Dubai: Number 13, an unlucky number for many, has turned the wheels of fortune for Nasra Ahmad, a three-year-old Emirati girl.
Nasra has become the youngest winner of Ibn Battuta Mall's 'Win a Mini' promotion.
Nasra, youngest of Salah Ahmad Abdul Rahman and Khawla's three children, entered the draw with 13 coupons.
She was handed the keys of a brand new Mini Cooper by Arif Ali, Customer Services Manager and Government Relations Manager, Ibn Battuta Mall.
The shy three-year old was visibly excited by the win but will have to wait until she turns 18 to test drive the Mini.
"This is absolutely the best toy that Nasra has ever received, even if she won't be driving it for at least 15 years," said a beaming Khawla Mohammed Abbas, mother of Nasra.
