Playwin is an online lottery run by the Essel Group through PAN India and sanctioned by the Sikkim government.
The Playwin lottery is temporarily paused as the Essel Group had to sell of parts of their operations to cover debts.[1]
The biggest Playwin jackpot was from the Thursday Super Lotto game, amounting more than Rs.17crore rupees, and won by a resident of Kolkata Mr Jay Prakash Jaiswal. In 2006, Mid-Day reported [2] that there was no taker for a winning jackpot ticket in Pune with prize money of Rs 2 Crores. In August 2015, Playwin handed over cheques worth over Rs 9 Crores to its jackpot winners at a grand ceremony held at hotel The Lalit in Santa Cruz, Mumbai.[3]
