| Quarter 1 | Oct–Dec 2026 | 15 Jan 2027 | Upcoming |
Future quarters will be added here only when officially confirmed.
How later draw dates are set
The official terms say a draw is ordinarily held on the 15th day of the month after the quarter ends — or the next working day in Karachi if the 15th is not a working day. The steering committee may change a date for good reason and announce it on official websites. On that basis the next quarter (January–March 2027) would ordinarily be drawn in mid-April 2027, but we will list it only once it is officially confirmed.
What happens on draw day
- The draw runs on 1LINK’s automated system under audit supervision.
- Results are announced the same day on official websites and through participating banks — without names, account numbers or personal details.
- Selected winners are contacted by their own bank, verified, and then paid.
