Hope Across Borders

In Ahmedabad, shopkeeper Mahesh often hears about big winners in Nagaland’s Dear Lottery or Kerala’s Onam Bumper. Gujarat itself has a strict ban on lotteries, but that doesn’t stop people — many travel to Maharashtra or Rajasthan to buy tickets, or simply log on to India Lotto to play legally online.

Want to play lottery in Gujarat even though there’s no official one?
Try India Lotto — a trusted platform that lets UP players join legal lotteries from other states, check results instantly, and claim prizes without leaving home.
