Lucky shoppers celebrate big win

FOUR LUCKY shoppers have a very good reason to celebrate this month, each having walked away with CityGift vouchers to the value of Dh25,000 from Deira City Centre’s Dubai Summer Surprises.

The first of the lucky quartet was Fatima Mohammed Rashed, a housewife who visits Dubai once every year as a tourist.

Earning 14 coupons, the Bahraini national says she will indulge her passion for gold with her big win.

Teresa Crystal, a housewife from the Philippines who has been a resident in Dubai for the past 18 years, was able to clinch her special prize with just two raffle tickets. She said her first ever win in a raffle would be used to treat herself and that she planned to spend the rest on gifts to take to her family abroad on her next holiday.

If Galib Mehtiyev was trying to maximise his chances of winning, he certainly succeeded. Resident in Dubai for 11 years, the Azerbaijani national visited a number of different stores at Deira City Centre and received no less than 100 entry tickets for his efforts. His commitment paid off as he became the third weekly winner to be able to spend nearly Dh500 every week at the mall for the next year. The dental worker plans to buy toys and essential items for his children.

The purchase of a video camera saw Irmina Kuizon win the required amount of credits to receive coupons to enter the weekly draws.

Resident in the emirates for nearly five years, the young Filipina says she will enjoy taking her time over the next year to explore the mall’s 370 outlets looking for goodies to spend her vouchers on.
