Maryam Ahmed Al Khaja was the final recipient of an amazing prize given away by Sahara Centre for its annual Spring Promotion. The 19 year-old Emirati national scooped a brand new Mercedes-Benz E250 open-top sports car following the Centre's remaining grand draw, which was held on February 15.

On receiving the good news, Maryam's father commented: "Maryam passed her driving test on her 19th birthday. Last night we were discussing what car we would buy her as a gift when we received a call from Sahara Centre about the Mercedes!"

The final draw of the Sahara Centre's Spring Promotion also announced the winner of the diamond jewellery raffle, which was open exclusively for the popular lifestyle and leisure centre's lady shoppers. Walking away with a cool AED 25,000 worth of beautiful precious metal and stone adornments was Sarah Fadi Nizal from Jordan.

The first winner of Sahara Centre's Spring Promotion proved to be a bit of a surprise. Al Waleed Ammar Hassan, a two month-old Syrian baby, was the lucky ticket holder! Too young to appreciate his good fortune, Al Waleed's gift of the first of the competition's two Mercedes-Benz Cabriolets was driven away by his parents who had entered him into the January 18 draw.

The 50-day Sahara Centre Spring Promotion was held in conjunction with the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Shoppers needed to spend a minimum of AED 200 in order to enter the raffle.
