00:00This is my third ticket. Actually, I bought last March, then I lose it and again November

00:11I took. I lose it and December I took again because this is like, you know, positive approach.

00:17Everything you have to see positiveness, you know. If you are positive and if you are not,

00:23you know, give up, definitely, you know, you would be the winner. I can say like that.

00:28Not only this ticket, in your practical life. Actually, I was with one of my ex-colleagues,

00:33so we are having some brunch. So that time I got a call. I think it is 10.05 like that,

00:39okay. So this call, they are saying, are you excited? I said, what? I don't understand.

00:43So then they said, okay, you are the winner of this big ticket. I cannot believe. I said,

00:48you are pranking on me. No, no. Then I called my wife and I told, see, I won this ticket,

00:54but I am not sure. She said, no, no, you are pranking, like that. That was excitement.

00:59God's grace, you know, we got it. So this is, I cannot, you know, express you what excitement

01:05I have. A lot of people called me today. Actually, my friends and my, you know, colleagues, ex-colleagues,

01:10ex-bosses. Today was very good day for me because they called me and they just told,

01:16Hari, congratulations. So that is a good feeling I got.

01:20You know, I didn't believe it when he called me. I thought that he is just pranking on

01:24me and because I was not aware that he had seriously taken this ticket. I was blank,

01:30entirely blank. I mean, 12 million dirhams is a whole lot of money. And I was like, what

01:35to do and what to say? I don't know what to say. Everybody's asking me, what are you going

01:39to do with this money? And it's just, I've come to terms that we have received this much

01:44of money. I'm still, I'm stunned. Even now, if you ask me, I'm in a dream world. I don't

01:50believe that it's true. I thought she's gone crazy. I said, relax, take a seat. And we

01:55called all my colleagues and said, Nisha is going crazy. So let's get an ice bucket, drop

02:01on her head and speak to Hari first. Hari was not reachable. So after about an hour,

02:06then it was declared. After she checked the email, counter-checked the number, she confirmed,

02:10OK, everything is fine. Everybody's excited. We thought that we won the thing. We literally

02:16did not work today. The entire day, we just spent celebrating.

02:22I don't have much plans, you know, like, whatever money, it should be my family and for my retirement

02:27and my son's education.

02:29We would travel. That's what we do. We both like traveling. We are foodies. We like to

02:34try different type of cuisines. So that's what we'll do. We will go on, you know, on

02:39a blind vacation, we will go to places where we can get in without visas and then have

02:46a blast. That's what we'll do.

02:49Food, stuff. He has to give me his mobile. He has to give me my tab.
