Congratulations! 🎉 If you are reading this, chances are you or someone you know has won a prize in the Bodoland State Lottery. Winning is exciting, but knowing how to claim your prize money safely is even more important.

Whether you won a small amount like ₹200 or the bumper ₹1,00,000, there is a specific process you must follow. In this guide, we will explain the required documents, claim forms, and the official address to submit your ticket.

💰 Where to Claim Your Prize?

The claiming process depends on the amount you have won. The Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) has categorized claims into two types:

1. Prize Amount up to ₹10,000

If your winning amount is less than or equal to ₹10,000, you don’t need to visit the head office. You can claim this amount instantly from:

• Any authorized Lottery Retailer/Agent.
• The shop where you purchased the ticket.

2. Prize Amount above ₹10,000

For amounts exceeding ₹10,000 (like the 1st or 2nd Prize), you must submit your claim to the Director of Bodoland State Lotteries. This process requires document verification.
