The Punjab government operates the Punjab State Lottery under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, which authorizes state-run lotteries to ensure transparency and prevent fraud. Weekly draws like the Dear 50 Chief on Thursdays and Dear 50 Buster on Wednesdays offer prizes up to 15 lakh rupees. Managed by the Directorate of Punjab State Lotteries in Chandigarh, the lottery aims to generate state revenue through traditional paper-based draws, with results published via authorized platforms.
