For a coupon purchase of just Dhs200 a lucky winner will take home the prizes worth Dhs400,000 in what is among the biggest summer promotions during DSS 2008. Raffle coupons are available in 80 locations including select fuel stations of Emarat, Eppco, and Enoc, in addition to kiosks at Deira City Centre, Mall of the Emirates, BurJuman, Baniyas Street, Al Fahidi Street, Gold Souk, and Modhesh Fun City.
An attraction of the raffle is the sale of just 5000 coupons per draw, meaning that ticket buyers have a greater chance of winning this DSS. The date for each draw will be determined upon the sale of 5000 raffle tickets. The draws will be telecast on Sama Dubai from one of the shopping malls.
Abdulla Amiri, DSF Office Operations and Logistics Manager and Head of DSS Raffle Committee said,
"Raffle draws have always been a major attraction during DSS giving millions of visitors and residents an opportunity to realize their dreams through winning which is a core characteristic of the summer extravaganza. The DSS Grand Raffle this year is especially attractive because the 2009 BMW X5 is among the newest cars on the roads today."
Stathis. I. Stathis, General Manager of AGMC said, "We are extremely delighted to be part of this exciting promotion. The success of DSS Grand Raffle is a significant indication of what the cooperation between the private and the government sector can achieve."
