And to make sure that the message gets through, Zee is telecasting Playwin's results live on Zee TV, Alpha Bangla, Kalanithi Maran's Sun Network channels - the Tamil language Sun TV and Kannada language Udaya - as well as Malayalam language channel Asianet between 9 and 9:30 pm. 

The third draw fetched Rs 391,638 each for 139 players ("lakhpatis") whose five numbers matched the drawn numbers. The draw, announced during the new Zee show Khelo Number Khelo saw the rolling down of the Rs 50 million jackpot, in the absence of a jackpot winner.

The other winners included 6,173 people who had four matching numbers with Rs 370 each and 97,146 winners with three numbers matching Rs 50 each.
