Two lucky lottery entrants from the United Arab Emirates welcomed the New Year by becoming millionaires. The two winners took home Dh10 million each, sharing the Dh20 million jackpot, to say goodbye to 2023 in incredible fashion.

Serhii (pronounced Sergui) from Ukraine and Zenobia from India started 2024 with a multi-digit fund in their bank account.

Zenobia, a 67-year-old from India, has lived in Dubai for 33 years. She worked as an administrator at one of the business conglomerates in the United Arab Emirates.

“The moment I found out about the win, I was surprised. I got an email on the last day of the year,” said Zenobia, who has been participating in Mahzooz since its inception.

Married with a daughter, a son and two grandchildren, Zenobia plans to share her new fortune with her family. “I feel like I want to travel with my children and grandchildren. I haven’t decided what I’ll do with my earnings, although for now I’m thinking about travel,” said Zanobia.
