Mahzooz Results, App and Draw in 2026: What You Will Actually Find

Last updated: 10 November 2026

There are no new Mahzooz results in 2026, and there will not be any: Mahzooz has held no draw since 30 December 2023, and its website now says the weekly draw "has permanently ceased operations". The Mahzooz app is still listed on Apple's App Store, but its latest update carries the same shutdown notice, so it cannot sell tickets or show new results. Anything online offering "today's Mahzooz draw" or "Mahzooz winning numbers" for 2026 is either out of date or not from the original operator. Here is what each search actually leads to, and where the UAE's live draws are now.

Key takeaways

  • Mahzooz results: the last Mahzooz draw was Episode 161 on 30 December 2023, according to the archive on mahzooz.ae. There are no later results.
  • Mahzooz app: the official iPhone app by EWINGS LLC is still downloadable, but version 5.0.1 (4 September 2025) says Mahzooz "has permanently ceased operations".
  • Why it stopped: Mahzooz and Emirates Draw paused under an industry-wide halt from 1 January 2024. In July 2024 the UAE's only lottery licence went to The Game LLC, not to Mahzooz's operator, Ewings.
  • Emirates Draw: told Khaleej Times in December 2024 that UAE residents "can no longer access the Emirates Draw website or participate in its draws".
  • The legal draws in 2026: The UAE Lottery, Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free, the three the GCGRA allowed when it ordered other lotteries to stop in December 2024.

Are there any Mahzooz results in 2026?

No. The Mahzooz results page people remember stopped updating at the end of 2023. The official site, mahzooz.ae, says it "remains active solely for informational purposes". Its archive of previous shows ends with Episode 161, dated 30 December 2023, after Episodes 157, 159 and 160 earlier that month.

The site still shows Mahzooz's lifetime totals: more than AED 529 million distributed to over 2.1 million winners, including 66 millionaires. Its featured winners include Junaid, who won AED 50 million in October 2021, and Zenobia, who won AED 10 million on 30 December 2023, the final show.

So if a search for "Mahzooz results" or "Mahzooz winning numbers" shows a draw dated 2024, 2025 or 2026, it is not a Mahzooz draw. It may be an old page with a changed date, a results site that scrapes other lotteries, or a fake. The full story of the shutdown is in our explainer, what happened to Mahzooz.

Is the Mahzooz app still working?

The app exists, but the service behind it does not. On Apple's UAE App Store, "Mahzooz" by EWINGS LLC is still listed as a free download. Its latest version, 5.0.1, released on 4 September 2025, has release notes saying Mahzooz, "previously a weekly draw in the UAE, has permanently ceased operations", with the website kept for information.

The rest of the listing is a time capsule. The description still promotes a live show "every Saturday at 9 PM UAE time". The app averaged 3.1 out of 5 from 297 ratings when we checked, and recent reviews complain about logins and support. A Google Play search on 4 November 2026 also returned a "Mahzooz" listing under the developer Ewings LLC.

Downloading the official app is harmless, but pointless: it cannot buy tickets or show new draws. Be far more careful with anything else called "Mahzooz". An app or website from another developer using the Mahzooz name, promising draws, asking for card details or charging an "activation fee" is not the original operator. Our guide to fake UAE lottery and casino apps shows the common patterns.

Why did Mahzooz stop?

Because the UAE moved to a single licensed lottery, and Mahzooz did not win the licence.

  • 1 January 2024: an industry-wide pause on draws took effect, covering Mahzooz and Emirates Draw. Mahzooz's last show had gone out two days earlier, on 30 December 2023.
  • Late July 2024: the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) named The Game LLC as the country's first licensed lottery operator. Ewings said the decision was "indeed disappointing" but that it respected "the selection process", Khaleej Times reported. Over three years, Ewings said, it ran 161 live draws, created 66 millionaires and paid more than AED 500 million to more than 2 million players.
  • December 2024: the GCGRA warned that only The UAE Lottery held a lottery licence, that Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free could continue under regulation, and that all other pre-existing lotteries must stop.
  • By September 2025: Mahzooz had moved from "pause" to "permanently ceased", in the wording now on its website and app.

Whether Mahzooz could ever come back is a separate question, covered in will Mahzooz or Emirates Draw return to the UAE?. As of November 2026, nothing on Mahzooz's own channels suggests a return.

Is Emirates Draw still working?

Not in the UAE. Emirates Draw told Khaleej Times in December 2024 that it had "shifted our focus to international markets", reaching "participants in over 175 countries", and that it now operates "exclusively in the digital space". It also said UAE residents "can no longer access the Emirates Draw website or participate in its draws". Khaleej Times reported that the brand operates under a company called Tycheros.

If you live in the UAE and find a way to play Emirates Draw anyway, you are using a product the operator itself says is not offered here, outside the GCGRA's licensed framework.

Why do people still search for Mahzooz?

Mahzooz was a habit for a lot of people. Its app described a weekly live show on Saturday nights, and the site's totals (more than 2.1 million winners) show how widely it was played. Searches for "Mahzooz draw", "Mahzooz app" and "Mahzooz results" still appear in this site's own Google search data in late 2026, almost three years after the last show.

The trouble is who answers those searches. Results-aggregator sites and unofficial apps often keep pages alive for brands that no longer exist, because the traffic is still there. A page that looks like a Mahzooz results table tells you nothing about whether a draw happened. The official site's own archive is the reference, and it stops at Episode 161.

Where can you play a legal draw in the UAE instead?

Three operators run legal draws in 2026:

Draw — Operator status — Schedule

  • The UAE Lottery (Lucky Day) — GCGRA lottery licence, The Game LLC — Wednesday and Saturday at 9.30pm; next Wednesday 11 November
  • Big Ticket — Allowed to continue under GCGRA regulation — 3 December 2026, 7.30pm (Series 293, Dh25m)
  • Dubai Duty Free — Allowed to continue under GCGRA regulation — Not announced when we checked on 4 November: Series 563 sold out, date "to be announced"

Our UAE draw calendar for November and December 2026 lists every expected date, and UAE Lottery results for October 2026 covers the latest Lucky Day numbers.

Former Mahzooz players should know that these draws work differently. The UAE Lottery's Lucky Day is a number-matching game with a Dh50 entry and published odds, while Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free are raffles costing Dh500 (VAT included) and Dh1,000 plus 5% VAT (Dh1,050) a ticket. None of them returns more than it takes in on average. Set a limit before you play and keep to it.

FAQ

Where can I check Mahzooz results? There are no new results to check. The last Mahzooz draw was Episode 161 on 30 December 2023, and mahzooz.ae keeps an archive of past shows for information only.

Is the Mahzooz app still available? Yes, the official app by EWINGS LLC is still listed on Apple's App Store, but its latest update (5.0.1, September 2025) says Mahzooz "has permanently ceased operations". It cannot buy tickets or show new draws.

Is there a Mahzooz draw this Saturday? No. Mahzooz has held no draw since 30 December 2023.

Is Emirates Draw still working in the UAE? No. Emirates Draw said in December 2024 that UAE residents can no longer access its website or take part in its draws. It operates only in international markets.

Why did lotteries stop in the UAE? A nationwide pause from 1 January 2024 halted Mahzooz and Emirates Draw while the country moved to one licensed lottery. The licence went to The Game LLC, operator of The UAE Lottery, in July 2024. Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free were allowed to continue.

What replaced Mahzooz? Nothing directly. The UAE Lottery is now the only licensed lottery, with Lucky Day draws every Wednesday and Saturday.
