President Pranab Mukherjee picked up the lucky winners from the 100th draw of lots under the digital payments promotion schemes at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here. He congratulated the six winners — three consumers and three merchants — of Lucky Grahak Yojana and Digi Dhan Vyapar Yojana.
In the consumer section, the first mega prize of ₹1 crore went to a customer of Central Bank of India, while the second prize of ₹50 lakh went to a Bank of Baroda customer. A customer of Punjab National Bank is the winner of third prize of ₹25 lakh. All the three customers had done transactions using their RuPay debit cards.

Three merchants also won prizes of ₹50 lakh, ₹25 lakh and ₹12 lakh, respectively. The winners will be felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 14 in Nagpur on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti.
