Millions of lottery winnings, the old man fell asleep!

The Dhaka Times Desk There was poverty in his family. To get rid of it, he used to buy lottery sometimes. But Indranarayan Sen, a resident of Kalna in East Burdwan, India, did not think about winning the first prize and becoming a millionaire.

He practically fell asleep after winning the prize of one crore rupees. He approached the police for security. On the other hand, two people in Kalna won a prize of one crore taka in the space of a few days, and the interest among lottery buyers and sellers is at an extreme.

Indra Narayan, a senior resident of Sahapara in Satgachi Panchayat, Kalnar, India, said his son owns a small gold shop in Guptipara, Hooghly. The boy made gold jewelry and sold it. The family runs on his earnings and Indra Narayan's pension. That is why he sometimes went to Guptipara. He used to buy tickets from a lottery shop next to his son's shop.

In that habit, Indra Narayan bought a lottery ticket for 60 rupees on December 29. The result of the lottery was supposed to be announced at 8 pm that day. Indra Narayan started selling those tickets sitting in Guptipara.

Indra Narayan could not believe his eyes after matching several times. The first prize ticket number was his. Later he settled down a bit. By that time word of his winning the lottery spread in the area.

He returned home in such a situation. Indra Narayan said that he could not close his eyes at night because of the excitement and the security of the tickets. As soon as the bank opened in the morning, he rushed to the State Bank.

The bank staff told him the rules and regulations for getting money. But he could not be convinced of that. He demanded security after appearing at Kalna police station the next day. The police also assured him of all help. After that Indra Narayan got some relief.

However, Indra Narayan said that his worries will not end until he gets the money. He said that he has a large family of 9 including his wife, two sons and daughter-in-law and grandchildren. The earnings of boys are not that much. I have to manage the family somehow with my pension and the little earnings of my sons. If you get this money, that situation will be solved to some extent. Lottery winner Indra Narayan said that everything will be done to get the money by talking to the concerned lottery stockist very soon.
