Dubai: Mohommad Basheer Abdul Khadar is surely the luckiest man on the face of this earth. 
Merely six days after having a miraculous escape from clutches of death when Emirates plane in which he was plying crash landed in Dubai, Khadar has won a million dollars on the lottery from the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire.
Khadar, 62 had bought the ticket on his way to a holiday with his family in Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala during Eid. Buying a ticket on his way back to India was a tradition that Khadar followed without fail, with no explanation though. This was his 17th such buy at the airport lottery and this time he was lucky.
Speaking to Gulf News, Khadar said that may be he escaped the crash only to win the lottery. Khadar is due to retire four months from now and what is admirable about the man is that despite the cash influx he has no plans of retiring anytime sooner.
“I will work till I can. There is nothing more satisfying than a hard-earned money,” says the luckiest man on earth.
