Meet the man, who converted AED15 to AED15 million in a week only

Ajay Ogula, an Indian national Dubai expat, made history with an unparalleled rags-to-riches story by becoming the first to win the epic AED 15 million Grand Prize of Emirates Draw EASY6. The 31-year-old Indian national hailing from a village in Telangana, had come to the UAE four years ago to pursue a better life. As the eldest child, he felt obligated to support his family, including an ageing mother and two younger siblings who reside in an old, rented house. Since his arrival to the UAE Ajay has been putting long hard hours as a driver for a jewellery establishment.

“During a random conversation with my boss, I mentioned reading about someone winning a handsome amount with Emirates Draw, to which my boss advised that you keep wasting money here and there, so why not use it instead on an opportunity like this,” Ajay narrates with gratitude. Following his employer’s advice, Ajay installed the Emirates Draw mobile app and purchased two tickets for his first-ever participation with Emirates Draw EASY6, which turned his life around. “I was out with my friend when I received the congratulatory email. I thought, perhaps it’s a smaller winning amount, but when I started reading, the zeroes kept adding up, and I practically lost my mind when I learned the final figure,” Ajay says, reliving the excitement. Ajay’s employer and colleagues greeted him with a bouquet upon learning of his win, while his family had a hard time believing him. “Even I was only able to digest the news after visiting the Emirates Draw office and meeting the team to finally come to terms with the win,” he adds.

Ajay plans first to invite his family to Dubai to give them a glimpse of life here in the UAE, and after that, he plans to build a house for his family in their village and start a construction company to become self-sufficient. He also forwards his employer’s advice to the rest of the world: “We are spending hundreds of dirhams on different things, place some of your money ‘For a Better Tomorrow’, and your life could change beyond expectations.” ‪@EmiratesDraw‬
