“I am the sole bread earner for my family. My brother passed away during the pandemic and I am supporting his family. I have aged parents and a five-year-old daughter. So the extra money comes just in time," he said. Khan said he was left pleasantly surprised after getting the news. "I also told my family and they could not believe it either. They said to double-check the news for its authenticity," he said.

Paul Chader, Head of Marketing, Tycheros which organises Emirates Draw, said: “We are glad to announce our first winner for FAST 5 in less than eight weeks of its launch. The reason why we call it FAST 5 is because it is the fastest way to become a multi-millionaire.” Unemployed Indian Man Wins USD 1 Million in UAE Raffle Draw.
