The lucky winner on Wednesday submitted the ticket and required documents to the State Lotteries Department here for encashment of the prize.
Expressing happiness over winning the first prize, Asha said, “I had never thought in my wildest dreams that one day I will become a crorepati. It’s a dream come true for me and my family”. She said that her husband has a scrap shop at Baghapurana in Moga district and both her sons are also working in the shop.
