No unofficial online lottery selling
People searching for the Howly Raas Lottery 2026 may come across Facebook posts, pages, profiles, WhatsApp messages and other social-media advertisements claiming to offer online lottery coupon sales or bookings.
HowlyTown's warning is simple: Do not send money to anyone claiming to sell or book a Howly Raas Mahotsav Lottery coupon online unless you have verified the person's official authority.
Be especially careful on Facebook
Facebook pages and personal profiles can look genuine, professional and convincing. A page may use the name "Howly Raas", lottery-related graphics, photographs, prize information or claims of being an authorised seller.
The appearance of a Facebook page does not by itself establish that the page is authorised to sell lottery coupons.
The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre has separately warned the public about fraudulent online booking operations using fake websites, social-media pages, posts and advertisements to collect money from unsuspecting users. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}
What you should never do
Don't transfer money
Do not send UPI, bank transfer or other payments to an unknown person claiming to sell a lottery coupon.
Don't trust screenshots
Payment screenshots, ticket photographs and social-media posts are not proof that an account is authorised.
Don't share OTPs
Never share your OTP, UPI PIN, bank password or other sensitive financial information with an unknown person.
Why this warning matters
Lottery-related scams can use attractive prize information to create urgency. A person may be told that only a few coupons are left, that an online booking closes soon, or that immediate payment is required.
These tactics can pressure people into transferring money before checking whether the seller is genuine.
Official cybercrime guidance also recommends not responding to suspicious lottery-related messages and not transferring money to unknown persons in anticipation of a lottery prize or other promised benefit. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}
Accounts to be cautious about
The following Facebook accounts have been identified and flagged by HowlyTown for public awareness based on the information supplied for this notice. This listing is a warning to verify independently; it is not an independent judicial finding that the named account or person has committed a crime.
If someone contacts you
If someone contacts you claiming to represent the Howly Raas Mahotsav Lottery, take a moment to verify everything before making a payment.
Ask for the person's official identity and authority.
Do not rely only on Facebook, WhatsApp or social-media claims of being an authorised seller.
Verify information independently before making any payment.
Never share your OTP, UPI PIN, card PIN or banking password.
If you believe you have been defrauded, contact your bank immediately and report the incident to the appropriate cybercrime or police authorities.
Important legal context
There has also been litigation concerning the organisation of lotteries and lucky-coupon draws connected with the Howly Raas Mahotsav. A Gauhati High Court judgment dated 30 July 2025 records proceedings concerning permissions for offline and online lotteries and references an interim direction concerning permissions for private parties. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="2"}
Because the legal and administrative position can change, readers should rely on current information from the competent authorities and authorised organisers rather than assuming that a Facebook page or individual seller is authorised.
Check before you pay.
