Dubai: Saudi national wins $1 million in latest Duty Free draw

A Saudi national has been added to the growing list of dollar-millionaires of the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire promotion as the latest draw was conducted on Wednesday.

Ahmed Dewedar won the $1 million in the Millennium Millionaire Series 422 with ticket number 2625, which he purchased online on April 27.

Dewedar — who is the 12th Saudi national to have won the top prize since the start of the promotion in 1999 — is currently unreachable, but will no doubt be surprised when he learns of his newfound wealth.

Three others were about to drive away in luxury vehicles as their entries were picked in the latest Finest Surprise draw.
