Indian expat Amit Saraf knew from experience that in Dubai, the impossible is possible: In 2016, he hit the whopping $1-million (Dh3.67-million) mega prize in the Duty Free draw. And on Wednesday, he won again.
The 48-year-old Indian national moved to the city from Bengaluru after becoming an instant dollar millionaire.
"Winning with Dubai Duty Free allowed me to move to Dubai and really think about the future," said Saraf who is now running his online trading business in the emirate.
"I always believe that this is one of the most genuine promotions in the world, and today I’ve been lucky twice. Thank you so much Dubai Duty Free," said the expat who has been a regular participant in the draw since 2016.
Saraf won a Mercedes Benz S500 after buying six tickets for the Finest Surprise Series 1829 on his way to New Delhi, India.
