A 51-year-old South African from Johannesburg has won $1 million in Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire promotion in Series 274 with ticket no. 2166 at the draw held on Tuesday at Concourse B - Terminal 3.
A regular participant to $1 million promotion for the last two years, G Lubbe purchased his winning ticket online on May 10. He was understandably speechless and couldn't believe his luck upon hearing the news on the phone and said: "I have always hope to win and I am thankful for this opportunity given by Dubai Duty Free, and for my lucky numbers that brought me this great fortune".
Lubbe, who runs his own IT business also works for Traxys, a leading physical commodity trader and merchant in the metals and natural resources sectors, is the fourth South African national to win a million dollars since its inception in 1999.
