Commenting on the surprise win, Rima Guerzou said: “I walked into the mall with every intention of shopping but I wasn’t expecting to leave the mall with a new wardrobe and a car! I am extremely grateful to Sahara Centre for this opportunity and will definitely be participating in their promotions year-round! You never know when luck is on your side and spending AED 200 lands you in a new car!”
The year of living expenses won by Walid El Chabti includes house rent, school tuition, shopping vouchers and utility bills such as electricity and water, Salik, telecommunication and petrol costs. Walid El Chabti excitedly said: “This is such a helping hand and beyond a one-off prize, it will have a lasting and positive impact on my life. I have been a Sahara Centre customer for years and I would like to thank the mall for rewarding my loyalty with this life-changing package. Actually, I was in the mall when my name was announced as the winner and so I ran to the place where the draw was being held. There, I was thrilled to have been interviewed live on radio by Mr. Omar Halabi of Al Rabia Radio and on Facebook live.”
