The lottery includes weekly draws like the Dear 50 BEAST Monday and Dear 50 RANGER Sunday, each offering prizes up to 15 lakh rupees. Managed by the Directorate of Punjab State Lotteries in Chandigarh, these draws attract many participants who await official results published through authorized channels.
