Hundreds of shoppers gathered at Oasis Centre on July 23 as the mall was the latest venue for the Dubai Shopping Malls Group’s (DSMG) sixth weekly raffle draw. Ten winners were selected during the draw which is part of DSMG’s Surprising Millions campaign during the ongoing Dubai Summer Surprises. Each winner receives AED 50, 000 in cash and gifts.

Seven year old Aesha Mohamed won AED 50, 000 in cash and gifts when her father entered her name for the raffle.
