The winner, Sainuddin M Parayankatil, purchased his ticket in December 2008 while travelling to his home in Kerala. He has become the fourth millionaire since the raffle series began in 2006. The draw was held at the Qatar Duty Free shop inside the Doha International Airport, at a function presided over by Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar al-Baker and senior Qatar Duty Free staff. Parayankatil said, "I could not believe I had won the draw so I called Qatar Duty Free several times to confirm that I was the winner," he said. Parayankatil said he had entered similar draws in the past, but that it was the first time he had purchased a ticket for the Qatar Duty Free Millionaire draw. The delighted winner said he planned to ensure the future of his family as well as to donate some of the prize money to charities in Kerala that helped underprivileged children receive access to a decent education. Al-Baker said he was delighted with the popularity of the millionaire dollar draw, and offered his congratulations to the winner. "The Qatar Duty Free Company million dollar draw is an exciting attraction for duty free shoppers at Doha International Airport," he said. In a second raffle, French national Jean-Marc Fabre became the lucky winner of a brand new 2009 Lexus 570 luxury four-wheel drive passenger vehicle. The car, which had been on display at Qatar Duty Free, was the only prize in a limited number ticket draw. Fabre, who lives in France, was excited by the win but unsure how he would collect his prize. The Frenchman bought his ticket while transiting at Doha International Airport on his way to the Maldives where he was holidaying. Fabre said he was very pleased with the service received about Qatar Duty Free and Qatar Airways and would definitely fly the airline again. The dollar millionaire raffle was launched in May 2006 giving passengers an opportunity to win the bumper prize as each draw is made after 5,000 tickets are sold. Departing and transiting passengers at Doha International Airport are able to purchase raffle tickets for $263/QR950 each [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
