The atmosphere at the Thandrai residence is all charged these days, and with a good reason too! All set to welcome the arrival of his new born in two weeks time, Manoj Thandrai was a witness to "God's double dose of love" recently. His first ever win at the Postcard Millionaire's draw for AED 100000.

"This is definitely a symbol of God's love and an indication of what the future is going to be. I had reserved all excitement for the new entry, but his win has just led to an overflow of emotions within me. My wife and I are both thrilled beyond words,” said Manoj.

After, establishing his family business in Kerela, Manoj came to Dubai 10 years back on the insistence of his brother and since then has been working in the Warehouse division of European Perfume Company in Sharjah. After his marriage, he brought his wife and aging parents to live with them in the emirates.

A regular purchaser of the Postcard Millionaire packs, Manoj finally gained his windfall on the 14th of February, validating his faith in the product. The pack was purchased from Humaid Grocery in Sharjah just a few days prior to the draw. "This win has strengthened my belief in the product and I am definitely going to buy more such packs in future." A careful planner, Manoj intends to invest his fortune partly in the family business while utilizing the balance to secure his family's future.

Manoj’s winning number 2207068959 was drawn by EMP officials, during the 19th Draw of the Postcard Millionaire campaign which was held at Al Quoz.
