At the 138th weekly draw on Saturday 22 July 2023, John, a young Filipino expatriate, became the 8th Filipino Mahzooz billionaire by winning the GUARANTEED raffle prize of AED 1,000,000. The Filipino community was ecstatic.

The win makes John the 53rd millionaire to be crowned by Mahzooz, the UAE’s leading weekly draw, which has given away more than AED 427 million in prize money to over 250,000 winners to date 

Mahzooz has become the favoured weekly draw among Pinoys in the region, offering not only a chance to win life-changing prizes but also creating a sense of community and connection among overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the UAE, GCC, and beyond. To date, around 54,000 OFWs have been fortunate recipients of more than AED 67,000,000 through Mahzooz.

The lucky young winner came to the UAE 2 years ago to work alongside his mother as a filing clerk at his uncle’s laundry in Karama, Dubai. The 26 years old who participates in Mahzooz every week, was left speechless when he saw that his Mahzooz account has increased by AED 1,000,000 overnight. As John contemplates his future plans with the newfound fortune, he has expressed interest in investing in a laundry business in the UAE. While he hasn’t finalized the specifics, he is considering whether to expand his uncle’s existing laundry business or embark on a new venture in the same industry. Additionally, John plans to support his father’s farming business back home by sending some of the prize money to further enhance their family’s livelihood.

Filled with joy and gratitude, John conveyed his heartfelt sentiments about the life-changing win, “This is the first time I win anything in my entire life. Coming to the UAE was a huge step for me as I am the main bread winner for my large family. Now the UAE and Mahzooz have awarded me this huge prize which I still cannot fathom. My four brothers and two sisters are extremely happy for me and I am forever grateful for this huge win”.

On Saturday, 22 July 2023, 1278 winners were awarded a total of AED 1,511,750 in prize money. While the top prize of AED 20,000,000 went unclaimed this week, 30 participants matched four out of the following five numbers 3, 5, 11, 22, 48 and shared the second prize of AED 200,000, earning AED 6,667 each. 1,247 other winners matched three out of five numbers and received AED 250 each. 

For only AED 35, participants can purchase a bottle of Mahzooz water, and enter the weekly draw every Saturday consisting of the Grand Draw, for a chance to win the new top prize of AED 20,000,000 and the new weekly Raffle Draw, which will grant AED 1,000,000 every week to a GUARANTEED millionaire-to-be.
