6‑year‑old from Madhya Pradesh wins Rs 50 lakh car after family buys lottery coupon

A six‑year‑old boy from Madhya Pradesh has been declared the winner of a car worth Rs 50 lakh, according to a report by India Today. The prize was secured after the boy’s family bought a lottery coupon, and the win was confirmed a year later. The vehicle, valued at half a crore rupees, will be handed over to the family following the standard verification process. India Today reported the development, highlighting the rare occurrence of such a high‑value prize being awarded to a child.

The family’s purchase of the coupon a year ago set the stage for the unexpected win, underscoring the long‑term nature of some lottery schemes. While details of the lottery operator were not disclosed, the announcement confirms that the boy, aged six, is now the rightful owner of the automobile.

The award adds to a growing list of high‑value lottery prizes in India, though such wins remain uncommon. The car’s delivery is expected to take place after the necessary documentation is completed, according to the source.
