UAE: Dubai Duty Free Seeks Indian Jackpot Winner of $1 Million
Dubai Duty Free (DDF) is searching for Arulraj Thavasimani, an Indian national who recently became a millionaire through the Millennium Millionaire promotion. Despite hitting the $1-million jackpot with a ticket purchased on December 20 at Dubai International Airport's Concourse A, Thavasimani remains uncontactable and is unaware of his windfall.
244th Indian Jackpot Winner
Thavasimani’s win marks him as the 244th Indian national to claim the $1-million prize in the widely popular Dubai Duty Free raffle. The promotion, which has been running since 1999, has gained significant attention for its life-changing payouts.
Another New Year Jackpot Winner
Joining Thavasimani in celebrating a fresh start to 2025 is Robert Korbijn, a 43-year-old Dutch expatriate and chief financial officer based in Dubai. Korbijn also won $1 million in the same draw. He expressed his joy, calling the win “life-changing” and an excellent start to the new year. Korbijn is the fourth Dutch national to win the prestigious Millennium Millionaire prize.
A Year of New Beginnings
The Dubai Duty Free raffle continues to transform lives, with winners like Thavasimani and Korbijn demonstrating the global appeal of the promotion. As the search for Thavasimani continues, DDF remains optimistic about reaching him to deliver the good news.
