UAE-Based Indian Expat Wins BMW Motorcycle in Dubai Duty Free Draw

Dubai, Dec 2025 : An Indian expatriate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has won a BMW motorcycle in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise draw, though he plans to sell it. Palani Andavar Aynar, a 38-year-old AC technician residing in Abu Dhabi, secured a BMW R 1300 RS motorbike after purchasing a ticket for the draw. Speaking to Gulf News, Aynar said, “Thank you, Dubai Duty Free, for this win. The money I get from selling this bike will be very useful.”

Aynar was one of three lucky winners in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise draw. Another winner from Abu Dhabi, 38-year-old Emirati aircraft engineer Salem Alfazari, received a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 43. Alfazari, who works for Etihad Airways, had been facing car troubles after his vehicle broke down in the rain. He described his win as a stroke of luck, saying, “What a lucky day! My car was damaged in the floods caused by heavy rains, and now I’ve suddenly won a brand new car.” Alfazari had purchased two tickets for the series online on December 4 and attributed his fortunate turn to one of them. He has been participating in the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire promotion for over seven years.

The third winner, 61-year-old Dubai resident Ali Alnuaimi, won a Land Rover Defender after trying for 20 years. Alnuaimi, a father of six who runs a consulting and financial services firm, expressed immense joy at the win. “Thank you very much to Dubai Duty Free for this wonderful win! I can’t wait to drive my winning car on the streets of Dubai,” he told Gulf News.

The Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise promotion continues to reward participants with luxury vehicles and high-end prizes, attracting entrants from across the UAE and beyond. Winners like Aynar, Alfazari, and Alnuaimi highlight the excitement and unpredictability of the draw, offering life-changing rewards to both long-time participants and newcomers.
