A Sharjah-based Syrian national, Jamil Alsadaka, became a proud owner of a Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe (Racing Yellow) in Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise promotion in Series 1715 with ticket no. 0200
The 55-year old Mr. Alsadaka owns several businesses in Ajman and is a regular participant in the Millennium Millionaire promotion but for the first time, he chose to purchase a Finest Surprise ticket for a car before he boarded his flight to China.
I am so happy I can’t even think! And I had forgotten about the ticket - thank you so much Dubai Duty Free!”, said Mr. Alsadaka.
Today’s draw was conducted by Dubai Duty Free senior officials headed by Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman & CEO, Sinead El Sibai - SVP Marketing and Michael Schmidt- SVP Retail Support and was held at Terminal 3 (Concourse A) of Dubai International Airport.

Thank you very much Colm and Dubai Duty Free for this fantastic win! I still cannot believe it really that I won a million dollars!”, said Mr McGinley who was presented with the US$1 million ceremonial cheque by DDF Executive Vice Chairman & CEO, Colm McLoughlin, a fellow Irishman.
