The Abuzaids were on their honeymoon in Dubai earlier this month and had bought the ticket at Dubai Duty Free just before returning home to Jordan.

Another delighted first time winner was Osama Tayara, a Syrian national based in Damascus. Tayara, a 37-year-old businessman, was overwhelmed that his first ever ticket won him the sporty Porsche 911 Carrera Targa which was drawn at the raffle draw yesterday morning at the Shaikh Rashid Terminal.


Another winner who was announced at the draw today was Samir Bagheri, a Canadian national based in Qatar.

Following the draw, a presentation was made to previous winners. Mustafa Ali Bhai, a Tanzanian national based in Dar Es Salaam, was delighted to receive the keys of his Alabaster White Mercedes Benz S500 in Series 1183 with ticket No. 0019.
