Lotto India
Lotto-India is a new National Lottery available to play across India and from locations around the world. It is an online lottery for Indian people everywhere, offering the opportunity to win jackpots of at least ₹4 Crore – larger than some state lotteries - along with three extra tiers of great prizes and the Free Bet Bonus for matching just the Joker Ball. Draws take place at 18.00 IST every Tuesday and Friday, and results can be found by clicking the link below directly after each draw.
How to Play Lotto-India
To play Lotto India, select six numbers between 1 and 50 and one Joker Ball between 1 and 5. Entries cost ₹40 per panel. You win prizes by matching your numbers with those randomly selected in the Lotto India draw; match all six numbers and the Joker Ball to win the jackpot. Matching fewer than all six balls will still win you a prize as long as you match three or more.
The Free Bet Bonus gives you a chance to win a free entry into another Lotto India draw; all you have to do to win it is match the Joker Ball. The table below shows all the prizes on offer:
| Match | Odds | Prize (Rs) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 + Joker | 1 in 79,453,500 | ₹4 Crore |
| 5 | 1 in 75,240 | ₹80,000 |
| 4 | 1 in 1,399 | ₹4,000 |
| 3 | 1 in 74 | ₹400 |
| 2 | 1 in 39 | ₹40 |
| 1 + Joker | 1 in 12 | Free Bet Bonus |
| 0 + Joker | 1 in 11 | Free Bet Bonus |
| Overall odds of winning a Lotto-India prize: 1 in 3 Overall odds of winning a Free Bet: 1 in 5 |

These prizes allow the operators of Lotto India to give away a huge jackpot prize, along with three extra levels of prizes, for a very low ticket cost. If you match between two and five numbers as well as the Joker Ball, you still win a payout larger than your entry fee.
You will be contacted by email if you win a prize, and also by telephone if you win the jackpot. Smaller prizes are paid directly into your online account, where you can choose to withdraw the money to your bank account or use it to purchase entries to future draws. The jackpot is paid by bank transfer after verification checks have been conducted.
Bumper Draws
Occasionally, Lotto India holds special Bumper Draws, in which the usual jackpot prize is boosted even higher, up to ₹40 Crore. You enter Bumper Draws exactly the same way you would any standard draw, and tickets cost the same.
Bumper Draws aren’t scheduled for any specific date – they will be announced on the Lotto India website in advance. Bookmark the Media page to find out when the next Bumper Draw is due to take place.
The first ever Lotto india draw took place on Friday 14th June and was, itself, a Bumper Draw with a jackpot of ₹10 Crore.
