Dubai: A 75-year-old grandmother became a millionaire, thanks to National Bonds.
Grandma's wisdom never fails and Suhaila Ahmad Al Shaikh Salem has proved it once again.
The Emirati woman is the winner of the grand prize of Dh1 million in the 22nd monthly draw of National Bonds, the Sharia compliant national savings scheme of the UAE.
The grandmother bought National Bonds after her grandsons told her about the savings scheme.
"I found the savings scheme very attractive. Ever since I heard about it I have been advising my friends and relatives to invest in National Bonds," the winner said.
