The fortunes of a Kerala man changed overnight on Tuesday after he won ₹13 crore in a raffle in Abu Dhabi.
Tojo Mathew, 30, of Kuttanad won 7 million Dirham on a ticket (number 075171) he had purchased at Big Ticket raffle with the help of his friends. Tojo, who was working as a civil supervisor in Abu Dhabi for the past six years, had resigned from his job recently.
He had bought the ticket at the Abu Dhabi airport just before he boarded a flight to India on June 24. The ticket was bought in his name and 18 of his friends pooled their money for the ticket.
Tojo’s mother Kunjamma Mathew said, “I have three sons Tijo (an auto driver), Tojo and Titto (civil supervisor in Abu Dhabi). All of them are married. Tojo always wanted to construct a new home here, but he did not have money. On Tuesday, I told my husband Mathew VJ, a Gulf returnee, that Tojo’s dream can be fulfilled if he won a lottery and it came true. It is god’s grace and I don’t have words to thank him.” Nine others won 100,000 dirhams ($27,000) at the draw. Earlier, an Indian driver in Dubai had won 12 million dirhams in a raffle draw in Abu Dhabi in April.
