A 45-year-old Indian expat won a jackpot of $1 million (3.6 million dirhams) in the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire draw raffle on Tuesday. Sourav Dey, who has been living in Dubai from last six years, works as a department head for an insurance company here. He bagged the prize after buying the lottery ticket for the first time, Gulf News reported.

"I`m so grateful to Dubai Duty Free for giving me this new fortune that my family will truly treasure for a long time," Dey said. Two other winners, including an Indian man, drove away luxury vehicles. Forty-four-year-old Indian man Babu Ajith Babu drove home a BMW motorbike, while 40-year-old Sri Lankan national Sajeewa Niranjan won a Range Rover.
