Abu Dhabi: Leena Jelal, hailing from Anjangadi near Chavakkad in Thrissur district, bagged the Big Ticket lottery worth Rs.44.75 crore (2.2 crore Dirham).
The ticket, which she purchased along with her nine colleagues, brought huge luck for her. Jelal has been working as an HR professional at Shoidar Project Electronics Mechanical LLC in Abu Dhabi for the last four years.
“Though my friends were jointly taking tickets for the last one year, this was the first time that the ticket was purchased in my name. When I was told about it first, I couldn’t believe it. I thought somebody was playing a prank on me. I am not getting words now. I am indebted to God. I have not decided what to do with the money. Anyway, I will continue with my job. The rest of the things will be decided after consulting my family members.” she said.
