Additionally, participants can purchase scratch cards offering a range of prizes from Dhs50,000 up to Dhs1,000,000.
The draw aims to provide participants not only with the chance to win life-changing amounts but also with a new form of entertainment that adheres to the strict regulatory frameworks of the GCGRA.
In addition to offering substantial prizes, the platform emphasises fair play and security for all involved.
A key pillar of the UAE Lottery is its commitment to responsible gaming. The Game is fully dedicated to ensuring that all lottery operations meet global standards, from the draw process to the selection of winners.
Bishop Woosley, Director of Lottery Operations at The Game, said: “Our mission at The UAE Lottery is to inspire people to dream big, aligning with our slogan, ‘Dare to Imagine.’ We aim to create exciting experiences while promoting responsible play.
“Following a rigorous GCGRA evaluation, our team remains committed to ensuring that all operations meet global standards, guaranteeing fairness and transparency from the draw process to the selection of winners.”
