Meghalaya Government Launches India’s First Fully Digital Lottery Platform: EasyLottery.in
Shillong, 10th September 2024: The Meghalaya Government has taken a pioneering step in the lottery sector by introducing EasyLottery.in, India’s first fully digital lottery platform. The launch took place in the presence of Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, Commissioner & Secretary for ERTS Pravin Bakshi, and Director of Meghalaya State Lottery M. S. N. Marak, among other dignitaries. Alongside the launch, the official website, [https://easylottery.in](https://easylottery.in), also went live, introducing the highly anticipated Big 50 draw, which offers a record-breaking first prize of ₹50 crore.
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma praised the initiative for bringing enhanced transparency and professionalism to the lottery industry. “In an era where illegal betting apps and addictive online games are consuming valuable time and resources, EasyLottery.in stands out as a responsible alternative,” he remarked. “The platform not only ensures entertainment but also contributes to society. When you win, you benefit; when you lose, your contribution through taxes helps build a stronger country.”
M. S. N. Marak, Director of Meghalaya State Lottery, emphasized the importance of addressing gaps in the Indian lottery system. “Despite being one of the world’s most digitally connected nations, India has lagged behind in fully integrating digital processes into its lottery sector. EasyLottery.in is here to change that. From ticket sales to prize disbursals and tax payments, everything will be managed digitally. The only exception is the lottery draw, which uses the trusted motorized draw method, ensuring complete randomness and fairness,” she explained.
Pravin Bakshi, Commissioner & Secretary for ERTS, also highlighted the platform’s core values. “Our focus is on trust, transparency, and legality. EasyLottery.in is the result of extensive research, designed to offer a safe and enjoyable experience for lottery players, while eliminating fraud and money laundering risks that often plague the industry.”
Unique Features of EasyLottery.in
One of the key features of EasyLottery.in is its focus on responsible gaming. The platform is equipped with systems to detect potentially harmful behavior, such as continuous ticket purchases by losing players. In such cases, the system temporarily suspends the user’s account to ensure responsible play. Winning players, however, are not subject to these restrictions.
The platform also takes strong measures to prevent money laundering, adhering to a non-transferable ticket policy—meaning only the original ticket buyer can claim the prize.
Ticket Options and Prize Structure
EasyLottery.in offers three different ticket selection options for players:
1. Random Selection: The system randomly assigns a ticket number.
2. Total Sum Selection: Players choose a digit between one and nine, and the ticket number’s digits will sum to this value.
3. Complete Selection: Players can manually select their preferred ticket numbers.
With a first prize of ₹50 crore, EasyLottery.in boasts the largest prize in the history of Indian lotteries. The odds are also highly favorable, with only 2,60,000 tickets available per draw. Priced at ₹5,000 per ticket, the lottery offers better odds compared to many international lotteries, creating a win-win scenario for both the participants and the state.
EasyLottery.in is set to revolutionize the Indian lottery landscape by offering a secure, transparent, and user-friendly platform that not only provides entertainment but also supports responsible gaming and contributes to the country’s development.
