Emirati woman wins gold at Dubai Shopping Festival

  DUBAI - One week after her daughter got married, an Emirati woman had her joy doubled when she received a call that she won a ¼ kg gold prize in this year’s Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). “We have been participating in the Dubai Shopping Festival raffle draws for the past 17 years, and now our win comes at the beginning of the new year, the Year of Zayed, whose generosity was well known. This makes us particularly optimistic about 2018, which we hope will be another year of peace, prosperity and stability for our beloved country,” says the Emirati winner, who has requested that her name be withheld. The Emirati said she and her husband were preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter, Sarah. "She is the first from our four daughters to get married, and we’re so happy that she will be marrying a fine young Emirati man from a good family. We had promised to support with the wedding costs as we know how expensive weddings are, especially for a young couple starting a new life,” she said. She continued: “On this occasion, I went with my husband to one of the jewellery shops taking part in the special promotion organised by Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group during the DSF season. I have been going to that shop for about four years, and it has top-quality gold-work jewellery. So, we chose a nice piece to make our daughter and the bridegroom happy. When making the payment, we received coupons for the draw, one of which turned out to be our winning coupon.” Sarah’s mother received the news about her winning the gold only one week after the wedding, and she says she considers the prize a gift from DSF to her daughter, which made everybody happy. Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group offers shoppers the opportunity to win 33 kilograms of gold throughout DSF. A shopper receives one coupon that will be entered into the daily draw upon spending a minimum of Dh500 at any participating gold and jewellery shop in Dubai. The shopper will receive two coupons when spending a minimum of Dh500 on diamond jewellery. Three winners of gold prizes are announced every day of the festival, with the first winner given ½ kg gold, while both the second and third lucky shoppers will each receive a ¼ kg gold as their prize. On the final day of DSF, one lucky shopper will receive 1 kg of gold. The raffle draws during the weekend are held at Global Village and the draws during the week are held at the gold souq in Deira.
