Many people dream of winning a big prize without doing much, and for one man, that dream actually came true. Sanjeev, an Indian living in Abu Dhabi, won a whopping Dh50,000 (about ₹11 lakh) in a lucky draw. But here’s the twist: he had no idea.

The prize came from the Big Ticket weekly e-draw, a popular lottery in Abu Dhabi. When Sanjeev’s ticket number 275-236701 was drawn, the hosts, Richard and Boushra, tried to call him many times over three days. But no answer as reported by Gulf News.

Dream come true—but he didn’t even know

Turns out, Sanjeev had entered the wrong phone number when he bought his ticket. That small mistake meant he didn’t get any of the calls. He only found out he won when the organisers finally emailed him.

Luckily, Sanjeev still got his prize. But this story shows how even a small error can nearly cost you something big. Always double-check your details; you never know when luck might strike.
