6-Year Old Indian Girl Takes Home 1kg Gold In Gold Mega Raffle
When Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan dipped her hand into the raffle drum to pick the lucky winner of the weekly DSF Gold Mega Raffle, it was her turn to get pleasantly surprised - the winner, Mariya was a 6-year old girl from India, whose family had never won anything before.
Mariya’s father Mustafa had obtained a raffle coupon after purchasing gold from one of the Joy Alukkas outlets that is participating in the DSF gold promotion that is being run by the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group.
“We all could not believe that we had won. This is something we had been waiting for such a long time and now it has come true. My brother and his daughter are really lucky this DSF,” said the girl’s uncle Murtaza, speaking on behalf of the family.
Mariya’s father has been a resident of Dubai for the last 10 years and, though he and members of his family used to participate in the DSF Mega Raffles, they always had to come away disappointed until that life-changing moment on the 27th January.
The Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group invites a Bollywood celebrity every week to pick the weekly winner of the 1 kg gold prize, and it was the popular Soha Ali Khan, who did the honours at the last weekly draw.
DSF visitors can strike gold by participating in the special promotion run by the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group. Shoppers will receive coupons to enter the raffle draw on spending AED1,500 or more on gold purchases at any of the participating outlets across the city. Every day, a quarter kilo of gold is being given away to one winner, while a kilo of gold awaits one shopper every week.
Customers who are entitled to a raffle coupon can also participate in a unique SMS promotion to win specially minted “EXPO 2020 Dubai Candidate City” gold coins every hour between 10am – 11pm every day, totaling 2kg of gold during DSF 2013. Alongside the gold promotion, a scratch-and-win campaign is being launched offering shoppers purchasing AED 1,000 worth of diamond jewellery the chance to win fabulous prizes worth up to AED 2m.
