Srambikka, 46, works as a supervisor for Middle East Airline in Dammam. He could not believe he had just won a million dollars when the organisers contacted him.
“What a great way to start my day,” Srambikkal told DDF organisers.
According to DDF, Srambikkal got lucky the second time around with the win. “It was my second ticket in the million-dollar promotion and I am so thankful to Dubai Duty Free for this amazing win”, he said.
