Amid the CoronaVirus Pandemic, in times of despair, a ray of hope strikes into a humble home at Thane district's Diva area in Maharashtra. Rajkant Patil, a trader and small business owner wins a lottery sanctioned by the Punjab Government with a whopping cash prize of 5 crore INR. Every individual has a dream for which they constantly strive and work hard but yet feel that they don't achieve what they truly deserve. Especially since the past year, with negative news everywhere, the fear of ones own wellbeing and for some even the insecurity of being able to make ends meet has been almost traumatic.

Rajkant Patil, who lives in Diva, Thane near Mumbai, Maharashtra with his wife, his mother and two children was thrilled when he received the good news. "I had contracted the virus and was actually admitted at a hospital for treatment. After recovering, when I returned home, I received a message from Dear Lotteries asking me to get in touch with them. For some reason, I was nervous and confused because I had been sick this whole time and I had no idea about what to expect. But when I called, they said ‘Hi Mr. Patil. You are on conference with 25 people from the lottery team and we want to congratulate you for winning 5 crores'. Wow, those words still ring in my head and give me goosebumps." Said an ecstatic Mr. Patil on winning the Dear Lotteries Baisakhi Bumper 2021. He said that he will invest his winning amount further into his business, which was suffering tremendously for almost a year due to the pandemic, he wishes expand it and do better for himself and his family.
