So when it comes to their lucky draw contests, you can imagine how big the prizes are too. Of course one would also need to spend big money to be able to enter any of the big draws here.
The annual 45-day Dubai Shopping Festival started a month back, and with it, mega raffle and lucky draws. Now we're not talking grand prizes such as "A trip for 2 to New York" or "$10,000". No, no. We're talking HUGE-ass prizes. And on a daily basis.
There's the Daily Lexus Mega Raffle - daily prize of 2 Lexus cars PLUS AED100,000, and the Daily Gold Raffle - daily prize of 1 kg of gold. So that's 45 KILOS of gold, 90 Lexus cars and AED4.5 million they're giving away. However, these raffle draws aren't exactly like Toto where you can spend as little as $2 for a chance at hitting the jackpot. Each raffle ticket costs about AED200.
Then there are lucky draws organised by shopping malls and other companies...... "10 winners x AED100,000 each in fortnightly draw"...... "Gold phones worth AED 1 million to be won"...... "AED50,000 in cash + 50,000 in shopping vouchers"......
Virgin Records has a small but interesting draw - buy 2 "Front Row" DVDs, stand a chance to win your height in DVDs. So even if you're kinda short like me, that still makes up a 158cm tower of DVDs!
And you can certainly forget about "cheapo" prizes like a Camry. Think BIG. Like Dubai Duty Free. They're giving away AED1 million in one raffle draw, and luxury cars in another, like this Lamborghini here.
