Is the first prize drawn from all tickets, or only sold ones?

Is tax deducted from winnings?
Yes. TDS is deducted at source on prize payments, as per the Punjab State Lotteries Rules, 2015. For what you personally owe beyond that, check with a tax professional — we can’t advise on individual tax positions.
Can I buy from outside Punjab?
Lottery law differs by state in India, and several states prohibit lottery ticket sales entirely. Please confirm that buying is permitted where you live before you order. Winners based abroad are paid in Indian currency.
Where do I watch the live draw?
The official stream runs on the Punjab Lotteries website on draw day. We send the link and result updates to everyone who books through us.
