Dubai: It takes only one chance to change your entire life and that has become true for many shoppers this Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). A normal shopping day became rewarding, and took many shoppers by surprise when their names were announced at the raffle draw organized by Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) at Gold Souk, Deira.
Here are a few stories from the last week winners that may inspire you too to shop for jewellery this festive season.
A SURPRISE RING THAT TURNED INTO A NEW CAR
The raffle coupon of Indian national, Ms Priyadarshani Bipin was raffled at the second weekly draw held on the 12th January 2019. Her husband surprised her with a diamond ring on their wedding anniversary and had no idea that a bigger surprise was waiting for him – his brand new BMW car.
“When I received the call from the DGJG team congratulating me on my win, I thought it was a prank call. By the time I could react or act, I got a call from jewellery showroom and only then I believed that I have actually won.”
She added “My husband planned a surprise for me and he got a surprise in return. Both of us were shell shocked. We would like thank Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group for making our anniversary even more special and memorable. We are really excited to receive the car”
