A Keralite expatriate in Dubai won $1 million in the latest Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire draw, bringing to the extended list of winners from the Indian subcontinent. The winner was a father of two working men in Dubai, who bought the winning ticket during his return from a vacation to his hometown in Kerala—an incident that overnight completely transformed his life.
Overjoyed, the winner stated that he has been participating in the draw on a regular basis for years and, at last, hit the jackpot with number 3050. The turnaround moment was unexpected during his holiday, and it made his holiday that much more memorable. He is going to invest prudently, secure his kids’ future, and give some to charity.
Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, a Pakistani national also won in a different draw but is not aware of his jackpot win. Dubai Duty Free officials are now attempting to contact him to share the good news. The unnamed winner bought his ticket online, which has become a favorite way for international players.
The Dubai Duty Free draws remain a source of global fascination, particularly among UAE expats who hope to win life-altering amounts of money. With winners from nations such as India and Pakistan regularly making the headlines, these raffles have established a reputation for turning average lives into extraordinary success stories.
