A very special Lamborghini is up for grabs and UAE residents can enter the raffle for as low as Dh36. And this isn't just any regular Lamborghini, it's been owned and signed by Pope Francis himself!
The pontiff's custom Lamborghini Huracan is up for grabs in a raffle hosted by Omaze - an online fundraising website. The custom supercar was gifted by the Italian car manufacturer to the Pope last year. This Huracan sports a custom white and yellow paint scheme modeled after the flag of the Vatican. Francis also signed the car outside his residence.
Apart from the car, the lucky winner and a guest will be taken on a trip to the Vatican where the keys will be handed over in the presence of Pope Francis and Lamborghini CEO, Stefano Domenicali. Flights and hotels are included by the way!
Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Vatican's charity projects. These include helping rebuild the villages destroyed by Daesh. They will also go to help victims of human trafficking in Central Africa.
Interested individuals can get 100 chances to win the Pope's Lamborghini for only $10 (Dh36 approx). Participants must be at least 18-years-old and have valid passports to be able to travel to the Vatican. The potential winner must also not be a resident of Belgium, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Singapore, Sudan, Syria, or Thailand.
The raffle comes just two months ahead of Pope Francis' historic visit to the UAE which is scheduled to take place on February 2019. The pontiff was invited by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and the local Catholic church.
Pope Francis will take part in an international "interfaith" meeting during the trip, which will run from February 3 to 5.
