The UAE Lottery Delivers a Dream Come True: Father Wins AED 30 Million with Family Birthdays

Sunil Kumar Sadasivan, a 52-year-old maintenance technician from Kerala, India, has become the second-ever AED 30 million Grand Prize winner of The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw, after choosing numbers tied to the three dates that matter most to him: his own birthday, and those of his wife and daughter.

Rather than picking numbers at random, Sunil Kumar decided to let love guide his choice this time. “I thought, why not use the dates that matter most to me? I started with my daughter’s birthday, then added mine, then my wife’s birthday,” he said.

That decision, made on a Wednesday with a friend he’d only recently started playing alongside, delivered the AED 30 million Grand Prize. Their first Wednesday ticket had won a modest AED 100 the week before; encouraged, they tried again, and the second ticket changed everything.

The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw continues to create such moments for players across the country, with a fresh AED 30 million Grand Prize and AED 5 million Second Prize on offer every Wednesday and Saturday.

The Unexpected Moment

Sunil Kumar discovered the win while unwinding in his room after a work shift. “I checked my phone around 9:45 pm, after the draw. I had only expected a small prize. When I saw the winning numbers, I was in complete shock.”

Struggling to believe what he was seeing, he rushed to show a friend the ticket. Once it sank in that the win was real, the first person he called was his wife. “My wife has no big desires — her wish has always been to live an ordinary life. When we won this amount, she asked, ‘What will we do?’ We come from an ordinary family, so we believe we should do whatever we can for other people,” said Sunil Kumar.

For Sunil Kumar, that single phone call captured exactly why The UAE Lottery continues to resonate with players across the country, not just the chance to win, but the possibility of an entirely different life for the people they love most.

A Father’s Dream Comes True

His daughter, now seven, was born after 12 years of hope and costly treatment that left the family in financial difficulties, making the numbers tied to her birth, deeply personal to this win.”

If my daughter is watching this, I want her to know that her father and mother have lived and waited for her. My biggest dream is to educate my daughter and see her become a doctor one day.” said Sunil Kumar.

For Sunil Kumar, the win is about far more than the prize money; it’s about creating joyful moments for the family he has worked so hard to support. “Once I get the money, first I’ll go and buy a gift for my daughter,” he said, reflecting on the simple but meaningful way he hopes to celebrate this milestone with his family.

A Win with Lasting Impact

With the win behind him, Sunil Kumar now plans to complete the construction of his family home, and take a well-earned step back from work. “I’ve worked since I was young. Now, I’ll take some rest.”

But his plans extend beyond his own household. “There are a few people I know who don’t have homes, and I would like to build houses for them.”

It’s a sentiment that reflects The UAE Lottery’s own commitment to the community, with every draw creating incredible moments not just for winners, but for the people around them. “The UAE Lottery is a trustworthy platform. We can’t be sure when the opportunity comes, so everyone should give it a try,” Sunil Kumar said.

Lucky Day Draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 9:30 PM, giving players the chance to win the AED 30 million Grand Prize, the AED 5 million Second Prize, and three guaranteed AED 50,000 Lucky Chance prizes — every draw.
