UAE Lottery Quick 5 Explained: How to Play, Ticket Price and Prizes

Last updated: 24 July 2026

Quick 5 is the fast-draw numbers game The UAE Lottery launched on 13 February 2026: tickets from Dh2, a new draw every two minutes and prizes worth up to 550 times your entry. It is an online-only game on the licensed lottery platform run by The Game LLC — and it is still running, with a draw shown on the operator's official results page as recently as 23 July 2026.

Key takeaways

• Quick 5 launched on 13 February 2026, reported the same day by Gulf News and Khaleej Times.
• Tickets start at Dh2; each draw picks five numbers from 1 to 11, every two minutes.
• Two play types: ANY (match in any order) and EXACT (up to three numbers in the exact order drawn).
• Prizes run from 3x to 550x the entry — up to Dh1,100 on a Dh2 play.
• You must be 18 or older and physically in the UAE; the game is GCGRA-licensed.

What is Quick 5?

Quick 5 sits at the rapid end of The UAE Lottery's online portfolio. Where the flagship Lucky Day draw runs twice a week, Quick 5 produces a fresh result every two minutes. Each round is independent: five numbers are drawn at random from 1 to 11, and entries for the next round open as soon as the current one closes. At launch the operator pitched it as a numbers-based companion to Color Prediction, the Dh1 game with draws every minute.

How to play Quick 5

Entries are placed on the UAE Lottery website before the two-minute countdown ends. There are two play types:

• ANY — your selected numbers match the drawn numbers in any order.
• EXACT — you pick up to three numbers and they must match in the exact order drawn.

EXACT is the harder bet, so it pays more per dirham; ANY trades a lower return for a better chance of hitting. You can join multiple rounds in a row or use Easy Pick for automatically selected numbers. The full prize table per play type has not been published in press coverage, so check the game page itself before playing.

Ticket price and prizes

Tickets start at Dh2. The advertised top prize is 550 times the entry amount — Dh1,100 on a minimum-price play — and the operator's results page lists the winning range as 3x to 550x. Prizes scale with the ticket price.

These are modest, frequent wins rather than life-changing jackpots; the Dh30 million prizes belong to Lucky Day. For the big-draw numbers and odds, see our report on draw 260718.

Who can play, and is it legal?

Quick 5 is legal because The UAE Lottery is licensed. The Game LLC holds the UAE's first lottery licence from the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the federal regulator — covered in our profile of The Game LLC. Both launch reports stressed the game is fully approved and regulated by the GCGRA.

The eligibility rules come from the operator's terms: players must be at least 18 and physically located in the UAE. That is a location test, not a residency test — visitors can legally play while in the country, as our guide on whether tourists can gamble in the UAE explains.

One caution. A draw every two minutes means up to 30 draws an hour, so playing every round at the minimum stake costs Dh60 an hour; our explainer on responsible gaming rules covers the limit-setting tools. And treat offshore apps mimicking this format with suspicion — unlicensed gaming is illegal in the UAE.
