Dept. turns down claim saying she is wife of agent who faced allegations
The Kerala High Court has directed the State government to disburse the prize amount of ₹40.95 lakh to the winner of the government’s ‘win win’ lottery, the draw of which was held in 2015.
The directive came on a petition by P. Sitha of Palakkad. The government had turned down her claim, citing that she is the wife of a lottery agent which was suspended by the Lottery Department for indulging in unlawful business practice.
According to the petitioner, she had purchased the lottery ticket from an agent in Palakkad. She contended that she could not be refused the prize amount merely because she was the wife of the owner of a lottery agency which had faced some allegations. She had furnished the original lottery before the Director of State Lotteries.
