Maharashtra Considers Lottery Revamp to Boost State Revenue

The government in Maharashtra is thinking about changing how the lottery works to make more money.

The plan is to let people buy lottery tickets, and if they don't win, the government will keep their money.

After either three or five years, the government will give the money back with extra money added on top, like interest.

A committee led by a former finance minister is in charge of this plan.

The goal is to earn more money and remove the idea that lotteries are just gambling.
