Frequently asked questions

What are the prizes?

Are the tickets valid Tambola tickets?

Yes. Each ticket has 3 rows of 5 numbers in 9 columns (1–9, 10–19 … 80–90), and every 6 tickets form a full strip that uses each number from 1 to 90 exactly once.

The host starts an online game and shares the code or QR code. Players join from their phones, get their own tickets, see each number as it is called, and tap to claim. The host’s device checks every claim. Phones connect directly to each other; the game works best with up to about 20 players.

How do I check a printed ticket?

Every ticket has an ID such as K7Q2M-14. Type it under Check a claim, pick the prize, and the ticket appears with the called numbers marked and a verdict.

Can the numbers be called in Hindi or Telugu?

Yes, if your device has a voice for that language. Choose it in the voice list. Traditional calls like “Two fat ladies, 88” are in English.
