The UAE Lottery's first winner has been crowned. Mirza Omair Baig claimed a historic Dh100,000 prize using the Golden 7 Scratch Card — making him the inaugural "Winner Spotlight" of the UAE's only authorised lottery, operated by Game LLC and regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA).
