Here, some of the lucky winners of ¼ kilogram of gold in the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group Raffle, tell us how they feel about winning big this DSF and more about their future plans:
Areen C’ mother from India: I put my baby’s name on the coupon, and we’re going to build our dream home
Nusrath, mother of Areen C said: “I am a resident of Dubai and have been here for almost three years. It is my first time taking part in a DSF raffle. I am a pharmacist working with Life Pharmacy. I went with my manager to purchase some gold for her relative, and they gave us a coupon. My manager told me to fill in my baby daughter’s name, which I didl, not expecting anything. Alhamdulillah, we won 250 grams of gold. At first, I thought it was a prank! We have started to build our new home with this. I am thankful to God and everyone.”
Zenat Khadr from Italy: My belated birthday gift turned out to be ¼ kilo of gold
Zenat said: “ I have been a Dubai resident since 2015 and have tried my luck on similar occasions. However, I did not win anything until now. It’s my first time to take part in this particular draw and for this prize. I went with my mom to the Gold Souk to get a late birthday gift and once we finalized the payment, the cashier passed me the token to fill it up. I agreed, however I mentioned that I’m not that lucky. I still can’t believe that I have finally won and I’m a winner of a prize of ¼ kilo of gold. I’m still surprised – I can’t believe it.”
Muhammad from Pakistan: I went to buy a gift for my mother and was delighted by this amazing win
Muhammad said: “I’ve been a resident of Abu Dhabi since February 2019, and I’m extremely happy and thankful to the UAE for such an amazing initiative. I don’t know how I won, to be honest, and was very surprised as it was the last thing I was expecting. I went to a gold shop to buy something for my mother and they asked me to fill these raffle draw coupons, which I did with the least hope of winning anything. But Alhamdullilah, I won ¼ kilo of gold and now I can worry about other things in life, excluding gold, for some time.”
