Filipina is new UAE millionaire, 2 other Filipinos win draw

  DUBAI - A Filipina who sent Dh1,695 to her family in the Philippines got it back more than a thousandfold after she won Dh1 million in a recent draw. Gina Soriano, who works as a housemaid in the UAE, sent the money through Al Ansari Exchange, which ran a two-month rewards promotion for remittances. Soriano's name was picked up from five million entries in the UAE on Tuesday (August 28). “I was very surprised to be this year’s millionaire. This is a life-changing event that will surely help me improve my life and realize my dreams, including providing a decent life for my family,” Soriano said. The Filipina is the fifth person to win Dh1 million in Al Ansari Exchange's raffle draw. Two other Filipino expats also won prizes in the same draw. Antonio Artisuela Cano won a Mercedes Benz 2018 model while Honesto Dela Cruz Corpuz won Dh10,000. Other winners in the draw for the Dh10,000 prize were Indian nationals Rasheed Kunhammed and Azeez Ahmed Khan, Jordanian Sameer Abdelghafur, Moroccan Fatiha Bensallam, Shrawan Sunar from Nepal; Amr Bakoor from Syria and Bangladeshi Mohammed Abu Rahayan.
