UAE Lottery Next Draw Date: November and December 2026 Calendar for Lucky Day, Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free

Last updated: 6 November 2026

The UAE Lottery's next draw date after 6 November 2026 is Saturday 7 November, because The UAE Lottery runs its Lucky Day draw every Wednesday and Saturday at 9.30pm UAE time. Big Ticket's next live draw is on Thursday 3 December at 7.30pm, when Series 293 (Dh25 million) and a Nissan Patrol Dream Car are drawn. Dubai Duty Free has no date: its next Millennium Millionaire series is sold out with the draw date "to be announced". This page lists every date the three operators have published or fixed by rule for the rest of 2026, and flags the ones that are not confirmed.

Key takeaways

• The UAE Lottery Lucky Day: every Wednesday and Saturday at 9.30pm, which gives 16 draws between 7 November and 30 December 2026 if the pattern holds.
• Wednesday 2 December is UAE National Day. The UAE Lottery has not said whether that night's draw goes ahead as normal, so check before you rely on it.
• Big Ticket: Series 293 (Dh25m grand prize) and the Nissan Patrol Dream Car (Series 04) are drawn on 3 December at 7.30pm. The BMW M440i (Series 33) follows on 3 January 2027.
• Big Ticket's December sales close on 30 November: 23:45 online and 23:55 at counters, under its draw rules.
• Dubai Duty Free: no Millennium Millionaire date is published. Series 563 is sold out with its draw "to be announced", and DDF draws a series only once it sells out.

When is the next UAE Lottery draw?

Saturday 7 November 2026, at 9.30pm UAE time. Khaleej Times' results coverage states that "Lucky Day Draws are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 9.30pm", and Gulf News, reporting the 31 October draw, said the next one, on Wednesday 4 November, was "in line with the lottery's twice-weekly live programme".

The UAE Lottery does not publish a dated calendar for the year. The dates below follow its fixed Wednesday-and-Saturday rule, so treat them as the expected schedule rather than a list the operator has issued. For how the twice-weekly format came about and what happens on a draw night, see our UAE Lottery draw schedule explainer. For results already drawn, see UAE Lottery results for October 2026.

The draw numbers are our projection. Every October draw we checked used a six-digit year-month-day code: draw 261024 was held on 24 October 2026, and 261031 on 31 October.

Does the UAE Lottery draw on National Day?

The UAE Lottery has not said. UAE National Day, 2 December, falls on a Wednesday this year, which is a normal Lucky Day draw night. We found no announcement of a change, but also no confirmation that the draw will run as usual. If you hold a ticket for that night, check the results page on theuaelottery.ae or the operator's social channels in the days before.

The same caution applies to the end of the year. 30 December is a Wednesday and would be the last Lucky Day draw of 2026 under the normal schedule.

When is the next Big Ticket draw?

Thursday 3 December 2026 at 7.30pm. Big Ticket's site shows Series 293 with "Draw Date: 3rd Dec, 7:30 PM", and its draw rules fix the monthly draw at "7:30 PM (GST) on the 3rd of every month", streamed live on its website and YouTube channel.

Draw — Date and time — What is drawn

• Big Ticket Series 293 — 3 December 2026, 7.30pm — Dh25m grand prize; 3 Big Spin prizes of up to Dh1m; 5 × Dh100,000 consolation prizes
• Dream Car Series 04 — 3 December 2026, 7.30pm — Nissan Patrol
• Dream Car Series 33 — 3 January 2027, 7.30pm — BMW M440i

The Series 293 page also lists 4 weekly prizes of Dh25,000. Those come from Big Ticket's Weekly e-Draw, and the pages we read did not give dated slots for them, so they are not in this calendar.

The Big Ticket Series 292 result, drawn on 3 November, has the latest winner.

When do Big Ticket sales close for December?

On 30 November 2026. Under Big Ticket's rules, tickets for each monthly draw go on sale at 00:01 on the first day of the preceding month. Website sales close at 23:45 and counter sales at 23:55 on the last day of that month. So November is the sales month for the 3 December draw, and January's draw goes on sale on 1 December.

Dream Car tickets work differently. Each sales window lasts two calendar months, so tickets for two consecutive car draws are always on sale together, which is why the Nissan Patrol and the BMW can both be bought now. A standard ticket costs Dh500 and a Dream Car ticket Dh150, both including VAT. The current "Buy 2 tickets, Get 3 Free" banner appears on both the Big Ticket and Dream Car pages.

When is the next Dubai Duty Free draw?

DDF has not published one. On 4 November its Millennium Millionaire page showed Series 563 as "SOLD OUT" with "DRAW DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED". On the same day Series 564 had roughly 2,570 of its 5,000 tickets left and Series 565 roughly 4,370; those counts change through the day.

Dubai Duty Free draws a US$1 million series once all 5,000 tickets have sold, at Dubai International Airport. The National describes the usual rhythm as one draw every other Wednesday, but October showed the exceptions. DDF held draws on Wednesday 7 October and Wednesday 21 October, and then drew Series 562 on Friday 30 October. Our Dubai Duty Free October 2026 winners report covers all three.

So any DDF date in a calendar is a guess until DDF posts it. We have not projected one.

What about Mahzooz and Emirates Draw?

Neither has a UAE draw to put in a calendar. Mahzooz's website says the weekly draw "has permanently ceased operations". Emirates Draw told Khaleej Times in December 2024 that UAE residents "can no longer access the Emirates Draw website or participate in its draws". In the same month the GCGRA, the federal gaming regulator, named The UAE Lottery as the licensed lottery and allowed only Big Ticket and Dubai Duty Free to continue alongside it. Any app or website offering another "UAE draw" deserves suspicion: see our guide to fake UAE lottery and casino apps.

How to use this calendar sensibly

• Check results on the operator's site. Newspapers publish Lucky Day results within hours, but the official results page is the record a prize claim is checked against.
• Expect dates to slip. Big Ticket has moved draws before: its 2026 winners list shows Series 284 drawn on 4 March, not the 3rd.
• Set a budget before the date. A fixed calendar makes regular play easy. Twice-weekly Lucky Day draws at Dh50 a line add up fast, and none of these games returns more than it takes in on average.
