Filipino expat wins Dh100,000, plans to secure family's future

The latest Mahzooz draw on Saturday, November 12, has changed the lives of three UAE expats, allowing each to give back to the community.

Filipino expat, Jennifer, a 44-yearold call centre executive for a bank in the UAE, will now have the chance to guarantee her family's financial future back in the Philippines.

Jennifer is one of the three raffle prize winners of the 102nd Super Saturday Mahzooz draw and took home Dh100,000. She now plans to give back to the community and make sensible investments in her home town.

"I never feel like I'm wasting money because the Dh35 I pay to purchase a bottle of Mahzooz water goes to a worthwhile cause. Mahzooz has helped me today just as much as I like helping others."

She encourages others to participate in Mahzooz, saying, "This money would help me continue my philanthropic activities”.

The Super Saturday draws, which took place on November 12, saw 1614 participants receive Dh21,550,550, of which three participants were the lucky recipients of the raffle draw prize of Dh100,000 each.

40-year-old Filipino expat Eleuterio, who was out grocery shopping with his wife during the Super Saturday draws, learned of his win from friends. Eleuterio, a manufacturing engineer by trade, has been taking part in Mahzooz every week, so when he learned that he had won Dh100,000 in the raffle draw, he was undoubtedly taken aback.
