Playing it safe or ticket lost? Rs 30 crore Thiruvonam bumper winner untraceable

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The lucky winner of the Thiruvonam Onam bumper is yet to emerge from the dark. Sujith, a roadside vendor, sold the winning ticket after buying it from Thampuran Agency in Taliparamba (which originally sourced it from Muthu Agency in Chakkarakkal, Kannur). Details about the lucky winner's identity have not yet been revealed, while people are eager for more information.

Sujith is not sure whom he sold the ticket to. As per recent trends, lottery winners often play it safe and claim their prize without inviting any attention or media glare. In 2022, barely days after Anoop, a Thiruvananthapuram native, won the Rs 25 crore Onam bumper in 2022, relatives and friends formed a bee line in front of his house requesting financial help.

In a recent interview, Anoop had advised the upcoming winners to keep the news as confidential as possible and consult with their family before making decisions. Meanwhile, the Lottery Department provides facilities for winners to claim their prize without disclosing their name or photograph; details can be kept confidential by submitting the ticket through a bank.
