Chandigarh, April 13

A Rajpura man has hit Rs 1-crore jackpot by winning the ‘Punjab State Dear 100 Monday Weekly Lottery’.

Tinku Kumar, who works as a contractor, said he had been purchasing lottery tickets for the past 15 years. After submitting the ticket and relevant documents to the State Lotteries Department here to claim the prize money, Kumar said he had purchased the winning ticket for Rs 100.

Tinku (38), who besides a wife has two schoolgoing children — a son and a daughter — said he would first spend the money on his kids’ education and then think about expanding his contract business. Punjab State Lotteries Department officials said the prize money would be credited to the winner’s account soon.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
