Can Indian Citizen Play Dubai Lottery Online From India And Transfer Winings

One of my friend who is an Indian Resident and stays in Maharashtra where buying lottery tickets is legal, has successfully bought a dubai lottery(Millenium Duty Free Dubai) ticket using debit card transaction. If outward remittance for buying lottery tickets of foreign country is not allowed by Fema then how was he able to buy the tickets. And he inquired the foreign lottery company and they said they had sucessfully payed back winnings to the Indian residents who had played through web by doing Bank transfers to Indian accounts. They even display the names of the winners. How did they successfully remit the winnings through bank transfer if Fema doesnot allow the same. Is there any workaround by which the winners of online foreign lottery are able to transfer there winnings back to India. Also I have checked Millenium Duty Free Dubai, there have been 2 winners who had buyed dubai lottery online and have won crores of money by the same: 1. Prabin Thomas https://www.khaleejtimes.com/nation/dubai/:Man-who-never-left-India-becomes-Dubai-millionaire 2. Farhaan Arman https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/asianet+newsable-epaper-asnewsab/bengaluru+man+wins+1+million+lottery+in +dubai+flies+down+to+collect+it-newsid-66456677 My question is will these people face any legal issues as they have tranferred foreign/dubai lottery money in crores back to india.
