A side-by-side look at Mahzooz and Emirates Draw — formats, schedules, prizes and how to check each one.
Mahzooz and Emirates Draw are, by search demand, two of the most popular weekly draws in the UAE and the wider Gulf. Both combine a number-matching game with a guaranteed raffle, both broadcast their draws, and both publish official results online. If you are deciding which to follow — or just want to understand the difference — this guide compares them in plain English. As always, we are an independent blog: we do not run either draw and we do not sell tickets.
You can dive deeper on our dedicated Mahzooz results page and across our Emirates Draw game pages, and see the whole UAE picture on the UAE lottery guide.
Emirates Draw runs three weekly games — EASY 6 (six numbers from 1–49), FAST 5 (five from 1–49) and MEGA 7 (seven from 1–50) — drawn every Friday (EASY 6), Saturday (FAST 5) and Sunday (MEGA 7) at 9 PM Gulf Standard Time. Mahzooz centres on its own number-matching game plus a guaranteed weekly raffle. Schedules can change, so confirm current times on each official site; for Emirates Draw, see our draw time page.
The practical upshot: Emirates Draw gives you three formats and odds profiles across a Friday-to-Sunday weekend, while Mahzooz offers a focused single-game experience. Many regular followers simply check both.
Both draws pay out across multiple tiers — a grand prize for a full match, smaller prizes for partial matches, and a separate raffle prize. Exact values are set by each operator and can change, especially in shared tiers. To check either, compare your numbers with the published set (order never matters) and confirm on the official source. Our how to check results guide walks through it step by step.
There is no universally 'better' draw — it comes down to the format, schedule and prizes you prefer. Whichever you choose, enter only through the official operator and treat it as entertainment.
