Bollywood producer wins ₹8 crore after 25 years of lottery persistence
A 79-year-old Bollywood producer has won ₹8 crore in Dubai's famous Millennium Millionaire draw. Rajan Lall, who has bought lottery tickets for 25 years, finally struck gold with a ticket purchased at Dubai International Airport. His win highlights how persistence can lead to life-changing moments.
Lall arrived in the UAE in 1971 with just 90 Dirhams in his pocket. Over the decades, he built a career in the film industry, working hard to establish himself as a producer. Despite his success, he continued buying lottery tickets, hoping for a big win.
The Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire draw is one of the world's most popular lotteries. Each year, over 1.4 million people enter by purchasing tickets at Dubai International Airport. Winners often come from the UAE, India, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the US.
Lall's winning ticket, number 3099 in Series 535, was bought just before a flight to Mumbai. His long wait finally ended when his numbers were drawn, securing him the massive jackpot.
The ₹8 crore prize marks a major turning point for Lall after years of trying his luck. His story adds to the draw's reputation for transforming lives with a single ticket. The win also serves as a reminder of how long-term dedication can sometimes lead to extraordinary rewards.
