Speaking to ANI, Amit Shera said, "I belong from Kotputli village in Jaipur district. I can't express my happiness. I thank the Punjab government and the lottery agency. All my grief and sorrows have vanished today. I have won Rs 11 crore. I came to Moga with a friend for a visit and bought two tickets, one for myself and one for my wife. I borrowed Rs 1000 from my friend to buy the tickets. My wife's ticket won Rs 1,000, and mine won Rs 11 crore. I am a great devotee of Lord Hanuman."

He further said that he would give 50 lakhs each to the two daughters of his friend.

"I have lost my mother, so I understand the pain of daughters. So I will give Rs 50 lakhs each to the daughters of my friend. I will use the remaining money for my children's education and to build a house. I would like to urge people to take advantage of this scheme of the Punjab government. I wish that the poverty of every person should end," he further added.

An official from the lottery agency said that the first prize of the lottery was Rs 11 crores.

"Today, the prize winner of the Diwali bumper, Amit Shera, came to the lottery office to submit the claim form of Rs 11 crores amount. He purchased the ticket from Bhatinda. Our claim form is available on our website. It can be purchased from our seller also. Winners have to give their details like bank account number, name, address, and original ticket. After getting sanctioned the amount will be transfered to the account. To submit the claim form no money is required, and it has to be submitted to Punjab government office," he added.

He further cautioned that the Punjab government does not run any online lottery scheme, and it is illegal.

"We run only paper lottery, and it has to be taken from the counter," he added.

Hanuman ji ki kripa hai! 🚩 Borrowed 1000 rupees and won 11 crore - this is like a Bollywood movie plot. Hope he invests wisely and doesn't let relatives drain his money.

While I'm happy for him, I wish people wouldn't promote lottery schemes. Most people lose money, and it can become an addiction. The government should focus on better poverty alleviation programs.

His friend must be feeling mixed emotions - happy for him but also wondering "what if" he had kept both tickets! 😅 Still, getting 1 crore for your daughters is life-changing too.

Building a house and children's education - perfect priorities! So many winners splurge on luxury cars and foreign trips. This man understands what really matters in life. 👏

Important warning about online lottery scams at the end. Many fake schemes target desperate people. Always buy from authorized counters only.
