  • Fourth Indian In Row To Win $2.7 Million Raffle Draw In Abu Dhabi

An Indian expatriate in UAE has won a whopping $2.7 million in the Big Ticket Abu Dhabi raffle draw, becoming the fourth Indian to have won it in a row.

Ravindra Boloor was declared the winner in the draw that was held at the Abu Dhabi International Airport on Wednesday, Khaleej Times reported.
