An Indian expat won 10 million dirhams ($2.7 million) in a raffle held in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Prashanth Pandarathil bought the ticket online on January 4. The second prize of 100,000 dirhams was only won by another Indian, Kuldeep Kumar, reports The Khaleej Times.
There were six Indians in the top 10 winning list.
