The Filipino nurse who won Dh100,000 (Php1.4 million approx.) at City Centre Mirdif mall on February 2 targets to use a portion of her winnings in helping the family of a sweeper in a company she works in.
Angela Mortos said that the sweeper never fails to say “good morning” to her each day.
“This sweet man does not know much English, but he makes it a point to say good morning to me everyday, and it makes my day. He is a complete stranger, but I want to be a blessing to him,” she said when asked about what is the first thing she would do with her prize.
She also wants to spend a part of the money to fix her deceased parents resting place back home.
“They died a about 10 years ago and their graves need attention. So, this is definitely something the money will go towards,” she added.
Mortos won the money by spinning the Million Dirham Wheel at City Centre Mirdif mall, as part of the Dubai Shopping Festival.
To enter the draw, visitors had to spend Dh350 or more in the mall, then present their receipts to staff at any customer service desk.
From all the names entered, Angela was picked on February 2 for the opportunity to spin the mall’s Million Dirham Wheel.
