The UAE Lottery has officially launched as the country's first legally authorized prize system, giving residents a real shot at life-changing money. Managed by The Game LLC, it offers two distinct ways to play: the flagship Lucky Day draw with a Dh100 million jackpot, and a range of instant-win scratch cards starting at just Dh5.
How the UAE Lottery Works
The lottery currently runs two games, each with its own ticket price, prize structure, and odds of winning.
Lucky Day — The Dh100 Million Draw
Lucky Day is the main event. A ticket costs Dh50, and players select six numbers from the "Days" section and one number from the "Months" section.
To win the jackpot, you must match all seven numbers drawn. Prizes for partial matches range from Dh100 up to Dh1 million:
- Jackpot (Dh100 million): Match all 7 numbers — odds: 1 in 8,835,372 - Second Prize (Dh1 million): Match 6 numbers — odds: 1 in 803,216 - Third Prize (Dh100,000): Match 5 Days numbers + 1 Month — odds: 1 in 58,902
Draws take place twice a week, every Saturday at 8:30 PM. Tickets must be purchased before 7 PM on draw day. Each ticket can win only one prize per draw, with higher prizes taking precedence.
Lucky Chance — A Bonus Draw
Every Lucky Day ticket comes with a unique Lucky Chance ID, automatically entering the holder into a separate secondary draw. In the first Lucky Chance event on December 14, seven winners will each receive Dh100,000.
UAE Lottery Scratch Cards: Instant Prizes
For players who prefer instant results, the UAE Lottery scratch cards deliver prizes on the spot. Cards are available at four price points:
| Card Price | Top Prize |
|---|---|
| Dh5 | Dh50,000 |
| Dh10 | Dh100,000 |
| Dh20 | Dh300,000 |
| Dh50 | Dh1 million |
The scratch cards offer far better overall odds than the jackpot draw, making them a popular choice for casual players.
How to Buy UAE Lottery Tickets
Tickets for both games are available exclusively through the official online platform at theuaelottery.ae. Players are encouraged to review the full rules and prize tables on the site before participating.
Whether you are aiming for the Dh100 million Lucky Day jackpot or testing your luck with a Dh5 scratch card, the UAE Lottery offers a regulated, accessible way to play for life-changing prizes.
