Big Ticket winner after 10 years of loyalty, Amit Tiwari finally struck luck during an innovative experience-based promotion at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Indian expatriate, who had purchased Big Ticket entries for a decade without success, won Dh20,000 during the Race and Luxury Yacht experience at Yas Marina Circuit. His winning ticket was selected by his daughter, whom he plans to gift the entire prize amount as a reward for her good fortune.
Decade-long journey to first victory
Tiwari’s 10-year Big Ticket participation journey exemplifies the patience and hope many expatriates maintain while pursuing life-changing lottery wins. His persistence finally paid off during this year’s Abu Dhabi F1 weekend, marking his inaugural victory after years of regular ticket purchases.
“I am feeling happy. I will give this money to my daughter,” Tiwari expressed moments after learning of his win, demonstrating the emotional connection many lottery participants maintain with family members who support their participation.
Innovative experience-based promotion debuts
This year, Big Ticket introduced a groundbreaking experience-based promotion for the first time, offering 30 winners the opportunity to claim cash prizes aboard a luxury yacht during two days of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit. This unique approach combines traditional lottery winnings with unforgettable luxury experiences, creating memorable moments extending beyond monetary prizes.
The promotion reimagines how lottery winners receive prizes by integrating them into premium event experiences rather than traditional claim procedures. Winners like Tiwari gained exclusive access to Formula One festivities while collecting their winnings in an elevated, celebratory atmosphere.
VIP treatment and hospitality
Big Ticket organizers flew Tiwari from India to Abu Dhabi to participate in the F1 celebrations, providing him with premium travel arrangements and accommodation. This white-glove treatment transformed his lottery win into a comprehensive travel experience combining racing excitement, luxury experiences, and prize collection.
Tiwari praised the organization’s exceptional hospitality throughout his visit: “I had an amazing time in Abu Dhabi.” He described both the Formula One event and the Big Ticket experience as “wonderful,” expressing gratitude for the team’s support.
Family-centered prize philosophy
Tiwari’s decision to gift his entire Dh20,000 prize to his daughter reflects values prioritizing family wealth distribution and rewarding his family’s participation in his lottery journey. His daughter’s role in selecting the winning ticket added meaningful family involvement to the victory celebration.
