Spot The DubiCars Lambo Winner: Maurine Wins AED 30,000

Dubai-based business owner Maurine is the Spot The DubiCars Lambo winner. Spot The DubiCars Lambo was a week-long competition DubiCars ran with Virgin Radio Dubai, on The Kris Fade Show. A purple Lamborghini Urus wearing the DubiCars logo drove around Dubai, and anyone who spotted it and sent in a photo had a chance to win AED 30,000 in cash.

Maurine spotted the purple Lamborghini Urus on Friday, the last day of the competition, sent in her photograph, and took home the AED 30,000 cash prize at the Virgin Radio Dubai studio.

It was a one-entry win, and her entry landed just an hour before the competition closed. If you’ve ever told yourself there’s no point entering a competition at the last minute, Maurine would like a word with you.

How Maurine Spotted The Purple Lambo

Maurine and her husband had been following the competition since it launched on Monday, 26 October. They listen to Virgin Radio Dubai every morning on the school run, so the Spot The DubiCars Lambo ads were part of the commute all week.

On Friday, after dropping the kids at school, she dropped her husband at work, and that’s when she spotted the Purple Lamborghini Urus. She sent in a picture, and it turned out to be the winning one.

“It was great, great timing,” she told us. “The competition was exciting. I was following it since Monday, and won on Friday. It’s as if it was meant to be.”

The Moment She Found Out

When the call came to say she’d won, there was screaming. Lots of it. Maurine says she was excited and thankful in equal measure, and then the business owner in her kicked in, and she started planning what to do with the money almost straight away.

What She’ll Do With AED 30,000

The prize couldn’t have come at a better moment. Maurine Ogada runs SkinSoko, a K-beauty store that curates Korean skincare for deeper skin tones and promotes the right use of sunscreen for the prevention of skin cancer. She describes it as the first-ever direct-to-consumer store of its kind. What’s even more interesting is that, SkinSoko celebrated its first anniversary on Sunday, just one day before she collected her prize.

The prize money is going back into SkinSoko. As Maurine puts it, when you are in the start-up phase of building a business with a cause behind it, more funds are always welcome.

Find It On Dubi: From A Jetour T2 To A Dream Mercedes

Like plenty of UAE families, Maurine does the school run in an SUV. She currently drives a Jetour T2, the most-popular Chinese 4×4, and her dream car is a Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe with red or burgundy interiors.

She hadn’t used DubiCars before the competition, but she says that’s changed now. When it’s time for her next car, she plans to find it on Dubi.

The Handover At Virgin Radio

Maurine collected her AED 30,000 at the Virgin Radio Dubai studio on Monday, 02 November, after her win was announced on The Kris Fade Show on Friday. DubiCars’ CEO Craig Stevens handed over the cheque.

Before the handover, Craig spoke on the show: “This was one of those ideas where we wondered whether the crew would take to it and make it happen. But, listening in all week and hearing how much fun everyone has had with it has been amazing.”

Why DubiCars Sent A Purple Lambo Around Dubai

All week, from 26 to 30 October, the DubiCars Lamborghini Urus was driven around the city with no fixed route, with presenters from The Kris Fade Show behind the wheel. Listeners who spotted it sent a photo to the Virgin Radio studio WhatsApp or shared it on an Instagram Story tagging @dubicars and @virginradiodxb with #DubiCarsLambo. One winner was then picked at random from all entries.

The purple colour was no accident. Vivid Royal Purple is the signature shade of the new DubiCars identity, chosen because it’s distinctive and premium. Putting it on a Lamborghini and sending it out into Dubai traffic was the boldest way to show off the new look.

The DubiCars Lambo comes courtesy of Luxury Supercar Rentals, one of Dubai’s go-to names for supercar rentals. If spotting it leaves you wanting to drive one yourself, you can: this exact purple Lamborghini Urus is available to rent from AED 2,800 a day, with insurance and free delivery in Dubai included.

The competition was also part of Find It On DubiCars, the message you’ve been hearing on Virgin Radio and Dubai 92 and seeing on over 200 digital screens across the city. The idea is simple: whatever car you’re after, from a family SUV for the school run to a purple supercar, you can find it on Dubi, the one marketplace for smarter choices, with more than 2.5 million monthly users.

Whatever car you’re thinking of, find it on Dubi with over 25,000 listings.
