Now, Manoj is smiling his way to bank by becoming a crorepati overnight, winning Rs 1.5 crore jackpot in Punjab State Rakhi Bumper, 2018, announced by the Punjab State Lotteries on August 29. One of the first two prizes, Rs 1.5 crore each, has gone to Manoj. The jackpot has come as a big relief to him and his family, as the marriage of his eldest 20-year-old daughter, Rimpy, will be solemnised in a few days.

While Manoj Kumar and his wife, Raj, were away to a nearby church for the evening prayer, his 65-year-old mother Krishna said: “My son ekes out a living by working as farm labourer and other odd jobs. The Almighty has listened to his prayers.”
