## Story

### Lottery ticket and accident

In April 2020, Babloo is promoted to the position of Manager at his office, Babloo reads to him a sarcastically profane letter handed to him by Sameer, leading to Charamsukh being severely offended. Unknowing of the fact that Babloo cannot speak English in spite of the letter being in English, he reduces Babloo's salary in exchange for a promotion.

Upset, Babloo reaches a bus stop where he encounters a lottery ticket-seller who successfully sells him a ticket for ₹50. Babloo scratches the ticket and apparently wins it, and shortly after, meets Hola who lifts him up in his car. Babloo calls Janaki to inform her, and then reveals that he has won the lottery. A jealous Hola pushes him onto an oncoming vehicle, later revealed to be Titu's.

He is admitted to the Paradise Hospital, where Dr. Tara is assigned to treat him. He regains his memory shortly after, but decides to keep it a secret from everyone because Janaki had already trumpeted about the lottery prize of ₹11 crore to everyone, while he had not won the ticket to the mentioned prize. Janaki upgrades his hospital room to a suite, and Sameer hires Brazilian carnival dancers to their suite. A queue of people willing to wish "get well soon" to Babloo gathers, but Bhuvan disperses them. A statue of Babloo is erected in the colony.

### Discharge and second lottery

When he accidentally reveals the truth to Bhuvan and later the entire society, his family becomes a social reject. Janaki returns all of the gifts their neighbours had provided them.

Soon, Babloo is fired from his office by Charamsukh with the excuse that "he is too prestigious to work in a small office." He encounters Lottery guy again, and shouts at him for making him even more broke. But he later feeds him a pizza and apologises for shouting, after which the boy gifts the three remaining tickets to him. Babloo scratches the last one and actually wins the lottery this time. He shares the prize with the boy in a 10%-90% promise. Both of them celebrate.

One month later, out of everyone's view, he walks into his BMW and narrates the story to Janaki. With Babloo's donations, benches are installed at the park and recreational activities are added for children.

## Trivia

* Babloo's statue previously held a carved plaque of the lottery ticket that he had won. It was later replaced with a sign that "दानवीर बनो, लेते तो सब हैं।" (*Dānvīr bano, lete to sab haĩ.* / "Be kind, because everyone knows how to take.")
