Development Lotteries Board, renowned for launching innovative ways to satisfy customers has just introduced a new lottery ticket titled ‘’Ada Kotipathiya” (Today’s millionaire) that has revolutionized the market.  The draws for the new lottery will be held on all seven days of the week.

The new lottery ticket, launched on 15th August, will conduct its inaugural draw on Thursday 31st August 2017.   The array of prizes offered are also innovatively designed starting with a mammoth jackpot of Rs. 50 million. A collection of other prizes ranging from Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 1,000,000 are also offered.

The unique format in the new 7-day lottery has a combination of 75 numbers combined with letters from the English alphabet on 26 balls to choose the final lucky winners.  What is even more unusual is that each ticket gets two chances to win.  Soon after the main draw, there will be a second draw for the balance balls to select 4 numbers from the same machine.  The prizes will be given as follows:  Rs. 20/- for 2 numbers, Rs. 500/- for 3 numbers and Rs. 50,000/- for 4 numbers.
