An Indian national living in Dubai was announced as the latest $1 million winner in the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire draw held on Wednesday in Concourse B of Dubai International Airport.
Koshy Varghese, a 48-year-old Indian national, became the latest $1 million winner in Millennium Millionaire Series 396 with ticket number 0844, which he purchased when he flew in from Cochin to Dubai a few weeks ago.
A regular participant in Dubai Duty Free's promotion Varghese couldn’t believe his luck, “I’ve been trying my luck for a few years now and delighted to have finally won. I look forward to seeing the Dubai Duty Free team who made this happen!”
Varghese is the 195th Indian national to have won $1 million since the start of the Millennium Millionaire promotion in 1999 and Indian nationals make up the highest number of Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire ticket buyers.
