An Emirati has hit the jackpot, not once, but twice in three days at this year’s Dubai Shopping Festival winning Dh600,000 worth of prizes.
Ali Mohammed’s DSF double began on Friday when his Weekly Infiniti Mega raffle ticket won him Dh100,000 in cash.
Buoyed by his unexpected windfall the next day Mr Mohammed purchased a Daily Infiniti Mega raffle ticket, which saw him drive away with two new Inifinity cars, a QX60 and Q50, and another Dh100,000 in cash.
“When I received the call for the first win, I was with a friend and was in complete disbelief. And when I received the call for the second time round, I was shocked,” said the 36-year-old UAE national, who has participated in DSF raffles for the past 18 years without winning so much as a free T-shirt.
“I couldn’t sleep the whole night – I could barely believe what was happening to me,” said Mr Mohammed who purchased both tickets from a petrol station in Oud Metha.
Mr Mohammed said he will be going for a trifecta of wins by buying more raffle tickets before the end of the festival on Sunday.
