Sehra, who calls himself a great devotee of Lord Hanuman, said all his grief and sorrows have vanished now.
Brimming with happiness, Sehra thanked the Punjab government and the lottery agency. He added, “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.”
Sehra turns out to be a generous man as he said that he plans to give ₹50 lakh each to the two daughters of his friend. Sharing why he plans to donate this amount to his friend, he said, “I have lost my mother, so I understand the pain of daughters.”
He plans to use the remaining money for his children's education and to build a house.
An official from the lottery agency confirmed to ANI that the first prize of the lottery was ₹11 crore. Further, he warned the public that the Punjab government does not run any online lottery scheme. He added, "The lottery claim process is simple, submit your personal details along with bank information, and attach the original lottery ticket, which is the most important requirement. Without the original ticket, no claim will be considered valid."
