The Lucky Day draw gets a weekly schedule and prize-splitting framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

United Arab Emirates.- The UAE Lottery has rolled updated its Lucky Day draw with a new weekly format<\/strong>, new prize structure and revised rules on how jackpots and second-tier prizes are awarded. The changes, effective from tomorrow (December 6), come as the operator continues to expand its product portfolio following its first anniversary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky Day now has an AED30m (US$8,1m) jackpot and a AED5m (US$1,3m) second prize, both of which will be shared among winners if multiple tickets match required combinations. Previously, only the AED100m (US$27.2m) top prize was subject to splitting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draw now takes place every Saturday at 8.30pm UAE time instead of the previous biweekly schedule. Ticket sales pause for a brief 90-minute window ahead of the livestreamed draw and resume immediately afterwards. Players can buy entries for single or consecutive draws, with each AED50 (US$13) ticket generating a unique Lucky Chance ID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revamped format also introduces updated payout caps across lower tiers, including a AED100,000 (US$27,220) third-tier prize, AED1,000 (US$270) fourth-tier wins, and AED100 (US$27) for the most frequent outcomes. Each entry can win only one prize per draw, except when a player also wins the Lucky Chance raffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operator claims an average return-to-player rate of 42.62 per cent<\/strong> (excluding VAT). The adjustments aim to create more frequent wins and expand engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n
