Operated by The Game LLC under the oversight of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the UAE Lottery marks the first federally licensed lottery in the region. In addition to the grand prize, participants had the chance to win in the Lucky Chance category, with seven lucky winners taking home AED100,000 ($27,200) each.

As the country’s only regulated lottery operation, the UAE Lottery provides residents aged 18 and above various opportunities to win cash prizes. For the upcoming lottery draw on April 5, 2025, tickets are priced at AED50 ($13.60) each. Potential players can choose numbers from the “Days” section, which ranges from 1 to 31, representing their lucky days, while the number from the “Months” section indicates their lucky month.
To win the jackpot, ticket holders must match all seven numbers—six from the “Days” section and one from the “Months” section. In the event of multiple winners for the jackpot, the prize is split evenly among them. If a player matches all six numbers from the “Days” section, they win the second prize, while matching five numbers from the “Days” section plus one from the “Months” wins the third prize. Other prizes exist for various matches, significantly widening the playing field for aspiring winners.
