In India, the lottery system has become an integral part of local culture and economy. After the lottery draw, which typically occurs in the evening referred to as \“aaj ki raat\“, various local products see a surge in demand.
Traditional Indian sweets like ladoo and barfi are commonly purchased by winners to celebrate their good fortune. These sweets are made from local ingredients such as gram flour, milk, and sugar, and are often shared with family and neighbors.
Another popular product is the brass diya （oil lamp）, which is lit as a form of thanksgiving in many Indian households. These diyas are crafted by local artisans using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Many lottery winners also invest in local handicrafts like handwoven silk sarees from Varanasi or wooden carvings from Saharanpur, supporting regional artisans and preserving cultural heritage. |
