Indian Expat Wins Over ₹240 Crore in UAE Lottery, Plans Wise Investments
An Indian expatriate in Abu Dhabi, Anilkumar Bolla, won the UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw, taking home AED 100 million (over ₹240 crore). He chose the winning numbers based on his mother’s birthday and described the moment as “surreal.” Bolla said he intends to invest the prize wisely, focusing on meaningful opportunities for his family rather than luxury spending. Since the draw was held in the UAE, his winnings are tax-free, unlike in India, where such a prize would be heavily taxed. The announcement has triggered widespread reactions online, with many netizens expressing surprise and envy at the significant tax advantage of winning abroad. Bolla’s story highlights both the life-changing potential of lotteries and the differences in tax policies between countries.
