Dubai resident Zenn Ariane Garceles becomes the third AED 5 million winner in The UAE Lottery’s history
ABU DHABI, UAE, August 20, 2026: Another AED 5 million second prize has been claimed, marking the third time a player has taken home the extraordinary prize in The UAE Lottery’s history. This time, the winning ticket belongs to 38-year-old Zenn Ariane Garceles, a Philippine national residing in Dubai.
Garceles now joins an exclusive group of players who have each secured AED 5 million from The UAE Lottery, becoming the third to receive the same amount. Her story adds another memorable chapter to The UAE Lottery’s growing record of major payouts. The timing is particularly notable: following two AED 30 million grand prizes won just five weeks apart, another multimillion-dirham win has brought the combined value through these headline-making moments to an impressive AED 65 million within just three months. Since its launch, Lucky Day has awarded more than AED 280 million in prizes to winners, reflecting the scale of rewards available through the game.
A spokesperson for The UAE Lottery said: “It’s extraordinary to see another AED 5 million winner emerge after such an incredible run of major prizes. We are delighted to celebrate Zenn Ariane’s win and welcome her to the group of big winners from The UAE Lottery. Every winner brings a unique story, and we look forward to seeing what this remarkable prize means for her.”
Reflecting on the moment, Garceles recalls her immediate reaction: “I couldn’t even process it at first. I had to ask my husband how many zeros there were.”
It is a prize that marks a defining moment and opens the door to possibilities that are now hers to explore. Whether it means pursuing personal ambitions, supporting loved ones or planning for the years ahead, the next chapter is hers to write.
