Lucky Day Details To keep In mind:
The Lucky Day live draw happens every two weeks on Saturdays at 8:30 PM UAE time. Tickets are available for purchase between 10 PM on the draw day and 7 PM the following Saturday. Sales will also be paused from 7 PM to 10 PM during the live draw. It’s also important to know that each ticket can only win one prize per draw – if a single ticket qualifies for multiple prizes, only the highest prize will be awarded.
And here’s the most important detail to keep in mind of them – If more than one person wins the jackpot, the prize money will be evenly split among them. So keep those prayers high that you’re the only winner of the AED 100 Million jackpot!

The Bonus Draw: Lucky Chance
You don’t think that’s all, do you? Each ‘Lucky Day’ ticket automatically generates a unique Lucky Chance ID. This ID is entered into a bonus draw, held alongside the main draw. For the first draw on December 14, seven lucky winners will each take home AED 100,000! If that’s not motivation enough to take part in UAE’s first official lottery, I don’t know what is.
