Winner is first woman to claim top prize on ADDF’s “Big Ticket” Monthly Millionaire Draw

 

Fittingly for what CNNMoney.com and others are now referring to as the “richest city in the world”, first-time visitor to Abu Dhabi, Nafeesath Jasmin Abdul Mujib has become the latest millionaire created in the UAE capital with Abu Dhabi Duty Free’s (ADDF) “Big Ticket” raffle draw.

The region’s only guaranteed monthly millionaire, travel retail raffle draw, ADDF announced its latest winners at Abu Dhabi International Airport’s iconic Terminal 1 building including the other 14 winners who claim cash prizes ranging from AED100,000 (USD 27,190) to AED 5,000 (USD 1,360).
 
On her first ever trip to the UAE to visit her husband, a storekeeper in an insurance company, Indian housewife Nafeesath Jasmin Abdul Mujib not only claimed the first prize of one million dirhams but also became the first woman to win the top prize under the “Big Ticket” monthly draw format.

“My husband and I feel extremely blessed to have won and can now look forward to starting our family knowing we have a more secure financial future,” said Nafeesath, “I certainly did not expect that my trip would turn out like this!” 

“As always, we are delighted to congratulate Abu Dhabi Duty Free’s latest Big Ticket millionaire along with the other 14 winners,” said Dan Cappell, General Manager, Abu Dhabi Duty Free.

The Big Ticket, in addition to tickets for any of ADDF’s four car raffles, can be purchased at Abu Dhabi and Al Ain International Airports, the City Terminal in Abu Dhabi City (opposite the Beach Rotana Hotel), the Ghweifat land-border shop between the UAE and KSA, and on ADDF’s website at www.addf.ae.
