Filipina Expat Wins Twice In One Night With Mahzooz!

Dubai resident and Filipina expat Wendy was one of five lucky winners to take home AED 200,000 each in the 25^th weekly live Mahzooz draw. The lucky participants matched five out of six numbers and shared the AED 1 million second prize. However, there was an extra stroke of luck for Wendy as she had a second entry to the draw that matched four out of six numbers and scored her an extra AED 1,000.

“I’ve been participating from the very beginning along with my brother,” said the 41-year-old office manager. “I was driving with my friend during the draw and asked my brother to check the numbers for me. He mentioned I got four out of six. I was shocked and ecstatic to win the 1,000 dirhams.”

Then came the twist.

“As I was celebrating, my friend mentioned that on my other entry, I matched five numbers,” recalled Wendy. “I had to pull the car over to go online and check the results. I started crying and thinking to myself ‘is this really happening, is this really true’.”

For Wendy, calling this turn events life changing is an understatement.

“This money changes everything for me and my family. I can finally bring my daughter here from the Philippines,” said Wendy, who hasn’t seen her 8-year-old daughter in over two years due to Covid-related travel restrictions. “I usually go back once a year but with Covid-19 restrictions, I haven’t been able to go back the past two years.”

In addition to reuniting with her daughter, Wendy has earmarked this money to help her family.

“I will buy a house in the Philippines for my family, and I will give some money to my mom,” said Wendy, who lives with her mother and brother.

Wendy, her family, and their enduring positivity are proof that good things happen.

“We felt very good and positive about the numbers we chose last week. Everyday we’d say around the house ‘don’t worry we’re going to win Mahzooz this week’,” said Wendy. “And we did.”

Additionally, the 25^th Mahzooz draw featured four other big five out of six winners, all of whom took home their share of the AED 1 million second prize – AED 200,000 each. The winners were:

Suresh, 42, an Indian expat living in Oman: “This is all very exciting. With this money, I am going to buy a new house for my family in Kerala. The key is to participate – today I’m the winner, tomorrow it could be you.”

Sivakumar, 47, an Indian expat living in Abu Dhabi: “I am very happy and grateful for Mahzooz. Now I can repay my home loan and put money aside for my kids’ future education.”

Noushad, 44, an Indian expat living in Oman: “This luck came to me at the perfect time. I started building my house in Kerala but then, due to Covid-19, my finances took a hit and I had to stop. Now I can finish what I started. You should always be positive and keep trying. Luck will come to you one day.”

Vasu, 57, an Indian expat living in Dubai: “The best part of this win is that it’s shared. I am happy but so are other people, which is great.”
