Indians Lead Dubai Duty Free Draw Winners
Binu C. and Rasheed A. are, according to Dubai Duty Free employees, the 275th and 276th Indian nationals to win the Millennium Millionaire neat since it began in 1999. Indian citizens, after all, have continued to be the largest buyers of the draw which is a globally popular offering.
The Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire draw has become wildly popular among the pool of expatriates that live in the Gulf region due to the relatively small ticket pool and high-value prizes.

Apart from the two Indians, Dubai Duty Free announced several other winners during the Finest Surprise draw. The prize was luxury cars and motorbikes, ranging from BMW models, awarded to participants from Lebanon and Australia.
As usual, the latest draw made obvious that Dubai Duty Free’s long-running raffle promotions have continued to change lives for participants from different countries and careers.
