Jobless Dubai expat wins Dh50,000 worth of gold

  DUBAI – A 47-year-old Nepalese man who recently quit his job in Dubai won Dh50,000 worth of gold after buying gold jewellery for his wife and daughter. Pradeep Sresta won the jackpot in the recent Dubai Shopping Festival draw after participating in the raffle for the first time. Sresta, who has worked in the UAE in the last 20 years, resigned from his job as a technician last month to reunite with his family in Nepal due to the pandemic. He bought a gold bracelet and a gold chain for his wife and their 10-year-old daughter as gifts. “This has been the best news for me this year and I think it is also the perfect parting gift or perfect New Year’s gift that the UAE gave me and my family,” he said. The Nepali said it was his first time to win in any raffle in the UAE. The Dubai Shopping Festival gold draw gives four shoppers the chance to win 250 grams of gold every day until January 30. Customers must buy Dh500 worth of gold, diamond or pearls at participating outlets. ICA/Expat Media ALSO READ Dubai Shopping Festival: How to win Dh200,000, luxury car, gold
