A strange thing happened in the Kerala Lottery Commissioner’s office in June 2023, reports Kerala Kaumudi. The lucky winner of Vishu Bumper was finally identified as a native of Kozhikode. But that is all that the public will ever be told.
The winner requested to the lottery department not to disclose his/her information and left after accepting the prize money of Rs 7.58 crore after deducting tax.
The winner of that bumper draw had just about made it to the lottery department on June 22 with the ticket as the deadline to claim the prize was about to end. The name of the lucky winner will remain a secret as he has requested not to reveal his name.
Similarly, in January last, OnManorama reported how in an unusual development, a lottery winner in Thrissur has chosen not to disclose his/her identity. Another winner of the Pooja Bumper which carries a first prize of Rs 10 crore also chose to remain anonymous. So is the lucky person who won the Rs 16 crore Christmas-New Year Bumper.
Winners can request the Kerala State Lotteries Department to not reveal his/her personal information.
Anoop, an auto driver, who won the Onam Bumper had later reportedly told the media that his family had to relocate to avoid the flow of constant pleas for loans, and financial assistance, not just from friends, relatives, neighbours, etc. but also from complete strangers.
