The UAE Lottery has published the official results for its Lucky Day draw held at 9:30 PM on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. Draw number 260916 was conducted live under official supervision, with winning numbers and prize allocations confirmed by the operator.

Draw overview and verification

The Lucky Day draw is one of two weekly draws operated by the UAE Lottery, alongside the Friday Mega Draw. Draws are held at 9:30 PM local time and are broadcast live, with results posted on the operator’s official website immediately afterward. The UAE Lottery is licensed by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the federal regulator for commercial gaming activities in the country.

For the September 16 draw, the host was Diala Makki, and the event was recorded and verified in accordance with the operator’s standard procedures. Results are cross-checked against ticket databases before publication to ensure accuracy.

Winning numbers for the September 16 draw

The Lucky Day game requires participants to select six numbers from the “Days” section (1–31) and one number from the “Months” section (1–12). For draw 260916, the officially published numbers were:

  • Days section: 23, 29, 2, 9, 17, 7

  • Months section: 1

These numbers determine eligibility for the top three prize tiers, which require matching all six Days numbers plus the Months number (first prize), or specific combinations of five or six Days numbers with or without the Months number for lower tiers.

Prize breakdown and number of winners

According to official results, no ticket matched all required numbers to win the Dh30 million grand prize (first prize), the Dh5 million second prize, or the Dh100,000 third prize. As a result, these amounts will roll over to the next scheduled Lucky Day draw.

The full list of prizes awarded in the September 16 Lucky Day draw is as follows:

  • First Prize (Dh30,000,000): 0 winners

  • Second Prize (Dh5,000,000): 0 winners

  • Third Prize (Dh100,000): 0 winners

  • Fourth Prize (Dh1,000): 47 winners

  • Fifth Prize (Dh100): 3,664 winners

In addition to the main prize tiers, the draw included three guaranteed “Lucky Chance” prizes of Dh50,000 each, awarded based on unique ticket IDs rather than number matches. The winning Lucky Chance IDs were:

  • BV4673747

  • CF5672425

  • CE5554332

Each of these IDs corresponded to a single ticket holder who received Dh50,000.

Context and recent draw history

Lucky Day draws occur twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at 9:30 PM. In the previous Lucky Day draw on September 12 (draw 260912), one participant won the Dh100,000 third prize, while the top two prizes again went unclaimed. On September 9 (draw 260909), three participants each won Dh50,000 in the Lucky Chance category, with no winners for the top three tiers.

The structure of the game means that jackpot and second-prize amounts frequently roll over when no ticket matches all required numbers, which has been the pattern in recent weeks.

How results are published and verified

Official results are posted on the UAE Lottery website (theuaelottery.ae) shortly after each live draw. The operator states that the results page is updated immediately following the conclusion of each draw, and historical results are archived for reference. Media outlets such as Khaleej Times and Gulf News republish the numbers based on the operator’s official release, but the primary source remains the UAE Lottery’s own results portal.
