Mohammed Inam, a finance auditor based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, recently clinched the grand prize of Dh15 million in the Emirates Draw’s Easy6 game. The win catapults Inam into the elite circle of UAE millionaires, setting the stage for a transformative journey into the year 2024.
Dream Realized
For Inam, this windfall is not just a matter of financial prosperity but an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream – embarking on the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj. He describes it as “a spiritual odyssey of profound significance.” Originally hailing from Islamabad, Pakistan, Inam’s connection to the UAE has deep roots, making this achievement all the more meaningful.

Finance Auditor’s Humble Beginnings
Inam’s journey to millionaire status began in 2021 when he stumbled upon an advertisement for the Emirates Draw on social media. Despite working as a finance auditor in a private firm, Inam decided to try his luck with raffle tickets, and his persistence has now paid off handsomely. The journey from Islamabad to Abu Dhabi has been marked by dedication and a touch of serendipity.
Random Twist of Fate
In an unexpected turn of events, Inam revealed that his winning numbers were chosen without his usual methodical approach. “This is the only instance I randomly selected numbers by closing my eyes. I didn’t even know the numbers I picked. If I had seen them, I might not have participated with this selection, as I chose 14 and 15 consecutively,” he explained. Sometimes, it seems, fortune favors the bold and the spontaneous.
From Prank to Prosperity
Inam’s initial reaction to the life-changing call was one of disbelief. He dismissed it as a prank, a practical joke that seemed too good to be true. However, as reality sank in, Inam and his wife celebrated the newfound financial security, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
Immediate Plans
Addressing the immediate plans for his winnings, Inam shared that acquiring a family car is a priority. However, he emphasized that all other investments and expenses would be temporarily put on hold. The reason? Inam’s deep commitment to undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage with his family, an experience that goes beyond material wealth.
