Big Ticket Winners List 2026: Every Grand Prize From Series 282 to 292

Last updated: 6 November 2026

The Big Ticket winners list for 2026 has 11 names so far: one grand-prize winner for each monthly draw from Series 282 on 3 January to Series 292 on 3 November, sharing Dh235 million between them. Seven of the 11 are Indian nationals, three are Filipino and one is Pakistani, and the operator's own records show every one of those winning tickets was bought on the Big Ticket website rather than at an airport counter. The full table, the smaller prizes behind each draw and the patterns worth knowing are below.

• Prize sizes moved month to month: one Dh30m draw, three Dh25m, five Dh20m and two Dh15m.

Who won the Big Ticket grand prize in 2026?

The table below is taken from Big Ticket's official Winners' Club and All Winners pages, read on 4 November 2026. Names, nationalities, ticket numbers and amounts are as the operator publishes them.

Series and draw date — Winner — Nationality — Grand prize

• 282, 3 January — Anna Lee Gayongan — Philippines — Dh30 million
• 283, 3 February — Shanthanu Shettigar — India — Dh20 million
• 284, 4 March — Vibeesh Palliyali — India — Dh15 million
• 285, 3 April — Shamon Shaji — India — Dh20 million
• 286, 3 May — Abdul Rasheed Allipra Valappil Abdu — India — Dh25 million
• 287, 3 June — Krishnakumar Syamala Ravindran — India — Dh20 million

How much has Big Ticket paid in grand prizes this year?

Dh235 million across 11 draws, an average of about Dh21.4 million per draw. That figure counts grand prizes only. It leaves out the five consolation prizes in every draw, the Big Win prizes, the weekly e-draws, the Big Spin, a one-off May "Appreciation draw" of 50 Dh10,000 prizes and the separate Dream Car raffle, so the operator's total payout for the year is higher.

The grand prize is not a fixed amount. Big Ticket's draw rules say only that "prize amounts vary" and that current prizes are published on its website. In 2026 the headline figure ranged from Dh15 million (March and September) to Dh30 million (January). The Dh25 million draws came in May, July and November.

Which nationalities win Big Ticket most often?

On this year's list, Indian nationals took seven of the 11 grand prizes, Filipinos three and Pakistanis one. The pattern is similar in the smaller prizes. Across the 55 consolation prizes in the 11 draws, the official page lists 45 winners as Indian, eight as Bangladeshi, one as Sri Lankan and one as Emirati.

That says more about who buys tickets than about luck. Big Ticket does not publish ticket sales by nationality, so there is no way to tell whether any group wins more or less often than its share of entries would predict. Every ticket in a monthly draw has the same chance; the rules say winners are drawn "manually at random from a physical raffle drum" in Big Ticket's Abu Dhabi studio.

Some winners did not play alone. Gulf News reported that Reynaldo Herboso, a Filipino living in Dubai, was one of a group of ten people who bought the winning ticket together for the Dh20 million August draw, putting his share at Dh2 million, and that he had bought tickets for 15 years. Khaleej Times reported that Kanika Arora, a homemaker from New Delhi, had been buying entries with her husband for about three years before her Dh25 million win in July.

Why did every 2026 winner buy online?

The official records list all 11 winning tickets of 2026, and the December 2025 winner before them, as "Purchased from: Web". Big Ticket's help centre says tickets are sold on the website and at counters in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain airports, with no outlet in Dubai, and that people living outside the UAE can buy online.

Two examples show how far the online reach goes. Kanika Arora lives in New Delhi, according to Khaleej Times, and Gulf News reported in October that one of that draw's consolation winners lived in Muscat. Big Ticket does not say what share of tickets are sold online, so the all-web winners list cannot be turned into an online sales figure; it is consistent with the website being a major sales channel. Our guide to how Big Ticket works covers buying, eligibility and claiming in more detail.

What else was won in each draw?

The grand prize is only one line of each draw. Every 2026 draw also had five consolation prizes, and their size changed from month to month, as the official All Winners page shows. From January to June the draws also paid four "Big Win" prizes each.

Series — Consolation prizes

• 282 (3 Jan) — 5 × Dh50,000, plus 4 × Dh140,000 "Big Win" prizes
• 283 (3 Feb) — 5 × Dh1 million, plus 4 Big Win prizes (Dh90,000 to Dh150,000)
• 284 (4 Mar) — 5 × Dh100,000, plus 4 × Dh150,000 Big Win prizes
• 285 (3 Apr) — 5 × 200g 24k gold bars, plus 4 Big Win prizes (Dh120,000 to Dh150,000)
• 286 (3 May) — 5 × Dh1 million, plus 4 Big Win prizes (Dh120,000 to Dh150,000)
• 287 (3 Jun) — Dh1m, Dh500,000, Dh250,000, 2 × Dh100,000, plus 4 Big Win prizes (Dh140,000 to Dh150,000)
• 288 (3 Jul) — 5 × Dh1 million
• 289 (3 Aug) — 5 × Dh100,000
• 290 (3 Sep) — 5 × Dh100,000
• 291 (3 Oct) — Dh1m, Dh500,000, Dh250,000, 2 × Dh100,000
• 292 (3 Nov) — 5 × 200g 24k gold bars

Three of the year's draws (February, May and July) created five extra millionaires each through the consolation round alone. By contrast, the April and November draws paid their runners-up in gold rather than cash; Big Ticket does not put a dirham value on the bars.

Two other features ran alongside the grand prize. Weekly e-draws added four or five prizes a week in every draw period, ranging from Dh25,000 to Dh100,000 or a gold bar. From the July draw, the Big Spin, a prize wheel paying between Dh50,000 and Dh1 million, picked three ticket holders at one draw to spin at the next. Gulf News reported three spins at the 3 October draw, worth Dh50,000, Dh100,000 and Dh75,000, and the official page lists the three people picked on 3 October with prizes of Dh100,000, Dh100,000 and Dh50,000. The three picked on 3 November are listed with their prizes "Tbc", because under the rules they spin on 3 December.

Why was Series 284 drawn on 4 March?

Big Ticket's rules set the monthly draw for 7:30pm Gulf time on the 3rd of every month, and ten of this year's 11 draws followed that. The official record dates Series 284, won by Vibeesh Palliyali for Dh15 million, to 4 March 2026. Big Ticket has not published a reason on the pages we checked, so we have not guessed one. The practical point for ticket holders: the date on the official winners page is the one to trust, not a calendar assumption.

When is the next Big Ticket grand prize draw?

Series 293 is scheduled for 3 December 2026 at 7:30pm. The ticket page advertises a Dh25 million grand prize, three Big Spin prizes of up to Dh1 million, five consolation prizes of Dh100,000 and four weekly prizes of Dh25,000, with a "Buy 2 tickets, Get 3 Free" offer. Under the draw rules, tickets cost Dh500 each including VAT, and web sales for a December draw close at 23:45 on 30 November. We will add the Series 293 winner to this list once Big Ticket publishes it.

Big Ticket is one of only two airport lotteries the federal regulator, the GCGRA, allows to keep operating, alongside Dubai Duty Free. A ticket is a gamble with unpublished odds: the rules say "there is no cap on entries", so the chance of winning depends on how many tickets are sold, a number Big Ticket does not release. Our odds explainer works through what that means, and if playing stops being fun, our guide to responsible gambling help in the UAE lists where to turn.
