A three-month-old baby became a winner at the Dubai Shopping Festival, winning five kilos of gold in the first weekly draw of the gold promotion.

Five kilos is the same as the recommended weight for a three-month baby.

Mohammed Arshad had his name put on the entry form after his family bought the 10th anniversary coin required to enter the competition.

"I've always believed that my son is lucky and special, so when we bought the 10th anniversary coin we wrote his name on coupon No 22387," said his father.

"By the grace of God he has won this big prize at such a small age. I am sure there will be more winnings for him later."

The promotion is just part of the impressive list of gold giveaways at the Dubai Shopping Festival. Shoppers have a chance to win 1 kilo of gold a day by spending Dh500 on gold, and entering the weekly draws for 5kgs by purchasing a collectable coin for Dh250.

Mohammed Arshad along with others who have purchased the 10th anniversary coin will be in the draw for a ten million dirham cash prize in the grand draw.
