The car giveaway not only brought excitement to the recipients but also underscored the UAE's wider focus on celebrating its workforce and promoting happiness across all sectors. UAE celebrated Eid Al Fitr from March 20-22 this year, amid the ongoing Iranian attacks.
Khan, a Pakistani expat who works a foreman, said his family back home were overjoyed with the news of his win. "They had put up a notice with a QR code at the site where I work. I scanned it to enter the lottery, and very happy that I won. I am not planning to drive the car, have returned it and asked for cash," said the Dubai resident of 15 years.
Sikdar too has asked for money instead of the car. "I don't even have a driving licence, so the car is of no use to me. With the money, I can start a small business back home, or donate some of it to a madrasa," he said.
Sikdar has been living in Dubai since 2008 and works as a carpenter. This is not the first time he has won something in a lottery in Dubai. "There was a similar lottery during New Year, too. I had won a mobile phone, which I am planning to gift to my father when I visit home," he said.
