Why is the Monsoon Bumper second prize only ₹10 lakh?

The Monsoon Bumper puts ₹10 crore of its ₹30.85 crore prize money into one first prize. That leaves less for the tiers below. Its ₹10 lakh second prize is one hundredth of the first prize. A weekly Kerala lottery pays ₹25 lakh or ₹30 lakh as its second prize.

The second prize was ₹10 lakh in BR-98, BR-104 and BR-110 alike. One change came lower down. The ₹1,000 prize had 144 endings drawn in BR-104 and 90 in BR-110.

What does “up to” mean for the four-digit prizes?

The phrase “up to” marks the maximum number of winning tickets. 45 lakh tickets over 10,000 endings means 450 tickets share each ending. The 5th prize drew 30 endings, so up to 13,500 tickets win ₹5,000. The 8th prize of ₹250 returns the ticket price.
