A Syrian boy became an instant millionaire after winning a raffle draw in Dubai held as part of a shopping campaign, a local newspaper reported Sunday.
Saif won a cheese worth 1 million dirhams ($ 272,260.7) during a competition at The Dubai Mall, an iconic entertainment destination in the city.
The 7-year-old boy is considered the youngest winner of this year’s prize, according to Emirati newspaper The National. The million-dirham check was picked up by the boy’s father at the mall.
