Hissaحصة

Ten of you paid. One name is on the ticket.

Hissa records who put in what, and has the person holding the ticket sign for it, before the draw. Nothing changes about how you buy.

Hissa is a free record-keeping service for the Duty Free and Big Ticket pools that friends in Dubai and Sharjah have run for years on a group chat and a good memory.

A tenth of a Millennium Millionaire ticket is AED 367,250

That is the number nobody writes down. It sits in a chat thread, in ten different memories, next to one person's name on the ticket.

Millennium Millionaire is AED 1,000 a ticket, 5,000 tickets to a series, USD 1 million to the ticket drawn. Big Ticket is AED 500 a ticket with a monthly draw. Hissa has no part in either.

How you know it is real

Hissa does not ask you to trust Hissa. It gives you things you can check yourself.

It comes from your friendYour link is sent by the person in your group who set the pool up, with your name already on it. Nobody from Hissa will ever message you first.
Your money never touches usIt goes from you to the person buying the ticket, the same way it does today. There is nothing at Hissa to run away with.
The record cannot be quietly changedWhen the ticket number goes in, the whole record is fingerprinted. Anyone in the group can recompute that fingerprint on their own phone and see it matches.
The operator publishes the resultDuty Free and Big Ticket print the winning ticket number and the name on it. If it is your ticket, everyone in the group already knows the name and the share table.
If someone breaks the promise, you have paperA signed declaration, a locked record, a published result, and a letter you can copy in one tap. That is more than any group has today.
We never ask for ID, bank login or cardOnly names, and only the ones your group types in. Contact numbers you pick stay on your phone.

Built in Dubai by a small team. Questions before you trust it with your group: WhatsApp. Want to check a record yourself: the verify page.

How it runs

Four steps, once per series. The buying stays exactly where it is.

  1. One of you sets it up

    Pick the draw, the number of shares and the deadline. Send the link to your group. Everyone accepts the same terms.

  2. Everyone pays that one person

    Each member gets their own payment reference. Hissa marks the share paid when the money lands, so nobody sends a screenshot and nobody chases anybody.

  3. That person buys and signs

    The ticket goes on their own name and their own card, which is what the operator requires. Before they buy, they sign that they hold it for all of you, in the shares agreed.

  4. The record is sealed

    Share table, member list and ticket number are fixed and timestamped before the draw. Everyone gets their card. If it is drawn, the split is already written.

Coming next

Everyone taps in from their own phone. Paid confirms itself from the bank. The ticket holder signs with UAE PASS. The sealed record is anchored on a public ledger. Reminders before pay-by, before the draw, and when the result is in.

Next series it is your name

Most groups take turns holding the ticket. Hissa keeps the rotation, so whoever is up this time is on record, and the person who paid last time still has their card from then.

What Hissa never touches

Your ID or bank detailsHissa will never ask for your Emirates ID, passport, bank login or card. The only person who verifies identity is the one buying the ticket, and only so the agreement names a real person.
Your contributionIt goes straight from you to the person buying. Hissa never holds a dirham of pool money.
The prizeThe operator pays the name on the ticket, as it always has. Hissa produces the split and the demand if it is not paid.
The ticketBought on the operator's own site by one of your group. Hissa does not sell entries and is not connected to any operator.
Your walletFree to every member. No fee per pool, no cut of anything, no subscription.

The part that holds up later

A chat thread is not evidence. The person named on the ticket has no obligation to anyone else unless they agreed to one.

So before the ticket is bought, they sign a one-page declaration: they hold the ticket on trust for the members in the shares listed, and they pay each member directly within an agreed window. It names a court. If they miss the window, the costs of getting the money are theirs.

Under review by counsel. Nothing here is legal advice.

Questions

What is Hissa?

Hissa is a free record-keeping service for private lottery pools in the UAE. It records who paid what, verifies the member whose name goes on the ticket, and has that person sign a declaration of trust before the draw.

Do you sell tickets?

No. One of your group buys the ticket on the operator's own website, in their own name and with their own card, exactly as the operator requires. Hissa keeps the record of who funded it.

Is buying a ticket together legal here?

Buying together is a private arrangement between you. The operators pay the prize only to the person named on the ticket and will not settle arguments between members. Big Ticket's own terms say participation in a syndicate is at your own risk. Hissa gives that arrangement a signed agreement and a dated record.

What does it cost?

Nothing. No fee per pool, no subscription, no share of any prize.

Who gets the prize if the ticket is drawn?

The operator pays the person named on the ticket, as it always has. That person has signed to hold it on trust for the members and to pay each share within an agreed window.

What is a tenth of a Millennium Millionaire ticket worth?

The ticket is AED 1,000 and the prize is USD 1 million, about AED 3,672,500. A tenth costs AED 100 and would pay about AED 367,250.

Which draws do you cover?

Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire and Big Ticket Abu Dhabi. Hissa is not connected to either.

How do we know the record was not changed after the draw?

The share table and ticket number are fingerprinted when sealed, and the pool link with that fingerprint sits in your group chat with WhatsApp's own timestamp. Anyone can recompute it on their phone. Anchoring the fingerprint on a public ledger, so it can be checked without Hissa, is coming.

Does Hissa hold our money?

No. Contributions go straight from each member to the person buying. Hissa never touches pool money or prize money.
