Mom buys son Dubai raffle ticket, wins new car, Dh200,000 cash

Dubai - His mother purchased a raffle ticket as a gift.

Mothers have a very special place in our lives and hearts but how many of them can change our luck around? Ibrahim Tleel, a Lebanese engineer at a consulting company in Dubai can confirm that this is indeed possible.
The 49-year old father of two flew his mother into Dubai for a week to visit her family and enjoy everything Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) has to offer across the city. During her short stay, Ibrahim's mother purchased an INFINITI Mega Raffle ticket at a petrol station as a gift for her son. As a result, Ibrahim won an INFINITI QX50 and Dh200,000 in cash in the daily raffle, part of the 25th edition of DSF.
Commenting on his mother's stroke of luck the engineer said, "I still can't believe it. This ticket has made all my dreams come true. It has secured my children's future and given me peace of mind. The cash prize will go straight into savings for my children and as for the car, I've decided to keep it."
Ecstatic about his recent win, Ibrahim states that his mother will do all the buying for the entire family moving forward, just in case she strikes luck again.
