What winners receive

Prize amounts are gross. The paying bank deducts tax at source under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 and credits the net amount in rupees, with a tax certificate. There are no cars or goods.

One prize per account per draw

Once an account is selected, its remaining tokens drop out of that draw. If an account is picked twice, the higher prize stands.
