Manohar Lal, a retired shopkeeper, has won the first prize in the Punjab State Dear 100 Monthly Lottery – and the ticket wasn’t even picked by him!
🎟️ How a Simple Market Visit Changed His Life
Manohar Lal, who earlier ran a small grocery store, now lives a quiet retired life at home while his sons take care of the business. A few days ago, he went out with his granddaughter to buy vegetables in the local market. During the outing, they stopped by Roopchand Lottery Center, a shop run by Bobby, a well-known local lottery seller.
At the shop, it was his granddaughter who casually picked a lottery ticket out of the pile – a spontaneous gesture with life-changing results. Manohar Lal decided to go ahead and buy the ticket she chose, never imagining what was in store.
🎉 Ticket Number A 50344 Wins First Prize
According to lottery operator Bobby, the ticket purchased by Manohar Lal – A 50344 – turned out to be the winner of the ₹15 lakh first prize in the latest draw of the Punjab State Dear 100 Monthly Lottery.
Bobby stated that after the draw results were announced yesterday, he tried multiple times to contact the winner, but Manohar Lal’s phone was unreachable. Finally, after verifying the winning number, Bobby took a box of sweets and visited the family personally to deliver the good news.

He expressed gratitude towards his granddaughter and laughed, saying,
“She’s now the little goddess of our home!”
