mega-prize

An Indian architect working in Dubai has won a new mega prize in the UAE. Uttar Pradesh native Mohammed Adil Khan has been named the winner of the FAST 5 draw at a press conference held on Thursday. The prize is not an ordinary one as the Indian architect will be receiving more than Rs 5.5 lakh every month for the next 25 years.

Mohammed Adil Khan has been working as an interior design consultant in a real estate company in Dubai. Gulf News reported that Mohammed Adil Khan was named the winner in the draw held on Thursday.

Khan expressed his immense happiness and noted that the award comes at a crucial time. “I am the sole breadwinner for my family. My brother passed away during the Covid pandemic and I am supporting his family. I have aged parents and a five-year-old daughter. So the extra money comes just in time," Khan said.

Khan reached this level after undergoing suffering a lot of hardships. It was his relatives who lend him money for studies as he was good at studies. He reached Dubai in 2018.

"It was my brother who looked after our joint family. Following his death, it became my responsibility to take care of the family. At first, I was shocked when I learned about winning the prize. Even my family members were not able to believe it. They asked me to double-check the news," he said.

Well done to our #EDFAST5 winners of this week!
