When one wish changed a family’s destiny
In a heartwarming twist of fate, the Punjab State Dear Diwali Bumper Lottery 2025 has created overnight millionaires across the state — including a young boy from Ludhiana who won ₹1 crore after convincing his uncle to buy a ticket at the last moment. The grand draw, held in Ludhiana, distributed a massive ₹36.14 crore in prize money, spreading festive joy ahead of Diwali.
The top jackpot of ₹11 crore — known as the King Ticket — went to a lucky winner from Bathinda, whose ticket number A 438586 became the talk of the town. While the identity of the winner remains unknown, the excitement surrounding the Bathinda jackpot has gripped the state.
The “last ticket” that changed everything
Among the many winners, Ludhiana’s Aarav, a young boy from Hoshiarpur, became an internet sensation after his ₹1 crore win. Aarav lives with his uncle Karan, a local property dealer in Ludhiana’s Haibowal area. According to Karan, the win was pure destiny.
“On the evening before the draw, Aarav insisted, ‘Mamu, let’s buy a lottery ticket!’” Karan recalled. “So, we went to Gandhi Brothers near Ghanta Ghar and bought the last five remaining tickets. Who knew the final one would make us crorepatis?”
As fate would have it, the “last ticket” turned out to be the winning one.
A Diwali night to remember
Karan and Aarav watched the draw live on YouTube at 8 PM, their hearts pounding as numbers rolled across the screen. When their ticket number was called as a ₹1 crore winner, the duo jumped in disbelief before bursting into joy.
Within minutes, their neighborhood came alive — drums, sweets, and fireworks filled the air as news spread that a local boy had struck gold. “I had bought tickets from two different shops,” Karan said, “but luck favored the one Aarav chose.”
The story of the “boy who convinced his uncle” quickly went viral across Punjab, inspiring thousands who still believe in the power of luck and faith.
A record-breaking Diwali lottery draw
