A Pakistani labourer is on top of the world after winning Dh 100,000 (PKR 6.17 million) in the United Arab Emirates, a prize that can change the course of his life altogether.

The 36-year-old Pakistani was among the winners in the 108th Super Saturday draw held by Mahzooz. Khawar, a Pakistani who moved to Dubai six years ago, was watching the draw live on Saturday night when he saw his name on the screen.

The Pakistani draw winner works in a very physically demanding job, loading and offloading merchandise at a private company.

On the occasion, Khawar looked overjoyed and believed the prize was a blessing that had arrived at the right time. The winner expressed that he plans to use the money to start a clothing business in Pakistan and buy himself a new smartphone.

Besides Khawar, Kirill from Uzbekistan and Rowena from the Philippines also won a $100,000 prize each. The draw saw 22 winners share the second prize of Dh1 million, and 1,272 winners received Dh350 each.
