The youngest winner, MD Jamil Hossain, a 29-year-old from Bangladesh living in Al Ain, recounted missing the initial calls because he was asleep. “When I later recognised the number, I immediately checked and verified the result. It was such a shock, I still can’t quite believe it,” he said. Jamil, who had participated with 14 friends, said he plans to continue entering Big Ticket draws.
