The humble life of Amit Sehra, a vegetable vendor from Kotputli, Rajasthan, took an incredible turn when he recently won a staggering 110 million rupees in a Punjab lottery. This remarkable win brought about significant changes, yet also a storm of challenges in the form of persistent scam calls and threats. Amit's mobile started buzzing with calls from unknown people demanding money, some even attempting to blackmail him. Amid this, Amit decided to turn off his phone and temporarily leave with his family for their safety.
The 32-year-old Amit runs a small vegetable stall by the roadside in Kotputli, making a modest income to support his family. He bought a lottery ticket for 500 rupees from Bathinda, Punjab, with the winning ticket number being A438586. On the evening of October 31, when the lottery draw was announced in Ludhiana, the first prize of 110 million rupees was revealed, instantly transforming Amit's destiny.
In his jubilation, Amit credited his close friend Mukesh Sen, from whom he borrowed the 500 rupees to buy the ticket. Following the win, Amit, along with his family, traveled to Bathinda to complete the claims process for the lottery. Upon returning to Kotputli, he was greeted like a local hero with drums, sweets, and a jubilant crowd ready to celebrate his extraordinary fortune.
