A UAE resident, named as Tayab K, became the first Wednesday winner of the Dh30 million UAE Lottery jackpot.
The win marks only the second grand prize since the national lottery launched in December 2024, underscoring the rarity of top-tier winners.
The flagship draw reduced its top prize from Dh100 million to Dh30 million and moved to weekly Saturday draws under a revamp.
A new Wednesday game was introduced last month, creating twice-weekly opportunities and delivering a history-making midweek win.
