Mahzooz, the UAE's Dh50 million weekly draw, is back and here's how to play it

After a four-month hiatus, the UAE's official loto will resume its weekly draws with a grand prize of Dh50 million under the new name, Mahzooz.

The draws will take place every Saturday and will be live streamed on its website at 9pm. The entry price for each game is still Dh35.

Those who match six numbers will share a cash prize of at least Dh50m, up Dh15m from the previous jackpot.

Winners who match five numbers will be able to claim a share of Dh1m, which might increase depending on how many players there are.

Those who match four numbers will earn a cash prize of Dh1,000, compared with Dh300 in previous rounds. And players who match three numbers will receive Dh35 or a free play.

The raffle, which held its inaugural draw on April 18, was postponed on July 18 just hours before its live evening draw.

Organisers said the decision was made to upgrade the customer experience.

As part of the new game, players will now be able to play for future draws rather than just the upcoming draw for that week.

They can register on mahzooz.ae and its smartphone application, Mahzooz, which will be available on iOS and Android soon.

A new e-wallet system has also been added to the digital platform where players can top up their account for future draws.

Teresa Starr, co chief executive of Ewings, operator of the lottery, said the new online platform provided a more seamless customer journey.

"Many people asked why we took a pause," she said. "There were a number of factors at play, from system design to technical and operational aspects.

"We got feedback from customers and asked what we could do differently to make the experience better and we came back strong."

As before, Mahzooz is open to anyone over the age of 18.

The draw was originally introduced to UAE audiences in April and 47,500 players shared cash prizes of more than Dh14.6m.

At the time of the postponement, no one had scooped the top prize, which had rolled over to Dh50m.

What does Mahzooz mean?

Mahzooz is Arabic for fortunate.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
