​A man who miraculously escaped a plane crash has been given the shock of his life after he was announced as the winner of a lottery prize worth $1 million.


This is what you call super-luck! An Indian man has won a million dollars just six days after he survived the terrifying Dubai air crash.

According to information revealed by GulfNews, Mohammad Basheer Abdul Khadar survived the Emirates flight EK521 which crash landed at Dubai airport. He along with over 290 others escaped unhurt before the plane exploded into a huge fireball.

His goodluck has been rewarded after the 62-year-old grandfather won the equivalent of a million dollars after buying a winning lottery ticket. Khadar revealed that he bought the ticket before going on a family holiday to Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala.

Khadar has since been given his winning

He was presented his winnings on Tuesday with lucky ticket number 0845, which was drawn in the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire at Concourse A in the terminal.

He told Gulf News : ” I have been working in Dubai for 37 years, and I have always felt like this is my country. I live a simple life, and now that it’s my time to retire, I feel like God gave me a second life when I survived the plane crash, and blessed me with this money to follow all this up by doing good things.”
