As she has no school on Sunday, she went to the stall with her father to help him with his work. Sometime later, a man came to their stall and asked his father to buy a lottery ticket, but his father refused.
However, Harsimran Kaur forced her father to cough up Rs. 100 for the lottery ticket. As a result, today, she has pocketed Rs 10 lakh and the entire family is rejoicing. Kaur said, "I want to use this prize money for proper education and also to help my father," she adds.
