“I first discovered Big Ticket on TikTok. My friends and I would watch the videos and decided to try our luck as well. Since then, we've been purchasing tickets every month for the past four years. When I received the winning call, I was overjoyed. I always believed that one day my turn would come," he said.

“With the prize money, I plan to split it with my group. As for my share, I haven't decided yet, but some will go to my family back home, and I will also use part of it to pay off my loans. My friends and I have already purchased our next ticket and are eagerly waiting for the upcoming draw. I encourage everyone to participate in Big Ticket," Rashed added.

After years of buying Big Ticket together, Jujethan Juje and his group of 10 colleagues finally won. While Jujethan is currently on vacation, his colleague Aneesh Amal Jacob shared the excitement on behalf of the group.

“We never really thought we'd win,” Amal admitted.“We've been buying tickets every month for the last 10 years, and luck had never come our way.”

The winning moment came as a complete surprise.“I was casually browsing the internet to see who had won, and suddenly I saw my colleague's name on the screen. I immediately called everyone and it was one of the happiest moments of our lives. We are all absolutely thrilled.”

The team plans to share the prize among themselves, and Amal says he will send his share back home to support his family. His message to fellow players is simple:“When the time is right, luck will find you. Keep trying, and never give up.”
