A Filipino expatriate working as an emergency medical technician (EMT) in the UAE has struck gold—quite literally—after winning Dh100,000 in The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Chance draw.

Sherwin Rafael Trinidad, who has been serving as an EMT in Ajman for the past seven years, turned a casual Google search into a life-changing moment. “I discovered the UAE Lottery in a Google ad. I got interested, created an account, and finally, here I am now,” he shared in a video posted by the lottery organizers.

Trinidad’s journey to winning wasn’t overnight. He urged fellow participants not to lose hope. “I’ve been there before. I thought I would never win this amount,” he said. “But just keep on playing. Don’t lose hope.”

Plans for the Future

With the prize money, Trinidad plans to return to the Philippines to build his dream home and start a business. His vision, however, goes beyond personal gain. The selfless medic also expressed a deep desire to give back to the community, particularly to those facing health-related challenges.

“Definitely, I will build my dream house and dream business in the Philippines. I also want to help other people in need, especially those with medical needs,” he added.

A Growing Trend

Trinidad’s story is one of many in the UAE, where residents continue to test their luck through various digital lottery platforms. His win is not just a testament to luck but also to persistence, offering hope to thousands chasing similar dreams.

As digital draws gain momentum across the Emirates, stories like Trinidad’s highlight the possibilities—and inspire those still waiting for their lucky break.
