Emirates Loto rolls out new Dh35m digital lottery – The National

Emirates Loto - a new weekly raffle with a jackpot of Dh35 million - will hold its inaugural draw on April 18 after it was postponed from March 28 to align with the UAE government's precautionary measures to contain the spread of Covid-19.. Abu Dhabi Duty Free's Big Ticket, which was live-streamed on Facebook last month and this month, offers a Dh10m prize, while the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire's top award is $1m (Dh3.67m).. There are 1,505 confirmed cases in the UAE - three times the number last week.. To participate in Emirates Loto, anyone over the age of 18 in the UAE and abroad can purchase "collectable" cards for Dh35 either on the website, through the app or at Choitrams supermarkets.. Buyers also have the option to "donate" their cards, but still participate in the draw.. Each card allows the buyer to generate six numbers through the Emirates Loto website or app.. Three number matches will give the buyer a free entry to the next draw, four number matches give Dh300 and five number matches Dh350,000.. If all six numbers match, the buyer can win a share in a minimum jackpot of Dh35m, which will be divided equally
