A Dubai Resident Losing His Job And Winning BIG In A Raffle Draw Soon After Is Your Feel-Good Story For The Weekend
Filipino salesman Joel Gutierrez wouldn’t have expected 2016 to end this way.
A resident of the UAE for 16 years, Gutierrez recently lost his job as a salesman at a retail outlet. And then he finds out he’s won an INFINITI car on the first day of Dubai Shopping Festival as well as AED 150,000 in cash.
He said:
“It came as a huge surprise and the most beautiful thing about it was the timing, as I had just been informed by my office that my services were no longer needed. This will now help me build a new and happy life for me and my family. I always had a feeling that I would win. I had been purchasing raffle tickets and participating in other raffle promotions in the previous editions of DSF, and now my dream has come true. I wish to thank Dubai and Dubai Shopping Festival for this unexpected fortune.”
The 43-year-old plans to use the cash…
To pay off his debts and then join his family in the Philippines to start life anew with the remaining prize money.
DSF is now in its 22nd year and here’s how you can win:
The Infiniti Mega Raffle offers one lucky shopper the opportunity to an Infiniti QX70 plus AED 150,000 in cash every day upon purchase of a raffle ticket for AED 200.
