Answer

You state that your mother has won 15000 Rupees from a lottery company. Generally, lotteries are gambling organizations. However, we do not know the price bond lottery and its workings, hence we cannot comment.

Kindly inform us of how the company operates and what are the rules of the company.

Jazakallah
