56-year-old Jaipalan PR could never have imagined that one day he would win a lottery worth Rs 12 crore. People used to call him ‘auto wale bhaiya…’ but today the whole of Kerala is desperate to know about him! Jayapalan lives in Maradu, near Kochi, with his family, consisting of his 95-year-old mother, wife and two children.
He comes from a poor family who worked hard and gave a golden future to their children. However, now his life has completely changed. Now after becoming the owner of crores, he has many dreams which are going to come true. According to the news agency, the name of the auto driver who won the lottery of 12 crores is Jayapalan PR. He has won such a huge amount through fancy lottery tickets. Jaipalan hails from Maradu near Kochi.
Jayapalan told that when he came to know about the lottery number winning the bumper prize through TV, his happiness knew no bounds. According to the report, on Monday morning, Jayapalan deposited the ticket at Canara Bank’s Pallinada branch, after which the news of him winning the bumper lottery went viral.
Jayapalan used to buy “Onam bumper ticket” every year. “I usually buy only one bumper ticket every season and this time luck favored me,” he said. The family will spend a part of this amount to build a house and pay off its debt.
It was told that the result of the lottery was declared the next day after Onam, in which Jaipalan’s lottery has been started. The lottery ticket number of the winner of the result announced on Sunday is TE 645465. After winning the lottery, Jayapalan told media persons, “I had bought this lottery ticket from Tripunithura on September 10. I came to know that it is a fancy number.”
According to the report, the auto driver will get Rs 7 crore after paying tax out of a lottery of Rs 12 crore. Kerala Lotteries’ Thiruvonam bumper lottery result draw took place on Sunday at Gorky Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram.
According to a statement issued by the Kerala State Lottery Directorate, the state finance minister KN Balgopal inaugurated the draw. State Transport Minister Antony Raju presided over the function. During this Onam bumper lottery result was released for 54 lakh tickets sold across the state.
However, he will not get the full Rs 12 crore even after winning the bumper prize. Because a lot of money will go to tax and agency commission. Of the total Rs 12 crore, 10 per cent will go as agency commission. After deducting the tax, he will get Rs 7.39 crore. news credit: janjwar
