The Punjab state administration conducted the draw for its sought-after bumper scheme, the Dear 200 Monthly Lottery, on October 3, 2026. Setting itself apart from standard routine lottery draws, the Punjab State Dear 200 Monthly edition provides a grand jackpot prize of Rs 1.5 crore. Official draw proceedings commenced at 6:00 pm from the Camp Office situated in Ludhiana. Each entry ticket for this special monthly scheme was retailed at Rs 200. Alongside this major bumper event, the administration is also issuing the outcome for its regular Saturday fixture, the Dear 50 Jackal lottery.
Tiered Prize Claim Rules Based on Winning Amounts
State guidelines prescribe distinct claim paths depending on the exact value won by ticket holders. Participants holding winning tickets worth less than Rs 10,000 can collect their payout directly through any authorized retailer or local lottery counter across Punjab, eliminating administrative delays for minor payouts.
For earnings falling between Rs 10,000 and Rs 1 lakh, payouts cannot be settled by local shopkeepers. Winners inside this bracket are required to submit the winning ticket directly to the designated Punjab State Lottery Office for official recording and processing.
Formal Protocol for Major Bumper Awards Above Rs 1 Lakh
Claimants who secure awards surpassing Rs 1 lakh, including the grand bumper jackpot of Rs 1.5 crore, must follow higher administrative procedures. These high-value tickets must be presented directly before the Directorate of Lotteries under the Punjab Government. Official verification is executed at this ministerial level to confirm ticket authenticity before payments are cleared.
Deadlines and Mandatory Paperwork for Prize Processing
Ticket holders face a strict deadline to complete their verification paperwork. Official regulations require all winning tickets to be lodged within a window of 30 to 90 days from the draw date. Delaying the submission beyond this designated period risks forfeiting the prize entirely.
Claimants must supply the following documentation alongside their physical ticket
- The original winning ticket bearing the claimant's signature on the reverse side.
- A photocopy of an Aadhaar card or an alternative government-issued identity document.
- Complete bank account details, supported by either a bank passbook photocopy or an original cancelled cheque.
Proper preservation of the original ticket is critical, as mutilated or unverified entries can disrupt the disbursement process before the statutory deadline lapses.
