, luck was finally on his side.
“I can’t even put my emotions into words—I was so happy and so shocked when I got the call. Just five minutes before, my friend told me to check, but I never imagined I would actually win,” he shared.
Still coming to terms with the life-changing win, Rajesh revealed that he hasn’t made any firm plans yet, as he intends to share the prize money with his group.
