Government of Meghalaya today announced the launch of EasyLottery.in, India’s first fully digital lottery in the presence of Mr. Conrad Sangma, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya; Mr. Pravin Bakshi (IAS), Commissioner & Secretary – ERTS, Meghalaya State; Ms. M. S. N. Marak, Director of Meghalaya State Lottery and other dignitaries. The website https://easylottery.in/ also went live on the occasion. In the Big 50 draw, with the first prize of INR 50,00,00,000/-, (fifty crores) EasyLottery.in promises to be a game changer in terms of giving a seamless and transparent lottery experience; right from buying tickets to prize money disbursals.
Mr. Conrad Sangma lauded the endeavours being made towards bringing in more transparency and professionalism to the lottery sector by giving it an end-to-end digital touch. Mr. Sangma also noted that as lottery is purely a game of chance, a transparent digital option such as EasyLottery.in allows individuals and society to benefit. Many Indians today are losing their valuable time to online games and illegal betting apps that are designed to be addictive. So an environment that does not compromise on the fun and benefit society, in his words, ensures that EasyLottery.in is designed to make and not break.
Ms. M.S.N. Marak said, “Despite having a population as large as ours and being one of the most digitally empowered countries in the world, India has had a pronounced gap in its lottery sector until now. With the launch of EasyLottery.in, we are trying to bridge this gap. Our ticket sales, prize payments and tax payments will be done digitally. The only aspect of our cycle from sale to prize disbursement that is not done digitally is the lottery draw itself. This is because we have opted to use the most trusted and transparent methodology, which is the motorised method where the machine cannot be manipulated and therefore the draw outcomes are purely based on chance.”
Mr. Pravin Bakshi.- adds “With EasyLottery.in, we are focusing on three characteristic aspects…trust, transparency and legality. We are bringing it to the people of the country after extensive and intensive research. This innovative platform will revolutionise the way lottery is played in India, and will also eliminate any kind of scam or money laundering that is associated with the lottery sector. EasyLottery.in will put the society and its people first, without compromising on the fun element for lottery enthusiasts and the benefits for the government,”
