50-50 lottery

The 50-50 lottery is a popular fundraising mechanism widely used across India for various social and community causes. This lottery system operates on a simple principle where participants purchase tickets, and exactly half of the total collection is distributed as prizes while the remaining half is utilized for the designated purpose.

In India, 50-50 lotteries are commonly organized by local communities, schools, religious institutions, and non-profit organizations to raise funds for infrastructure development, educational programs, healthcare initiatives, and welfare activities. These lotteries are particularly prevalent during festivals and community events, where they serve as both entertainment and a means of collective contribution.

Many Indian states have specific regulations governing 50-50 lotteries to ensure transparency and proper utilization of funds. The system has gained trust among participants due to its straightforward structure - buyers know that 50% of their contribution goes directly to prizes and the other 50% supports a genuine cause. This transparency has made 50-50 lotteries a sustainable fundraising model in both urban and rural areas of India.
