Dubai Duty Free has just made another UAE resident a millionaire.
Francis Xavier Arippattuparambil Cleetus, an Indian national living in Sharjah, was up in the sky when he received the news on his win in Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire Promotion as his lucky ticket no. 3133 in Series no. 238 was drawn earlier on Tuesday morning in Concourse B of Dubai International Airport.
Cleetus, a boat captain in Sharjah Sea Port, is a regular participant in the promotion and couldn't believe he won a $1 million.
