A resident of UAE for the past twenty-nine years, I. R. Sreenivasan, works at a local supermarket as a driver. After a kidney transplant few years ago, Sreenivasan’s medicals bills soared and although footed by his company through insurance, paying for regular medical check-ups after retirement kept nagging him. The night of 9th February changed all that when he won the Lexus Mega raffle Draw.

“I am really thankful to God I won the raffle. I have two young boys and I was worried I would not be able to educate them properly. I have done my best to educate them well so that they can make a good life for themselves. A part of this money will go towards their education and the other towards ensuring that my wife and I are not forced to depend on others after I retire,” he added. 

The Lexus Mega Raffle is one of the most prominent features of DSF and has been an extraordinary success from its inception in 1996. The participants stand to win a Lexus LS 460 luxury sedan and AED 100,000 in cash on purchase of a raffle coupon for just AED 200.
