A six-year-old child from Burhanpur, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, has won a Toyota Fortuner—valued at approximately 6.5 million rupees—through a lottery ticket that cost only 260 rupees. According to a report by the Indian news outlet NDTV on Wednesday (October 28), the child’s grandmother had purchased the ticket during a Garba event.

Family members shared that about a year ago, while attending a Garba event at that location, Medansh’s grandmother, Kiran Raikwar, bought a lottery ticket for 260 rupees.

For the family—who had long dreamed of owning a car—this victory has become a truly memorable event.

The news of this incredible win has also become a topic of discussion on social media. Many have expressed astonishment that a coupon costing only 260 rupees could lead to winning such an expensive vehicle, while many others have sent their congratulations to the child.
