Kannan who works as a private chef in Abu Dhabi has been buying lottery tickets for 24 years. This is the second time he won the lottery after bagging a cash prize back in 1998. Kannan had bought his ticket on February 22.
Kannan’s friend Abdul Majeed said told Khaleej Times, “I have been sharing tickets almost every month with Saidali for the last 20 years. I believe he’s very lucky. I have been doing this for a very long time. And it has finally paid off.”

We took the ticket under the ‘buy two and get one free’ offer. Each person pooled 100 dirhams. The ticket was taken in my name on June 29,” Somarajan said.
