Double-Millionaires with Mashreq
Wins twice in less than two months after re-investing the first prize
In the recent Mashreq Millionaire draw, which took place in the bank’s branch in Burjuman, saw the announcement of Kuruvilla Varges and wife Elizabeth Thomas as the winners. This is the second time the couples win in less than two months.
The couple defied incredible odds by becoming the double-millionaires in Mashreq Millionaire’s weekly draws – scooping Dhs1, 000,000 on July 2 and the same on August 6.
Elizabeth, who learnt of the win commented, “I said, ‘no, you have got it wrong, it was last month we won’, but they told me it was definitely no mistake. I just can’t believe it.”
She added, “It’s the best thing we have ever done. Re-investing in Mashreq Millionaire was the right choice and I definitely advice everyone to do the same”
“The challenging economic environment has made customers re-evaluate their investment strategies and focus, with greater emphasis on how they can get the most value out of their money,” said Douglas Becket, Head of Retail Banking in Mashreq. “In a bid to support the community within which we operate, we encourage customers to invest in MashreqMillionaire which is a governmental backed capital guaranteed plan that allows them the chance to save and be substationally rewarded.”
The hardworking couple, who live in Umm Al Quwain, say they will keep day jobs but plan to spend some cash by taking their two daughters, 11-year-old Evana and Evita – ten years-old, on a non-expense spared tour to Europe.
Varges, who works in Dubai, invested the family’s final dhs5, 000 into Mashreq Millionaire certificates three years ago. Every week, a winner is picked to become 1Million Dirham richer.
