A former Dubai resident has won $1 million after taking part in Dubai Duty Free's promotion regularly for 20 years.

MC Jones, a 60-year-old retired British national who now lives in Italy, won Millennium Millionaire Series 563 with ticket number 4908, which she bought online on October 27. She had purchased three tickets for the series, and the winning one was chosen using the "Feeling Lucky" option.

"I'm so surprised! Thank you, Dubai Duty Free! I will encourage everyone to participate and not give up hope," she said, adding that she plans to make a good investment with the money. She is the 18th British national to win $1 million in the promotion.

In the same draw, Ravinder Toor, a 54-year-old Australian based in Sydney who is soon to become a Dubai resident, won a Range Rover SE P360 with ticket number 0067 in Finest Surprise Series 1968.

Rubil Kanjayi, a 45-year-old Indian national based in Al Ain, won a BMW R 1300 R motorbike with ticket number 0949 in Finest Surprise Series 686.
