UAE: Pakistani tailor wins Mahzooz prize, plans to spend on driving lessons first
Other winners include an Indian stationery salesman and a British IT professional, who each took home the same amount.
Three lucky winners took home Dh100,000 each in the 101st Mahzooz weekly draw. The expats – Anas from the UK, Muhammad from Pakistan, and Qadeer from India – won the weekly raffle draw that took place on Saturday, November 5 at the Mahzooz studios.
The second prize of Dh1 million was shared among 23 other winners, each receiving Dh43,478 each. This edition of the draw saw Dh1.7 million being distributed to 1,404 winners, even as the limited time top prize of Dh20 million is still waiting to be claimed.
Muhammad, a 35-year-old tailor from Pakistan who has been living in the UAE for eight years, is overjoyed with his Dh100,000 prize.
He plans on treating himself to the latest smartphone and taking driving lessons to improve his employment prospects.
