Big Ticket Abu Dhabi winner vows not to touch his share of Dh25M for 10 yrs

For Mohammed Rizwan CK, a 36-year-old Indian expat living in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, winning a share of the Dh25 million Big Ticket jackpot has brought joy, but he doesn’t have a single plan for spending the money.

Instead, he has made one firm decision —he will not touch his portion of the money for at least 10 years.

Rizwan, originally from Kochi in Kerala, works as a health and safety officer on oil rigs in Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia. He was one of the 16 participants who contributed to the winning Big Ticket purchased by his colleague Rajan. While many win-

ners speak about new homes, cars, or travel, Rizwan has no such ideas. For him, the winnings are strictly a retirement fund.
