Lottery agents, from wholesalers to street vendors, were initially horrified when the Rs 500 ticket with a first prize of Rs 25 crore hit the market. They were worried that people would buy tickets for such a large amount. But within days of the sale, the concern subsided. Tickets sold out so fast. Things have come to an exceptional shortage of tickets. As ticket sales increased, a situation arose where retail agents could not get tickets. The lottery department was to address the shortage by providing more tickets in the later stages. Daily lottery sales of Rs. 40 also increased. 1.08 lakh tickets are printed every day. And everything runs out.
