I can’t express my happiness,” Sehara told ANI. “I thank the Punjab government and the lottery agency. All my grief and sorrows have vanished today. I have won Rs 11 crore. I came to Moga with a friend for a visit and bought two tickets, one for myself and one for my wife. I borrowed Rs 1,000 from my friend to buy the tickets. My wife’s ticket won Rs 1,000, and mine won Rs 11 crore.
