Saudi wins $1m Dubai Duty Free prize for second time

A Saudi businessman has - for the second year in a row - won the $1 million Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire promotion prize.

On Tuesday morning, Hussain Aldubais - a resident of the Saudi city of Dammam - received a call informing him that his ticket was drawn in Concourse C of Dubai International Airport.

"It was a pleasant shock to receive a second once-in-a-lifetime phone call from Dubai Duty Free. Needless to say, how thrilled I am to win the prize once again," Aldubais said on his second win. "Thank you Dubai Duty Free."

With the win, Aldubais became the sixth person to win the $1 million prize more than once in Dubai Duty Free's history.

At the same time, the Dubai Duty Free also conducted the 'Finest Draw' and announced the winner of a Ducati Diavel Dark (Dark Stealth) motorcycle. The motorbike was won by Nuhoor Mohammed Naseen, a Sri Lankan national living in Sharjah.
