Dubai Shopping Festival: Indian tailor wins Infiniti cars, Dh100,000 in raffle

What seems to have changed the fortunes for Fasaludheen Kuttipalakkal this time is the birth of his baby, who is only three days old.  Fasaludheen Kuttipalakkal, an Indian tailor in Dubai, has won two Infiniti cars and 100,000 dirhams at a raffle at the Dubai Shopping Festival. The 33-year-old had been trying his luck at the Infiniti Mega Raffle for 10 years without success. The good luck was brought to him, it seems, by his baby, who is only three days old. “In my heart, I knew that I was going to win this time. I was thrilled when I received the call. There could not be a better start to the New Year,” he said. Fasaludheen, who gets to drive home a QX60 and a G25, broke tradition when he chose to buy the raffle ticket alone instead of with his friends, which he had been doing for the last 10 years. “I think everyone should try their luck with the DSF mega raffles once during DSF. If not for yourself, you should try it with the name of your family members – you never know who may prove lucky for you and change the course of your life forever,” he said. Khaleej Times
