Anilkumar told the media, “When I got the call, I thought someone was joking. I asked him to repeat the news several times. When I understood the truth, I could not express it in words. This victory is beyond my dreams. It is still difficult to believe that all this has happened to me.”

Anilkumar is from India

Anilkumar is originally from India and has been living and working in Abu Dhabi for many years. According to him, he often bought lottery tickets but never thought that he would win such a huge amount.
