The car winners in the first three weekly raffle draws of the "Shop and Win' festival at Mall of Qatar (MoQ) received their cars on Wednesday (October 28).

The car handover took place at MoQ in the presence of general manager Emile Sarkis, Alfardan Automobiles general manager Nasr Jairoudi, and other officials from MoQ management.

The winners Ramishwar Raut got a MINI Cooper, Mohammed Abo Ouda a BMW X1, and Sharrukh Khan received a BMW 520i.

The Shop and Win Festival at MoQ comes under the theme "Pick and Choose." Raut, a house driver in Qatar for 10 years, had put three coupons for the draw.

"This car has given me new hope for a better life. My wife gave birth to twin girls one night prior to the draw. My happiness has doubled with this new car. It will change my life. I thank God for this gift and thank MoQ for this great opportunity that helped me to start a new life".

Ouda, too was pleasantly surprised by the news of him winning the BMW X1. He said he never expected to win a car in his life. 

“It was a big surprise, but a happy one. This is the only spark of hope in this challenging world and during these difficult times. I thank the Mall of Qatar for this initiative that gave joy and hope and gave me new motivation to continue,” he said.

“I was thinking of changing my old car, but with this new luxury one, I am not concerned anymore. It just came at the perfect time,” he added.

The third winner Sharukh Khan had won the luxurious BMW 520i with just two coupons in the draw. He said: "It is a dream that became true. No words can describe my happiness. Thank you, MoQ for making this dream come true."

"I urge everyone to try their luck, keeping in mind that shopping at MoQ is comfortable and amazing. This festival is also a great added value to our spendings, something that is not available in any other mall".

Sarkis congratulated the winners, saying: "On behalf of MoQ, I extend my deep congratulations to the winners and wish them a safe driving experience with their new cars. This is part of our social responsibility, and our priority is to please and satisfy our loyal customers. We appreciate their confidence and loyalty towards MoQ. The chance is still there for everyone to win one of the 17 remaining luxury cars until January 14, 2021".

"On this occasion, I would like to thank relevant authorities, especially the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, for their collaboration and support. We appreciate their effort to supervise the weekly raffle draws,” he added.

The current 'Pick and Choose" festival is the biggest shop and win festival in Qatar, offering customers more flexible options to choose their favourite car and the date of the weekly draw until the end of the campaign on January 14, 2021.
