If you have visited state where purchase of lottery is legal you can inspite of being resident of Telangana purchase lottery tickets
2) you have to produce the proof that you bought the ticket from that state This is required if you belong to any banned state. After presenting the proof of your presence in that state on the day the ticket was bought with the Lottery Office and other relevant documents, including your identity proof, you will get the prize money.
Dear Sir,
The answer is yes. It is legal in almost every state. Even though only 12 states does not promote or has banned sale of lotteries. But, still, you can buy paper lottery tickets from other states by post and claim prize by producing documents/proof. Online lottery is also banned in many states, even in states that promote paper lotteries. An example is the Kerala State - which operates the Kerala state lottery but has banned online lotteries. Still, you can play online lotteries from within the state through the websites of operators.
Online playing lottery is legal in India but the condition is that the licence should be of foreign land so you can proceed to play lottery with the above condition...
Hello
Yes you can participate in the same. Also take note of the following :
In a recent order dated 29th May 2014 in Saroj Subash Nagori v. Director of State Lotteries & Others [Writ Petition (Civil) No. 13331 of 2014], the Kerala High Court single bench headed by Justice AM Shaffique directed payment of winning amount to Saroj Subash Nagori (petitioner), a winner of lottery draw based in Mumbai overruling the respondents contentions that winning amount cannot be granted to residents outside Kerala.
Regards
Whenever a claim arise from banned state, there is such requirement. But you will get the won prizes in case of proof. Buying tickets from sellers who send tickets by post will also help to ease that process.
There are no specific laws that define the code of conduct with regards to online lotteries in India. States in India have the power to make their own betting and gambling laws over and above the Public Gambling Act 1867 which is currently followed by online gambling sites too. This means the states govern whether the lottery is legal or not. So, some states can decide to make it legal while in other states lottery can be illegal. In Punjab and Maharashtra, online lottery schemes are quite popular and sold at attractive rates, whereas in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka, lotteries are completely banned. This has led to sort of confusion, and one needs to carefully know the laws of the particular state to know whether online lotteries are legal or not.
For players, online lottery is completely legal in India on Indian lottery websites and international websites. you can play online lotteries from within the state through the websites of operators.
Dear sir
Yes you can participate in the lottery outside telangana where the lottery is legal.
You can also play international lotteries online.
But my suggestion is don't participate in online lotteries as they are a tool of fooling people in to online frauds. And you won't be able to track them in case there will be fraud with you.
