To step up the excitement during the remaining days of the 20th edition of Dubai Shopping Festival, the Infiniti Mega Raffle will offer residents and visitors an additional chance to win the grand prize in the form of a second daily draw starting from today (29 January) to 1 February.

As part of this extra daily draw, a second lucky participant will also get the opportunity to win the AED 500,000 prize consisting of two Infiniti cars QX60 and Q50 and AED 100,000 in cash. Further, the Infiniti Mega Raffle will offer more surprises for DSF shoppers with a total of five raffle draws on a single day on 2 February.

The Infiniti Mega Raffle has been offering one lucky DSF shopper the opportunity to take home a whopping prize worth AED 500,000 each day of the festival. The daily prize consists of two luxurious Infiniti models, QX60 and Q50, plus AED 100,000 in cash.

Shoppers can purchase the Infiniti Mega Raffle ticket for just AED 200 at select ENOC and EPPCO petrol stations, Global Village, Gold Souk and at main streets.

As a special surprise for all the residents and visitors, shoppers can now look forward to receiving a Nissan Grand Raffle coupon with the purchase of every Infiniti Mega Raffle ticket. With the Nissan Grand Raffle, participants can win a Nissan car every day and a Nissan Patrol every week.

Also, as part of DSF’s 20th anniversary, shoppers participating in the Infiniti Mega Raffle will get a second chance to win with over AED 2 million in additional prizes that will be up for grabs at weekly raffle draws. At these DSF 20th Anniversary Special weekly draws, five lucky shoppers stand to win cash prizes of AED 100,000 each.

Throughout the 20th edition of Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), from the time it began on 1 January until now – the festival has been offering both residents and visitors the chance to win mind-boggling prizes.

One of the many expatriates to have hit the lucky trail this year, is Huan Zhang, a 27-year old Chinese expatriate who has only been in Dubai for the past 8 months. As a new expatriate who’s just beginning to settle in the city, Huan knew little about the details of the raffles and their prizes. “I wasn’t too aware of the raffles but one day I heard a story of an Indian man winning a big prize after 15 years of participation in the raffles. So, one day when I was passing the ENOC gas station on Emirates Road, I decided to purchase one ticket,” said Huan.

Dubai certainly seems to have brought good luck to her, as the young Chinese national received a call on 15 January announcing she had become the winner of two Infiniti cars and a cash prize of AED 100,000 at the Infiniti Mega Raffle draw.

“I did not expect to win and I could not believe it when I received the call. Initially I mistook it as a hoax call and I told the caller I don’t believe you. He then told me to check for my name on the website.”

“The caller was really like an angel who brought me such good news. I love Dubai even more now,” she added.

Speaking about her plans for the big money, Huan said that she intends on using the cash towards a down payment for a new house in China. She has also already purchased more tickets for the Infiniti Mega Raffle and obtained coupons for the Nissan Grand Raffle.
