The second winner, 67-year-old Rolf Hartung, had purchased the ticket online on December 17, 2021. He used to purchase physical tokens for around 20 years, but because of Covid-related travel restrictions, he has bought tickets via e-platforms. Rolf is a hospital worker and a father of two.

Meanwhile, Rolf thanked Dubai for a great start to the year. Rolf quoted saying, “Winning Dubai Duty Free is not just a good feeling, and it is a great honour. It is surprising as I never thought of winning $1 million. It is definitely a good start to the year… Thank You, Dubai”.

The Finest Surprise draw was conducted during the event, and four people were declared the winners.
