Long-time Dubai expat wins AED 3 million, set to start technical services firm

Dubai-based Indian expatriate Suresh Pavaiah has struck it big, winning the AED 3 million DSF Grand Prize through Dream Dubai’s latest campaign. Originally from Tamil Nadu, the 45-year-old, who has lived in the UAE since 2006, now plans to invest his winnings into launching a technical services business, leveraging his expertise in the industry.

Suresh first discovered Dream Dubai through Facebook and was drawn to its “shop and win” concept. After participating in multiple campaigns, his persistence finally paid off when he received the life-changing phone call on his birthday—a moment he describes as the best gift ever.

“I had joined several times before, but this time, luck was truly on my side,” he said.

His winning entry came after purchasing two Modesh Shopping Cards during a promotional period, a decision that ultimately led to his milestone victory.

Dream Dubai continues to offer exciting opportunities for residents to win big, with winners selected and announced live in the presence of a Dubai Government official.
