Anyone doing the Mashreq Millionnaires?

I've learnt that last month's winner banks at my branch... I know objectively that won't change my own odds of winning, but subjectively you do tend to feel lighting doesn't strike etc.

:curse:

cashed mine in and bought national bonds with them! bigger chance of winning - already won about 700 dhs.

ooh who's that with?

jvr20

oh found it - www.nationalbonds.ae
thanks for the tip!

Blue Cat

they are only 10 dhs each - it is savings plan - you accrue interest as well on your investment if I remember rightly. We have won nearly every month since we joined, it is more like UK premium bonds.

there's a 2.5% charge for purchasing online - is that the same if you buy them in person at their exchange outlets?

Blue Cat

no just got along to any Al Ghurair exchange and get them, that is what I do. I tend to use Wafi as it is quiet. You could check and see if there is one in the Sahara Centre.

thanks - their website is pretty good, lists loads of outlets by emirate and locality - my nearest is just near my flat in Shj
