Shocked, yet thrilled, Mahmoode couldn"t believe it when he received the call from Marina FM's Khalid Al Ansari, announcing him as Kuwait's new Al Danah KD millionaire.

The surprised Mahmoode said: "What a wonderful way to start the New Year!  I never imagined that I would actually win this astounding prize. Gulf Bank has again proved they are a Bank that can be relied upon.  They have now given me and my family financial security for life.  I cannot explain the feeling right now.  I am still in shock! "

"Without a doubt, Al Danah is the most convenient and useful bank account for people who want to save money and at the same time have the chance to win the biggest single prize in the Middle East. I have been saving into my Al Danah account since 2006.

Al Danah will be re-launched early in 2009 whereby Gulf Bank will announce the mechanics of Al Danah along with the draw dates.  Customers are therefore encouraged to keep their money in their accounts until the launch of Al Danah 2009.
