Another Indian, Lalit Sharma - a 37-year old from Chennai - won $1 million for his ticket number 3743 in Series 311.

This is Sharma's second ticket in the dollar promotion which he bought online.

Commenting on his win, the businessman said: "I really cannot believe this good news, but I will definitely expand my business, help my family and do some charity works. Thank you so much Dubai Duty Free."

Following the Millennium Millionaire draw, two winners of luxury vehicles were also announced in the Finest Surprise Promotion.

Ibrahim Bitar, a 48-year-old American national based in Dubai, won an Audi Q8 3.0 (Florett Silver Metallic) in Series 1729 with ticket number 1281.

Bitar bought a total of seven tickets online for this particular series.

"Thank you very much Dubai Duty Free! I can finally put my old car to rest", said Bitar.

Juma Mohammed Abdulla, a 25-year-old Emirati national from Ajman, won an Indian Scout (Smoke Black Icon) motorbike in Series 379 with ticket number 0440.

He works for a retail company since 2013 and bought his third ticket when he travelled to the Philippines for a holiday.

"I can't believe that I won, this is my third ticket purchased for this promotion, and I am just feeling great. Thank you Dubai Duty Free".
