Indian businessman wins a million dollars in Dubai Duty Free draw
43-year-old will help the needy and put some aside for his kids
Dubai: An Indian businessman from Kottayam, Kerala is the latest winner in the Dubai Duty Free (DDF) million dollar draw.
Rajan Kurian, 43, won the DDF Millennium Millionaire draw on Wednesday, May 20 after his winning ticket number 2852 was picked up from series 330.
Kurian is a businessman based in India. Speaking in a telephone interview to Gulf News from his hometown in Kerala, he said he was grateful for the win, considering the gloomy circumstances prevailing in the world with the coronavirus pandemic.
“I will set aside a good part of my win to help needy. I feel grateful with the win but I need to share it people who need it,” he said.
Kurian, a businessman in Kerala dealing in the construction sector, also said some of the money will go into growing his business.
However, he is most excited about putting money aside for his children, son, Brian Kurian and daughter, Bella Ann Kurian.
“The last few months have been tough with the COVID-19 situation,” he said. “My business has come to a standstill. This money will be put to good use.”
To the uninitiated, the million dollars translates as Rs76 million in Indian currency.
