Mohammad Salman Masud, a 28-year-old Bangladeshi greengrocer, has won a two-bedroom apartment in Dubai after spending over Dh900 at a participating retail outlet. The Bangladeshi worker previously shared an apartment with colleagues and sent money home to his family. The "Win Your Home in Dubai" promotion, which ran throughout the summer as part of Dubai Summer Surprises, gave shoppers who spent at least Dh500 a chance to win apartments and other prizes.
Mr Masud entered the draw through the Union Co-op app but needed assistance to register. He received a life-changing call informing him of his win from Dubai Chambers and DSS. He is now the family's sole breadwinner having worked in the UAE for eight years, and he plans to tour the show unit before settling in.
