Mohammad Bitar, Deputy Chief Executive OfÂficer of Al Ansari Exchange, said, "This was a challenging year for everyone, and as a way to thank our loyal customers, we have gone ahead with our 'Millionaire Promotion'. CongratulaÂtions to our new millionaire and to all the winÂners. We were truly overwhelmed this year by the number of participants. We would like to thank the Department of Economic DevelopÂment, Bank Al Falah, our sponsors for this promoÂtion, and of course our valuable customers, for their continued support."
Nina Elmina Sanchez, the grand prize winner, said, "I have been in the UAE for only a year, and the last thing I expected was to become a milÂlionaire. What a great start to 2021. Thank you Al Ansari Exchange for giving me this opportuÂnity and changing my life."
