Sasidharan Pallikandy, a retired IT engineer with two children from Chennai, India, had entered the Emirates Draw for more than one year. The draw’s outcome changed his life when he made a solo entry into the competition without friends by his side.
The moment I checked the winning numbers 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 28 on the screen I became immobile. I needed to reload the page multiple times until I accepted that I had won.

Sasidharan spent surreal days after his win. The news of Emirates Draw official confirmation made him feel so shocked that he remained awake through the entire night.

Giving back: What does he plan to do next
Sasidharan maintains his humble nature despite receiving a large sum of money. He plans to use his newfound wealth to pay his debts before securing his children’s education and establishing a charitable organization in India.
He stated with modesty that the money serves a purpose beyond his personal gain.
