Filipina expat becomes AED 10,000,000 richer overnight with Mahooz

Arlene is the first Pinay multi-millionaire ever to win Mahzooz’s top prize

At the 117th Super Saturday draws, fortune has radically transformed the status of a 40-year-old Filipina expat to a multi-millionaire, thanks to Mahzooz, the UAE’s leading weekly live draw with the biggest and most frequent payout.

With this latest win, Mahzooz, which has given away more than AED 376,000,000 in prize money over two years, would celebrate its 32nd millionaire, five Filipinos.

Arlene, who has been calling Abu Dhabi home for the past 12 years, saw luck finally smile at her when her husband’s five numbers earned her AED 10,000,000. Her lucky numbers were 9, 10, 13, 28, and 29, and these numbers hold significance in Arlene’s life as they are all family and personal occasions related.

Despite not having a fixed income, the freelance sales promoter and her hardworking merchandiser husband are the main breadwinners of her family and her in-laws.

Being in charge of bringing in the lion’s share of income to financially support both families, Arlene sees this unexpected windfall as an overwhelmingly welcome gift from God, which left her stupefied.

Upon learning of her newfound fortune, an emotional Arlene said, “I have not been able to sleep for two days after hearing my husband tell me about the email I got from Mahzooz informing me of my win. I only had 17 AED in my bank account, and my husband went out and deposited an additional AED 20 into my account so that I could purchase the last week’s bottle of water for AED 35. Even when my husband selected the numbers as he always does, I was only hoping to win the AED 100,000; I was shocked when I saw the email stating I won the “AED 10,000,000 grand prize”. I counted the zeros so many times.

While still contemplating how to utilize the money diligently, Arlene is sure that together with her husband, they would like to use the prize money to build two houses for their respective families and give a part of it to charities back home, delivering on her promise to God.

“Filipinos come second in both participation and winners in Mahzooz, as around 50,000 winners have cashed about AED 62,000,000 in total prizes over the past two years. Between 2021 and 2022, four winners from the Philippines became millionaires and began living the good life Mahzooz offers. We are thrilled to welcome another woman to our millionaire league, especially after the three Filipino women raffle draws winners we had last week.”, says Farid Samji, CEO of EWINGS, and Managing Operator of Mahzooz, while addressing the media guests at the press conference organized to introduce the new winner.

The 117th Super Saturday Draws saw 1,345 participants cashing AED 11,756,050 in total prize money. The second prize of AED 1,000,000 went to 38 winners who matched four out of five numbers, taking home AED 26,315 each. Furthermore, 1,303 winners matched three out of five numbers and won AED 350 each. Like every week, three raffle draw winners earned AED 100,000 each.
