Mahzooz Lottery in the UAE — Results, Status & What to Play Now

For years, Mahzooz was one of the most recognised weekly draws in the United Arab Emirates, attracting millions of players across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider GCC. Dubai Lottery Magazine has covered Mahzooz from launch through to the regulatory reset that reshaped the UAE lottery market — here is the full picture, and what you can play today.

What is Mahzooz?

Mahzooz (Arabic for “lucky”) was a weekly water-conservation-linked draw launched in the UAE in 2020. Each AED 35 entry bought a bottle of water and a chance at the Mahzooz grand prize, with a top tier that climbed as high as AED 100 million. The Saturday-night Mahzooz draw was streamed live and quickly became a fixture for Dubai and UAE-based players.

Is Mahzooz still running?

Mahzooz weekly grand draws were suspended in 2024 after the UAE introduced a new federal lottery framework under the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority. A single licensed national lottery — The UAE Lottery — was issued in its place. For the most current status and any official Mahzooz updates, see our live Dubai & UAE results page.
