Qatar Duty Free (QDF) has drawn the winner of its latest millionaire raffle draw, with Indian national Sudish Sukumaran winning the coveted cash prize.
Sudish Sukumaran, QDF’s 20th winner of the Millionaire Draw, will take home 1 million US Dollar (approximately 6.5 crore Rupees).
QDF has also announced that Abdullah al-Shareef, a Saudi national, has become the owner of a Bentley Continental GT Speed courtesy of its luxury car draw without even travelling to HIA, having purchased the winning ticket online.
Both prize draws were conducted at HIA and presided over by QDF’s vice-president of branded stores, Luis Gasset, and Hamad International Airport’s vice-president (commercial – HIA) Abdulaziz al-Mass.
The winning millionaire and luxury car tickets were numbered 3069 and 0511, respectively.
Winner’s reaction
Sudish, who lives in Doha, said: “When I received information that I had won the prize, I immediately called my wife and family to share the wonderful moment with them.”
He wants to save money for his children’s education. “I want my children to have the opportunity to complete their academic studies at the best schools and universities available.
Thank you Qatar Duty-Free for this amazing opportunity,” he said.
