Prithvi Singh, a driver and daily-wage labourer from Sirsa district, has transformed his life overnight. He won the massive Rs 10 crore jackpot in the Punjab State Dear Lottery's Lohri–Makar Sankranti Bumper 2026. This incredible win has turned him into an instant crorepati.
From Humble Village to Lottery Fortune
Prithvi Singh lives in Mohammadpuriya village, located in the Rania area of Sirsa. He purchased the winning ticket from lottery seller Madan Lal at Killianwali Mandi. The ticket cost him Rs 500 and bore the lucky number 327706. This was only his second attempt at buying lottery tickets.
He had bought three tickets priced at Rs 500, Rs 200, and Rs 100. The most expensive ticket, the Rs 500 one, brought him the jackpot. Madan Lal, the seller, personally called Prithvi to deliver the exciting news.
Family Life and Immediate Celebrations
Prithvi lives with his wife Suman, daughter Ritika, six-year-old son Daksh, and father Devi Lal. While Prithvi works as a driver and labourer, Suman serves as a peon in a nearby school. News of the lottery win sparked immediate celebrations at their home.
Relatives and villagers gathered quickly, beating drums and welcoming Prithvi with garlands made of currency notes. The house has been flooded with congratulatory messages since the announcement. Everyone shared in the family's joy.
Seller's Experience and Family's Plans
Madan Lal, the lottery seller, has been in the business for many years. He has sold tickets that won prizes between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 5 crore before. However, he described this Rs 10 crore win as the biggest prize so far in his experience.
Prithvi Singh shared his excitement about the win. He plans to use the prize money to start his own business. His young son Daksh expressed the family's happiness by declaring they would now buy a Thar SUV. Suman called the win a divine blessing, saying the family never imagined such a dramatic change in their lives.
Claim Process and Net Winnings
To claim the prize, Prithvi will submit his Aadhaar card, PAN card, bank passbook, and the original winning ticket at the lottery office in Chandigarh. After the mandatory 30% tax deduction, approximately Rs 7 crore will be deposited directly into his bank account. This substantial amount will provide financial security for his family.
The story of Prithvi Singh highlights how a single ticket can change destinies. From a modest village life to crorepati status, his journey inspires many. The celebrations in Mohammadpuriya village continue as the community rejoices in his good fortune.
