UAE.- The UAE Lottery<\/strong> has announced the appointment of former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee<\/strong> as its chief celebration officer, placing the cricket star at the centre of its winner and community engagement activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the newly created position, Lee will meet winners across The UAE Lottery\u2019s portfolio and learn how they intend to use their prizes. He will also take part in winner interviews, community appearances and fan engagement activities across the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role will see Lee share stories about winners and their experiences while promoting responsible participation. The UAE Lottery said his international sporting career, professionalism and sportsmanship were factors in selecting him for the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
