Kuwait-5 January 2012: Gulf Bank announced today at a press conference held at the Sheraton Hotel that the draw for the Al Danah Millionaire will be held live at the Avenues Mall on January 5th 2012. In addition, the ten Al Danah weekly winners, each awarded with prizes of KD 1,000 will also be announced live at the event.

The draw will be the high point of an extraordinary celebration event, starting at 7pm and hosted by Ambassador of Goodwill and the Gulf Song, Abdallah Al-Ruwaished and Best Selling Lebanese Artist Najwa Karam. The draw itself will be conducted under the supervision of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

In addition to the Al Danah draw, the public will also be able to enjoy some entertainment as the evening's proceedings will serve as a platform to inform the public about the Bank's 2012 Al Danah draw lineup, as well as the benefits of opening an Al Danah account.

Mr. Aly Shalaby, Gulf Bank's General Manager-Consumer Banking Group said: "This year's final Al Danah draw brings together two of the region's greatest performers to announce the winner of the largest single draw prize in the region.  We are very proud to have Abdallah Al-Ruwaished and Najwa Karam jointly hosting this event, which I know will be an exciting time for everyone.  It's not often that someone, picked at random, wins 1 Million Dinars.

At Gulf Bank, we take pride in our commitment to making a difference in people's lives and helping them become financially secure.  Our Al Danah account is a great example of this, providing a very convenient and valuable banking service as well as automatically enrolling customers into multiple unique prize draws each year, providing them with opportunities to win large cash prizes and the possibility of financial security for life."

Customers can open an Al Danah account or increase their deposits through various convenient channels. Deposits can be made by using any Gulf Bank ATM, through online banking, calling the Customer Contact Center on 1805805, visiting one of the Bank's 55 branches or logging on to www.e-gulfbank.com, Gulf Bank's bilingual website, to find all the information regarding Al Danah or any of the Bank's products and services.
