UAE Lottery Draw 260718: Two Players Take Dh100,000 as the Dh30m Jackpot Rolls to Wednesday

Last updated: 19 July 2026

Key takeaways

Winning numbers for Draw 260718: Days 13, 8, 10, 30, 31, 22 and Months 2, in the order drawn.
Two tickets matched five Days numbers plus the Months number to win Dh100,000 each.
The Dh30m jackpot and the Dh5m second prize both rolled over to Wednesday 22 July.
A rollover here means the same Dh30m is offered again. The top prize does not grow between draws.
Calculated jackpot odds are 1 in 8,835,372; the Dh100,000 tier sits at roughly 1 in 58,902, and it paid out twice on Saturday.
Lucky Day now runs twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8.30pm UAE time.

The winning numbers

Here is how Saturday's draw fell, in the order the balls came out:

Section — Winning numbers

Days (six from 1 to 31) — 13, 8, 10, 30, 31, 22
Months (one from 1 to 12) — 2

Who won what

A pair of tickets matched five of the six Days numbers along with the Months number (5+1) to land the Dh100,000 third prize. The game rules cap this tier at 150 winners per draw, so with only two qualifying entries both players collect the full amount.

Three more tickets won Dh50,000 each via the Lucky Chance ID raffle, which guarantees three winners in every draw. The winning IDs were:

CD5467064
CS6980871
CZ7657185

Every Lucky Day entry generates a Lucky Chance ID automatically at purchase, so the raffle winners needed to match nothing at all.

Nobody matched all six Days numbers, which left the Dh30 million jackpot (six Days plus Months) and the Dh5 million second prize (six Days, any Months miss) unclaimed.

"What a night of winning moments! Congratulations to all our Lucky Day winners for tonight's draw," said show host Diala Makki during the live broadcast.

One housekeeping rule worth knowing: an entry can win only one prize per draw, the highest it qualifies for, although a Lucky Chance raffle win can be collected on top of a main-draw prize.

The rollover, minus the myth

Both top prizes move across to the next draw on Wednesday 22 July at 8.30pm. One point is worth spelling out, because plenty of readers assume otherwise: a rolled-over jackpot in this game does not get bigger. The UAE Lottery simply offers the same fixed Dh30 million again. There is no progressive pot quietly inflating between draws, as you would see in EuroMillions.

Should more than one ticket ever match all seven numbers, the Dh30m is split equally between the winners, and the Dh5m second prize works the same way under rules introduced with the December 2025 revamp.

Draws ran weekly on Saturdays after that revamp; the schedule has since doubled to twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with ticket sales pausing on draw evenings while the live show airs. The jackpot has been won once under the current format, in Draw 260527 on the Eid Al Adha Wednesday draw in May, when a player identified by the operator as Tayab K** matched all seven numbers.

What are the actual odds?

Most draw coverage stops at the winning numbers. Here is what the maths says about your Dh50, calculated from the published game matrix: six Days numbers from 31 multiplied by one Months number from 12 gives 736,281 × 12, which is 8,835,372 possible combinations per entry.

Prize tier — You must match — Prize — Calculated odds

Jackpot — 6 Days + Months — Dh30m (split if multiple winners) — 1 in 8,835,372
Second — 6 Days, Months misses — Dh5m (split if multiple winners) — 1 in 803,216
Third — 5 Days + Months — Dh100,000 — 1 in 58,902
Fourth — 5 Days only — Dh1,000 — 1 in 5,355
Fourth — 4 Days + Months — Dh1,000 — 1 in 1,963
Fifth — Months-led combinations (3+1 down to 0+1) — Dh100 — 1 in 12.1 (published)

The fourth tier combines both rows above, which is why the published odds of winning Dh1,000 land at 1 in 1,437. Add every prize-winning combination together and roughly one entry in 12 wins something, though the great majority of those wins are the Dh100 fifth prize.

Some honest context is due. The published game rules put the average return to player at 48.80 per cent plus the Lucky Chance prizes, so around Dh24.40 of every Dh50 entry comes back to players as prizes over time. And the third prize that paid out twice on Saturday is about a 1-in-59,000 shot per entry: rare enough to make the news, common enough that it happens.

Lucky Chance odds are a different beast. Three winners are guaranteed every draw, so your chances depend on how many entries were sold, a figure the operator does not publish. Fewer entries sold would mean better odds for the same Dh50,000, but there is no way to know.

For comparison, the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire takes the opposite approach: each series is capped at 5,000 tickets at Dh1,000 each for a US$1 million top prize, roughly a 1-in-5,000 chance if the series sells out. Long odds on a Dh50 entry versus short odds on a Dh1,000 ticket is a genuine choice between two products, not a clever way to beat the maths. Our UAE Lottery vs Big Ticket vs Dubai Duty Free comparison breaks down all three.

Play for fun, not for income

Lotteries are entertainment with a price tag. The maths favours the operator on every entry, so decide what you can comfortably spend before the draw, treat it as the cost of a night out, and stop there. Our guide to responsible gaming rules in the UAE has practical limits and support contacts.

FAQs

What are the odds of winning the Dh30m jackpot? One in 8,835,372 per entry, calculated from the six-from-31 plus one-from-12 game matrix. You are roughly eleven times more likely to hit the Dh5m second prize, at 1 in 803,216.

Does the jackpot grow if nobody wins? No. The same Dh30 million is offered again at the next draw. This is a fixed jackpot that rolls over, not a progressive one that builds.

How much is a UAE Lottery ticket? Dh50 per entry, including 5 per cent VAT.

When is the next draw? Wednesday 22 July 2026 at 8.30pm UAE time. Lucky Day draws run twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

What is the Lucky Chance ID? A code generated automatically with every entry, made of two letters followed by seven digits. Three IDs are drawn as guaranteed winners of Dh50,000 each in every draw, on top of the main game.

Can tourists play the UAE Lottery? The operator states that only UAE residents aged 18 and over can play and claim prizes. Visitors do have other licensed options in the emirates, and our guide to whether tourists can gamble in the UAE sets out the position.
