About Emirates Loto (Mahzooz)

Now renamed Mahzooz, Emirates loto is one of the leading and most popular weekly lottery schemes of UAE. Introduced in 2021 by Ewings CEO Farid Samji, it’s a unique digital raffle system that helps individuals win millions of dirhams while contributing back to the community. 

You enter the draw by buying water bottles that are donated to the areas facing water shortage challenges. As a result, you get a chance to change your life while making a positive impact on society. The whole process is designed in compliance with the Islamic Shariah, with a primary objective of transforming the lives of the less fortunate, thereby giving a rewarding experience to everyone involved. 

How Emirate Loto Mahzooz Draws Work/How Winners are Selected? 

There are two main kinds of draws under Mahzooz Saturday Millions. Grand and Raffle.  

Participants aged above 18 buy 35 AED tickets in the form of water bottles either online or in stores and choose any five numbers from 1 to 49 in a line to enter the draws. The draws are then held live every Saturday at 9 PM (UAE Standard Time), and lucky winners are announced. 

Grand draw winners are selected using mechanical machines mixing the numbered ball sets randomly. If the numbers you picked while purchasing the ticket match the drawn ball numbers, you win cash prizes. The amount of cash prize depends on how many drawn balls correspond to your selected digits. Those with all correct predictions get the grand prize of 20 million AED. 

Raffle Draws, also known as tiple 100 raffle, picks 3 guaranteed winners every Saturday based on Raffle IDS. Each participant gets a unique raffle ID number against his ticket line when he enters the draw. The winning IDs are selected using a random number generator, and each one gets 100,000 AED cash as a reward.
