How to Play Lagna Wasana

This is a chance game where players choose 4 numbers and an extra zodiac symbol. During the draw, transparent machines are used to choose the winning numbers.

To play this game, you must visit a recognized and authorized lottery outlet where you get your play slip and ticket. The play slip has panels on which you are to choose the 4 numbers out of 62. Every choice of 4 numbers is interpreted as a single play and the more sets you choose, the higher your chances of winning.

Apart from the numbers, you are to choose a symbol from the 12 zodiac signs. Depending on how lucky you are, matching the 4 numbers and the zodiac sign drawn wins you the jackpot prize.

Quick Pick

Choosing numbers on the play slip can be done through Quick Pick or manual picking. In the Quick Pick, the process is simple because all you do is tell the agent your desire to play via Quick Pick. The agent will then generate for you your 4 numbers and the zodiac sign through the computer terminal and the outlet. You will be given the printed ticket with all the information.

Manual Picking

In manual picking, you choose your numbers per play panel. When marking the numbers, go for your favorites and if you don’t have any, you can pick important days in your life such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduation days, etc. In case you make a mistake while marking in a panel, use the void box at the bottom of the panel to cancel out the entire panel.

The play slip also allows you to enter in advance draws, but you have to mark this clearly including the number of draws you want to participate in. Remember, in the subsequent draws, you will play the same set of numbers.

You can also decide to combine both manual picking and Quick Pick for select plays. This helps you spread the risk and your chances of winning.

Lagna Wasana Ticket

Once you fill out and hand over your play slip, the clerk at the outlet will generate tickets for you upon paying for the number of plays. Each play cost 20 rupees and depending on the number of plays, you can do multiples of this.

The tickets are color-coded. Blue tickets indicate that the draw is on a Tuesday while the red ticket is for Friday draws. The purple color is reserved for Sundays and green is for every Wednesday of the week. Therefore, even if you confuse about the dates, you cannot miss out on the colors.

Every ticket has a unique serial number that identifies it and a barcode that can be scanned for more information. On the ticket, your winning numbers will be printed and before you leave the outlet, confirm that the same numbers you choose appear on the face of the ticket.

The name of the game that is Lagna Wasana will also appear on the ticket for confirmation purposes. Among other things, the ticket will have the amount you paid and the number of plays you entered.

The draw date will also be clearly indicated on the ticket.

The lottery ticket is a bearer document and therefore if you lose it, someone else can pick it up and present it to claim a prize if it wins. To prevent such occurrences, ensure you sign it at the back and keep it safe. Also, avoid folding the ticket as this can deface it and make it difficult for verification if it wins a prize.

Lagna Wasana Draws

The draws for this game are held every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. As mentioned above, every draw is color coded. During the draw which is held at 9.30 p.m., 4 numbers are drawn using transparent electronic drums that eject the balls from a pool of 62.

There is a separate machine for the zodiac signs that mixes and injects a single ball from the 12 balls.

All the balls are clearly marked and the entire process is aired live on Channel-Eye. In addition, there is a team of officials from DLB, an audit firm, and the government. The public is also invited to witness the process to ensure credibility and fairness. All machines are checked beforehand to avoid bias and extra machines are put on standby just in case those in use get spoilt.
