Remember Sriram Rajagopalan? The retired Indian expat engineer who made headlines after winning a staggering Dh100 million in the Emirates Draw MEGA7? He matched all seven numbers, an almost impossible feat he calls nothing short of a miracle.

Rajagopalan, 56, a father of two, spent about 23 years working across the Gulf, including stints in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait.

"I heard about Emirates Draw through friends and did a Google search," he said. "I love participating in these draws. For the past three years, I have been participating," he told Emirates Draw in an interview.
