‘I’m a millionaire in Dubai’: South African expat wins Dh5m in UAE Lottery, plans to invest in family’s future
Investing the entire amount
Rather than making luxury purchases, Tekram has bared that the family decided to invest the full prize amount.
“Financial stability has always been a priority for us. We decided to invest the entire amount rather than acting on immediate impulses. This allows us to rest in comfort knowing our family’s future is secure,” explained Tekram.
Part of the money will go towards a project being developed by his wife, whose patent application recently cleared a legal phase in the UAE.
‘Visualise it and really believe it’
Meanwhile, Tekram has highlighted that he often imagined winning and believed positive thinking played a role in his journey.
“It is important to always play responsibly and not let it consume you, that is where responsibility kicks in. Treat it as an exciting experience that can expand your opportunities when that day comes,” advised Tekram.
He has also recalled joking with his wife about what they would do if they ever won a major prize and often spoke openly about future plans.
“Seeing other people win gave me confidence and that belief helped me attract it into my life.”
