The world's richest horse racing event, the Dubai World Cup anticipates more than 60,000 international visitors this year at the Meydan Racecourse. Visitors will have a chance to win one million miles in a raffle draw from Skywards, the frequent flyer programme of Emirates airline.

Skywards is once again offering a top prize of one million miles in its 11th annual 'Thanks a Million' draw at the Dubai World Cup on Saturday, March 26. Funds raised will go to three charities: Dubai Centre for Special Needs, the Red Crescent, and the UN World Food Programme.

One million Skywards Miles is equivalent to 22 return Emirates tickets to Europe or 19 to the Far East from Dubai. The first runner-up will win 500,000 Miles (enough for 12 return tickets to Europe), and the second runner-up will win 250,000 Miles (enough for six return tickets to Europe).

In addition, on 24 March, there will be a prize of 250,000 Miles at the 'Breakfast with the Stars', the annual Dubai World Cup breakfast event providing racing enthusiasts the opportunity to watch the horses (the "stars") exercise on the track at the Meydan Racecourse paddock, and another prize of 250,000 Miles at the Arabian Nights event at Meydan arena adjacent to the Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa.

Now in its 11th year, the Skywards Thanks a Million draw has raised over Dh2 million for various charities such as Riding for the Disabled Association of Dubai (RDAD), Unicef, UAE Red Crescent and Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre. – Emirates 24|7
