After 5 years, Sharjah-based expat wins Dh50,000 in Big Ticket e-draw

## A Long-Awaited Victory

Sandhya Pradeep, an Indian expatriate residing in Sharjah, has finally struck gold after five years of participating in the Big Ticket e-draw. Originally from Hyderabad, India, Sandhya has been living in the UAE since 2014. Her persistence paid off when she received a call announcing her win of Dh50,000, leaving her in disbelief.

Sandhya is part of a group of around 20 people who collectively purchase Big Ticket entries. This group approach is popular among expatriates in the UAE, allowing them to share both the cost and the excitement of potentially winning.

## No Immediate Plans

Despite her win, Sandhya has not yet decided how to spend the prize money. She encourages others to "keep trying and trust your intuition."
