Punjab state declared the results for its weekly bumper draw on November 1, 2026. Titled the Dear 50 Ranger Sunday lottery, the live drawing proceedings commenced at 6:30 pm on Sunday from the official Camp Office situated in Ludhiana. Each entry for this weekly scheme was retailed at a price of Rs 50 per ticket. Participants in this draw stood a chance to secure a maximum top prize of Rs 21 lakh, with multiple prize brackets decided during the evening session.
Claim Process Based on Prize Amounts
The state lottery administration has laid down a structured verification and payout system categorized strictly by the scale of the winnings. Ticket holders who secure prize amounts below Rs 10,000 are eligible to redeem their winnings directly across Punjab at any designated lottery retailer or authorized ticket counter. This localized redemption allows winners of modest sums to collect their payouts without lengthy procedural formalities.
For winners whose reward falls anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 1 lakh, local retailers cannot disburse the funds directly. Instead, claimants in this middle bracket must formally present and deposit their lucky winning tickets at the Punjab State Lottery Office. The department checks the integrity of the submitted ticket against its official registers before sanctioning the disbursement.
Requirements for Payouts Exceeding Rs 1 Lakh
Participants holding tickets eligible for bumper amounts exceeding Rs 1 lakh face the highest level of administrative scrutiny. Such major winners are mandated to submit their winning entries directly to the Directorate of Lotteries under the Punjab government. The directorate oversees comprehensive authentication to prevent fraudulent claims before authorizing the transfer of large sums.
Claim Deadlines and Mandatory Documents
Ticket holders must act within a strict operational window, as submissions must be completed within 30 to 90 days of the draw date. Delaying the process or failing to submit the documentation within this specified timeframe risks forfeiting the entitlement entirely.
Claimants are required to furnish specific paperwork alongside their winning entry to complete the verification process successfully
- The original winning lottery ticket, duly signed by the holder on its reverse side.
- A clear photocopy of an Aadhaar card or another government-approved identity credential.
- Bank account particulars supported by a photocopy of the bank passbook or an official cancelled cheque.
