Dubai is famous not just for its luxury shopping and towering skyscrapers, but also for its exciting shopping raffles. Whether you’re a tourist or a resident, these raffles give you the chance to win big—cars, cash, gold, electronics, and even apartments—just by shopping. But how do people actually win? Are there smart ways to increase your chances?
Here’s your complete guide to winning Dubai shopping raffles with smart, simple, and strategic tips.
Dubai shopping raffles are prize draws organized by malls, brands, and even government-backed events like the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). When you shop and spend a certain amount—usually starting from AED 100—you receive a raffle coupon. This coupon enters you into a lucky draw.
The prizes can be massive:
The most famous raffles happen during:
Not every shop offers raffle entries. Always check official mall websites, signage in stores, or ask the staff if your purchase qualifies for a raffle entry. Popular malls like:
Tip: Focus your spending on raffle-participating shops rather than random retailers.
Each raffle has a minimum purchase requirement. In most cases, it’s AED 100, but high-end raffles may require AED 250 or more. Keep your receipts, and make sure they’re stamped at designated customer service desks.
Tip: Combine purchases from multiple stores to reach the required amount and get your raffle coupon.
The more raffle coupons you have, the better your chances. Try to make separate smaller purchases instead of one big one, especially if it’s allowed by the mall. For example, spending AED 1,000 in 10 separate AED 100 transactions might give you 10 coupons instead of one.
Tip: Shop with friends or family and divide your spending for more entries.
Many malls run daily raffle draws, and some shoppers believe that entering early boosts their chances. While this isn’t scientifically proven, entering early ensures your coupon doesn’t miss the daily deadline.
Tip: Visit the mall when it opens to avoid crowds and submit your coupon promptly.
On weekends and public holidays, more people shop—so there’s more competition. Try shopping on weekdays when the mall is less crowded. Some stores also offer double-entry days, so keep an eye on promotions.
Tip: Follow your favorite malls and stores on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for insider info.
Many Dubai stores and malls now offer online raffles. If you shop from their e-commerce platforms, you still qualify for the draw. This is useful for those who don’t want to deal with traffic or crowded malls.
Tip: Look for “raffle included” tags before you check out online.
Keep all your receipts and raffle stubs. Some raffles require manual registration via websites or SMS. Others might ask for email confirmation. Missing details or incorrect entries can disqualify you.
Tip: Snap photos of your receipts and coupon codes as backup.
Some lucky draws are conducted live in malls or streamed online. While you don’t need to be physically present to win, attending can sometimes offer on-the-spot spot prizes, instant wins, or additional giveaways.
Tip: Be there in person if you can—it’s fun and might just double your luck.
Malls like Majid Al Futtaim have apps and loyalty programs like SHARE Rewards. They often give bonus raffle entries to loyalty members, or send alerts when special raffles are happening.
Tip: Always scan your loyalty card before purchase—it’s free and adds value.
Always read raffle terms and conditions. Some raffles are open only to UAE residents, others allow tourists. There are age restrictions too. Make sure your coupon is correctly filled out and submitted before the deadline.
Tip: Save a copy of the terms or take a photo if they’re displayed in-store.
Many people from all over the world have won prizes in Dubai. For example:
These are real wins—not marketing stunts. And they all started with a small purchase and a lucky coupon.
Dubai’s shopping raffles are not just a gimmick—they’re a chance to win life-changing prizes. With the right strategies and a little bit of luck, your shopping spree could turn into your biggest payday yet.
Stay alert, shop smart, and don’t miss your chance to win!
