The winning is coming thick and fast. A student from the Bhiwandi township of Mumbai's adjoining Thane district hit the jackpot becoming the first to take home the top prize of Rs 20 million. 

Standard 12 student Nilesh Taware, who has just finished his higher secondary exams, says he just bought a ticket on impulse after he went into a shop to get some papers photocopied. He took a fancy to the vending machine and decided to try his luck. He had gone for the "lucky pick" where the Playwin terminal chooses the combination. 

Taware's windfall comes just a week after Zee group-promoted Playwin Infravest is doing handed out a total of Rs 60.15 million to 139 players - each one getting Rs 391,638. The draw, announced initially during the celebrity talk show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, has now shifted to Khelo Number Khelo, a game show hosted by Archana Puran Singh on Thursday evenings.
