Vetrivel M., a former engineer from Tamil Nadu, India did not think that playing Emirates Draw would change his family’s life. Thanks to his first SURE1 ticket, using completely random numbers, he won $30,000.

“I was just trying my luck,” says Vetrivel, recalling how he downloaded the Emirates Draw app three years ago after a friend introduced him to it.

His winning moment is one he will never forget. “I was asleep when I saw the email and missed call from Emirates Draw. At first, I couldn’t believe it, but when I told my wife her excitement made it more real,” he shares.

For Vetrivel, this win means more than a prize, it is the key to fulfilling his family’s dreams. “We had been planning a family vacation to Singapore and Dubai, but managing finances was tough. Now, it is finally possible!” he adds.

His story has already encouraged many in his community to try their luck. He hopes to use part of his prize to help families facing financial challenges, giving back in whatever way he can.

To anyone who has not tried playing yet, his advice is simple and heartfelt: “Don’t lose hope. Believe in yourself, because one small try can change your life.”

Emirates Draw continues to offer multiple games for evert type of player, giving anyone 18+, anywhere in the world, the chance to dream big. In addition, for today only, the EASY6 Grand Prize stands at $6 million from $4 million, an opportunity that does not come every day.
