UAE Lottery Offers Dh100 Million Jackpot Every Fortnight
The UAE Lottery, the country's first and only regulated lottery, offers a Dh100 million jackpot every fortnight. The lottery, which was launched in December last year, draws attention with multiple prize categories, including smaller guaranteed cash prizes starting from Dh100 and reaching up to Dh1 million[3].
To win the life-changing Dh100 million jackpot, players must participate in the official UAE Lottery draws, which are federally licensed and regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority since 2023[3]. The exact rules involve matching numbers from two sets: 'Days'—six numbers drawn—and 'Months'—one number drawn[2].
The jackpot remains unclaimed if no ticket matches all winning numbers in a draw. However, there are other prize tiers. For instance, matching a combination of five 'Days' numbers plus one 'Month' number (referred to as the third prize in the Lucky Day category) awards Dh100,000[2].
The odds for winning the Dh100 million jackpot or other prizes are not publicly detailed. However, the presence of multiple winning categories suggests a tiered prize system based on how many numbers from each set a player matches[2].
In addition to the main draw, the UAE Lottery offers various scratch card games and other digital games, with prizes up to Dh1 million[3]. Ticket purchases can be made online at the official UAE Lottery platform[2].
Recently, seven Lucky Chance IDs were chosen, each offering a guaranteed prize of Dh100,000[2]. The system generates a corresponding 'Lucky Chance ID' for each ticket bought. Participants can either select their lottery numbers or use the 'Easy Pick' feature.
The UAE Lottery jackpot numbers for August 9 are: 19, 4, 1, 14, 9, 10 in the 'Days' set, and 8 in the 'Months' set[3]. The lottery has also announced two new games with prizes up to Dh1.25 million[3].
Rates for the scratch cards start from Dh5, with the top prize of Dh1 million available for cards priced at Dh50[3]. The lottery is open to residents aged 18 and over in the UAE. Draws happen every two weeks.
In summary, the UAE Lottery's Dh100 million jackpot requires matching a specific combination of 'Days' and 'Months' numbers, with other prize tiers rewarding fewer matches. While precise odds for the jackpot are not publicly detailed, winning smaller prizes such as Dh100,000 involves matching five 'Days' numbers and one 'Month' number. The official website hosts ticket sales and draw results for transparency[2][3].
