Emirates Loto is launching a 35 million dirham ($9.5 million) weekly prize draw in the UAE where players will purchase one or more collectibles, which cost 35 dirhams each.
If a player matches three of six numbers, the prize is a free entry, four numbers is a cash prize of 300 dirhams, five numbers is a cash prize of up to 10 million dirhams, and six numbers is a prize of 35 million dirhams, according to the company’s website.
Emirates Loto WebsiteThe collectibles can be purchased through the company’s website and app or in stores across the UAE. Each purchase gives one entry to the draw in the form of a six-digit number; if the collectibles are ordered online, they are delivered.
If there are no six number winners, then the prize will be raised in five million dirhams increments until it reaches 50 million dirhams. In the case of multiple winners, the prize will be divided amongst all winners.
The draw will be livestreamed every Saturday at 7:30 p.m. UAE time in front of a live audience and can be viewed on Emirates Loto’s website.
The collectibles feature different landmarks from across the UAE, and their purchase is necessary to take part in the draw.
“As per the Islamic fatwa and sharia principles, there needs to be an exchange of value. Entering the weekly draw is optional. You can buy the Collectable for collection purposes only and decline the option to enter the free entry to the draw,” Emirates Loto says on its website.
Emirates Lotto WebsiteThe launch of Emirates Loto comes as the UAE is under widespread shutdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
More Information about United Arab Emirates tourism:
Dubai has been called the "shopping capital of the Middle East." The city draws large numbers of shopping tourists from countries within the region and from as far as Eastern Europe, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. Dubai is known for its souk districts. Souk is the Arabic word for market or place where any kind of goods are brought or exchanged. Traditionally, dhows from the Far East, China, Sri Lanka, and India would discharge their cargos and the goods would be bargained over in the souks adjacent to the docks. Dubai's most atmospheric shopping is to be found in the souks, located on either side of the creek, where bargaining is part of the buzz.
