How to Play Maharashtra Lottery Games
Playing Maharashtra Lottery games is easy. When you buy a ticket, you receive a unique number. It starts with the series number, followed by four digits. The Maharashtra State runs a paper lottery system, so you can’t play online.
Wait until the draw takes place and check the winning numbers. If your ticket number matches one of the winning codes, you’ll receive the associated prize amount. It’s therefore essential that you keep your ticket safe as you’ll need it to claim any prizes if you win.
Maharashtra State Lottery Prizes
All of the draws in Maharashtra work in a similar way, but the prizes you can win vary between each lottery. One ticket is selected as the jackpot winner, from all of the series that are sold for the draw, and you need to match it exactly to receive the top prize. Winning numbers are also selected in other categories, so there’s a range of prize amounts on offer in each draw. Find out below what prizes you can win in each draw.
