Dubai: An Indian expat has won a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck in Dubai.

Someswararao Mungi, a 38-year-old fintech professional from India, emerged as the winner of the region’s first 24K gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck. His unexpected win was the highlight of Dubai Gold Souk Extension’s ‘Shop and Win’ campaign, which ran from November 14 to January 31. During the campaign, shoppers received a raffle entry for every Dh500 spent at participating outlets.

Sharing his astonishment, Mungi, who has resided in Dubai since 2021, said: “Honestly, I’m still in shock. People often attribute such wins to pure luck, but it was suggested to me that this might be a blessing for good deeds done in the past. It’s a humbling thought, indeed, that how we treat others truly matters. I’m grateful to the Dubai Gold Souk Extension for this once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s a delightful surprise that has brought immense joy to my life.”
