Big Ticket draw rules and next chance
A standard raffle ticket costs 500 dirhams (AED 500) to participate in this draw. Many times offers like ‘Buy 2 Get 2 Free’ are also available at the airport counter or online. People who had purchased two or more cash tickets together between February 1 and February 24, 2026, got a place in the ‘Big Win’ segment.
Organizers said that usually people are called to the studio and asked to spin a wheel, in which a prize ranging from 50 thousand to 1.5 lakh dirhams is given. But this time, in view of the special circumstances, the maximum prize of 1.5 lakh dirhams was given directly to the four winners.
Now the next draw of Big Ticket is going to be held on 3rd April. The winner of this upcoming draw will get a grand prize of 20 million dirhams (Dh20 million).
