Nagaraj expressed his immense joy at the ticket he sold won the prize. He mentioned that he sold the ticket about a month ago but does not remember who purchased it.

"I can't describe how I feel. It's the first time this has happened to me, and I'm shaking with excitement. I don't even know if I'm scared or just overwhelmed. I live in a village called Ulsagalli in Mysore district, and I came to Kerala for work. I've been here for 15 years now. This year marks my 10th year working in various lottery shops. I started by working in a hotel, then sold lottery tickets at a bus stand in Sulthan Bathery with a physically challenged person. Five years ago, I opened my own shop on MG Road in Sultan Bathery, named after the three letters in my name, Nagaraj. In July, I sold a ticket that won the first prize of ₹75 lakh. Luck keeps coming my way. It's not just Malayalis; people from Tamil Nadu also buy tickets," Nagaraj shared.

The Thiruvonam bumper lottery draw took place at around 2 PM on October 9. The draw was presided by Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal. This year, a total of 80 lakh tickets were printed for the Onam bumper lottery, of which approximately 71 lakh tickets have been sold. The price of each ticket was Rs 500.
