A 59-year-old businessman and resident of Dubai for eight years, Mr Mahboob always buys a ticket to the million-dollar promotion whenever he travels to London, UK to visit his family, three or four times a year.
Mr. Mahboob was understandably ecstatic and commented: 'Thank you so much Dubai Duty Free for this amazing news. I have been participating in this promotion for over 10 years, and now that I’ve finally won, I still can’t believe that I made it!'
Mr. Mahboob is the 13th British national in the history of the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire Promotion to win US$1 million since its inception in 1999.
Meanwhile, two Finest Surprise motorbike winners were also announced directly after the Millennium Millionaire Draw.
Mr. Galileo Monera, a Filipino national living in Dubai won a BMW R Nine T in Series 371 with ticket number 0430. A regular participant in the Dubai Duty Free promotions for 15 years now, he was thrilled to hear the news and said: 'It was an unexpected call and I was really surprised and thankful that my prayers have been answered.
