Dubai :<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A newly-wed Indian woman, who was visiting her husband in Dubai, has won a prime property in her home state in a competition run by a radio station, according to a media report.<\/p>\n

Sruthymol V, 24, won the property three months after her marriage, when she flew into Dubai on a visit visa.<\/p>\n

Sruthymol, who has graduated in computer science and engineering, was selected as the winner of 2,500 sqft of prime property in her home state Kerala in a competition run by Malayalam radio station Hit 96.7 FM, the Khaleej Times said.<\/p>\n

She ‘hit the jackpot’ when her winning message was picked by the station’s randomiser from among a whopping 4.4 million messages the channel received for the contest held to mark its 10th anniversary in June.<\/p>\n

“He (her husband Maneesh) had promised to get me a mobile phone when I go back to India if I don’t get a job. But he decided to buy the phone soon because of these contests run by Hit 96.7 FM,” the newspaper quoted her as saying.<\/p>\n

To participate in the competition, listeners had to send free messages through the channel’s mobile app.<\/p>\n

Sruthymol sent 1,922 messages in total, which is low compared to some senders who texted more than 20,000 messages.<\/p>\n

No radio contests have given away such generous prizes to its listeners in the UAE.<\/p>\n

“This is a record number of listener interaction under our group ARN’s radio network. We are checking if it is a record at the national or international level,” said Maya Kartha, deputy content director at Hit 96.7 FM.<\/p>\n

Located close to the Kochi Smart City project, a joint venture of the Dubai and Kerala governments, the plot won by Sruthymol is valued at about Rs 4 million.<\/p>\n

The couple wishes to build a home on the plot which is in the frontage area of a gated community being developed. PTI<\/p>\n
