Dubai: Emirati Yusuf Ali Al Maadi; Indian nationals Christina A S and Irfan Khan; Filipino expats Ben Samuel and Imelda Duron welcomed 2021 with good fortune after winning 250g of gold each at the ongoing Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
Al Maadi said: “At first I thought it was a prank. It (winning) only started sinking in after we went and received the prize. I never imagined that after I dropped the coupon, I’d win! I have exchanged the gold for money and started a savings account.”
Christina A S, for her part, said: “It was such a relief to win this amazing prize at the end of an unpredictable year. I entered the raffle with my family and am so happy I was the one to win!”
