An Indian and a Pakistani won $1 million each on Tuesday in the Dubai Duty-Free raffle, reported the Khaleej Times. 



The two expatriates won in different series of the Millenium Millionaire raffle, while four others won luxury vehicles in a separate lottery.

Imran Ishaq, 48, is an expatriate from Lahore and Ramesh Krishnankutty, also 48, is an Indian automobile technician at a workshop in Dubai.

The two won in the 282 and 283 series respectively. Ishaq held the ticket number 2021 while Krishnankutty held ticket 3295.

Ishaq hopes to invest in properties as well as a car business in Muscat. Meanwhile, Krishnankutty will be splitting his winnings with nine others who had lent him the money to buy a ticket in his name.

Krishnankutty thanked Dubai Duty-Free for the prize and said that it was "one of the most emotional experiences" for him and his colleagues.
