Variable interest and interest under other names, prize bonds and accounts : saving certificates with prizes

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum ! in U. A. E there is a bank called "Mashreq". They have a scheme in which the people can buy 'savings certificates' on whom no interest is given but there is a draw for such holders. So people usually buy this to enter the draw. My question is : Islamically is this permissible ? if you haven't understood the real nature of this kindly refer to the following site www.mashreqbank.com, this scheme is popularly known as "Mashreq Millionaire". Kindly answer my question. Thanks and Regards
