Who Wants to Win a Million? A First-of-Its-Kind Lottery at Phoenix Mall and Riche Terre Mall

Every shopping trip comes with its own rewards. Sometimes it’s tracking down the exact item you needed, and other times it’s stumbling upon something entirely unexpected. These past two months, however, a trip to Phoenix Mall or Riche Terre Mall, two of Mauritius's most popular shopping destinations offered something far bigger: the chance to walk away with a life-changing sum of money.

Run between 1 April and 31 May 2026, the "Qui veut gagner le million?" lottery campaign marked a bold first for both shopping centres. The concept was straightforward: reward loyal shoppers by turning everyday purchases into entry tickets for a massive prize draw worth up to Rs 1,000,000 . Looking back at the sheer volume of receipts scanned over this period, the buzz it generated across the island was undeniable.

Two Malls, Twice the Chances

The beauty of the campaign lay in its simplicity. Anyone who spent Rs 1,000 or more in a single transaction at either Phoenix Mall or Riche Terre Mall was in with a shot. Shoppers simply had to scan one of the many QR codes displayed across the malls, fill out a quick registration form, and upload their receipt to secure their entries.

For two months, routine errands carried a bit of theatre. Whether visitors were doing the weekly grocery run, catching up over lunch, updating their wardrobes, or buying household essentials, every receipt became a potential golden ticket. Across both venues, the daily conversation quickly shifted from "What did you buy?" to "Have you scanned your receipt yet?"

A Line-up Worth Chasing

While the headline act was undoubtedly the staggering Rs 1,000,000 cash grand prize, the rest of the prize pool was just as carefully curated to get people talking.

Over the course of the campaign, participants eagerly lined up for a chance to win:

• Rs 1,000,000 Cash Grand Prize 
• 2 Air Tickets to Australia
• Electronic Bundle
• 1 Year Free Grocery at Carrefour
• Yamaha 125cc Scooter
• Home Bundle
• Shopping Spree in our Malls
• iPhone 17
• Musical Battery Set
• BBQ Gas Grill

Creating More Than a Shopping Experience in Mauritius

At the heart of this campaign was a simple philosophy that Ascencia has long embraced: a mall should be more than just a place with cash registers and shop fronts. Over the years, both Phoenix Mall and Riche Terre Mall have evolved into community hubs across Mauritius; spaces where families gather, friends catch up over coffee, and memories are made.

This lottery was designed to add an extra layer of excitement to those daily interactions. By turning a normal day out into an experience filled with anticipation, the campaign gave visitors a little thrill with every visit, serving as a giant "thank you" to the community for making these malls such a vibrant part of their lives.

And the Winners Are...

With the official draw now concluded, this amazing first edition has officially come to a close. In total, 10 lucky winners walked away with prizes ranging from high-tech gadgets and shopping sprees right up to the million-rupee grand prize.

A massive thank you to everyone who scanned, registered, and took part. If you missed out this time, keep your eyes glued to the Phoenix Mall and Riche Terre Mall social media pages. The next big opportunity might be closer than you think.
