A lucky participant in the Mahzooz draw stands the chance of winning a grand prize of Dh50 million.

The 25th weekly draw took place on Saturday, with five winners sharing a Dh200,000 ($54,000) prize.

However, the mega prize is still up for grabs and could be won by an individual or shared by a group.

The next draw will take place on May 22 at 9pm. It will be live-streamed on Mahzooz's website and social media channels.

To participate in the draw, registrations can be made online.

Participants are required to buy a Dh35 bottle of water. Each bottle of water purchased provides eligibility for one line in the draw.

Entrants participate in an interactive live draw, where they match numbers and win prizes.

The water bottles collected by Mahzooz are donated to charity.

During the most recent draw, 165 people also won Dh1,000. The total prize money won in the draw was more than Dh1.2 million.

The winning numbers were 7, 17, 24, 31, 32 and 44.

In March, an Indian construction worker earning Dh3,000 won Dh2 million from a live draw held by Mahzooz.

Antony Joy, 39, told The National he would use the funds to pay off his bank loans and support his elderly parents.
