This guide explains the verified schedule, what the official result page shows, how to match a ticket and the 90-day claim rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current official schedule confirms the draw day and scheme details, but it does not print a fixed clock time. Use the Maharashtra State Lottery result search on the relevant draw date for the official result and any time notice; do not treat a forwarded image or an old listing as final proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this draw is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mah. Aakarshak Pushkaraj is one of the weekly schemes in the Directorate of Maharashtra State Lotteries schedule. The official 2026 schedule lists it as the Thursday scheme, alongside other Thursday draws. The spelling may appear as \u201cAakarshak Pushkaraj\u201d in the government schedule and \u201cAkarshak Pushkaraj\u201d in search queries; both refer to the same scheme name used on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The July 2026 official schedule lists these details for the scheme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table ap-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Detail<\/th><th>Official schedule entry<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Scheme<\/td><td>Mah. Aakarshak Pushkaraj<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw day<\/td><td>Thursday<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ticket price<\/td><td>\u20b950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Series<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tickets in each series<\/td><td>7,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>First prize<\/td><td>\u20b97 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Second prize<\/td><td>\u20b97,000 for 10 prizes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total prizes<\/td><td>3,830<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total prize amount listed<\/td><td>\u20b914,97,500<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are schedule details, not a prediction or a promise that any ticket will win. Lottery results are determined by the draw. For the source table, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/lottery.maharashtra.gov.in\/images\/Schedule-E-July-2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official Maharashtra weekly, monthly and bumper schedule PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maharashtra Akarshak Pushkaraj draw day and time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verified weekly day is Thursday. The current official scheme table identifies the day but does not state a clock time for Aakarshak Pushkaraj. That means a static \u201c4 PM\u201d or \u201c4:15 PM\u201d claim should not be treated as an official time unless the Directorate publishes it for that draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a particular Thursday, check the official result search after the draw window begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Open the <a href=\"https:\/\/lottery.maharashtra.gov.in\/lotterysearch.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maharashtra State Lottery result search<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Select the date, month and year for the draw.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Look for the entry whose name contains Aakarshak Pushkaraj or its Marathi equivalent.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Open the result document and check the draw date and scheme name before reading the numbers.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result search is the safer place to confirm whether a draw has been published, especially when a holiday, administrative change or a revised schedule affects the usual routine. The state schedule explains that weekly draws run on weekdays except for specified national holidays, so check the latest notice when a Thursday falls near a holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Keep the ticket and draw date ready<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this matters: the ticket is the reference you must match, and the claim period runs from the draw date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before checking a result, keep the original ticket in a dry, safe place. Note the draw date printed on it, along with the scheme name, series and ticket number. Do not write over the printed number, cut the ticket or share a full, clear image publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>the original Aakarshak Pushkaraj ticket;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>the draw date or ticket issue details;<\/li>\n\n\n<li>a phone or computer that can open the official result PDF; and<\/li>\n\n\n<li>a way to save the result page or PDF for your own record.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success looks like this: you can identify the correct Thursday draw without relying on a WhatsApp message, social post or an image with no date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Open the official result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this matters: result pages can use similar scheme names, so the date and scheme must agree before you compare a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the official result search and choose the date of the Aakarshak Pushkaraj draw. Open the file shown for that draw. Check the heading first. It should identify Maharashtra State Lottery or the relevant state lottery result, the scheme, and the draw date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the search page shows several files, do not open the first file automatically. Read each file name and select the one matching the Thursday draw and the Aakarshak Pushkaraj scheme. If a result is not visible yet, check again later through the same official page rather than using an unverified \u201clive result\u201d image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For general guidance on result layouts, see <a href=\"https:\/\/lotterysambadapp.com\/blog\/lottery-sambad-result-sheet-explained\/\">How to Read a Lottery Sambad Result Sheet<\/a>. That article explains why the draw date, series and ticket number all matter when reading a result sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success looks like this: you have the dated result document from the government lottery website and the scheme name matches your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Read the result sheet carefully<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this matters: a ticket number without the correct series or draw date is not enough to establish a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the result in this order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Scheme name and date:<\/strong> confirm that the document is for Aakarshak Pushkaraj and the correct Thursday.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Prize category:<\/strong> identify whether the entry is for the first prize, second prize or another listed category.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Series:<\/strong> compare the series printed on your ticket with the series shown in the result.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Ticket number:<\/strong> compare every digit from left to right. Do not rely only on the last digit or a partially visible number.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Prize amount:<\/strong> use the category on the official sheet, not an amount copied into a message.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official schedule lists 10 series and 7,000 tickets in each series for this scheme. That helps you understand the structure, but the result document for the specific draw is what you must use to match a ticket. A schedule table is not a result list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success looks like this: the scheme, date, series, full number and prize category all match, or you have confirmed that they do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Save the result and verify before claiming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this matters: an official result is useful evidence, but the lottery office still checks the original ticket and claim documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save the dated PDF or write down its official page address. If you believe your ticket matches, compare it again from the beginning and keep the original ticket unchanged. Do not pay a caller, message sender or website that asks for a \u201cprocessing fee\u201d, OTP, password or advance payment to release a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maharashtra State Lottery website is the government source for lottery results, schemes and regulations. Use the contact details and forms shown on the official site if the result is unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also read <a href=\"https:\/\/lotterysambadapp.com\/blog\/how-to-check-lottery-sambad-result-online\/\">How to Check a Lottery Sambad Result Online<\/a> for a general checklist. Lottery Sambad App is an independent information site, not a state lottery office or draw operator, so its pages should not replace the government result document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success looks like this: you have checked the result against the official source, kept the original ticket, and have not shared sensitive personal or banking details with an unknown contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Claim within 90 days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why this matters: the official Maharashtra claim page gives a time limit, and waiting can put a valid claim at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/lottery.maharashtra.gov.in\/claim.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official Maharashtra State Lottery claim instructions<\/a> say that a prize claim with the original ticket must be made within 90 days of the draw date. The same page currently says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>prizes up to \u20b910,000 can be claimed from the retail agent from whom the ticket was purchased; and<\/li>\n\n\n<li>prizes above \u20b910,000 can be claimed from the Deputy Director, Maharashtra State Lottery, Vashi, Navi Mumbai.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The page also lists a claim form, bond and bank details among the documents for a prize claim. The exact paperwork can depend on the claim and current instructions, so open the official forms before travelling or sending documents. The official page lists these contact numbers: 022-27846720 and 022-27845481.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make a simple deadline note on your phone using the draw date. Keep the original ticket secure, make copies only if the official instructions allow them, and follow the office\u2019s current submission method. Do not send the original ticket to an unverified person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a wider explanation of how claim periods can differ, read <a href=\"https:\/\/lotterysambadapp.com\/blog\/lottery-prize-claim-time-limit-by-state\/\">Lottery Prize Claim Time Limit by State<\/a>. For this draw, use the Maharashtra authority\u2019s 90-day instruction as the controlling source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success looks like this: you have started the official claim process before 90 days have passed and are using the forms and contact information published by Maharashtra State Lottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common mistakes to avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treating a result image as official<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cropped image may remove the date, series or scheme name. Use the official result search and open the dated document yourself. See <a href=\"https:\/\/lotterysambadapp.com\/blog\/fake-lottery-result-image\/\">How to Spot Fake Lottery Result Images<\/a> for warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confusing the scheme with another Thursday draw<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maharashtra\u2019s weekly schedule contains several schemes on the same weekday. Match the full name, not only the word \u201cweekly\u201d or the day \u201cThursday\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assuming the clock time from an old page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official schedule verified for this guide confirms Thursday but does not print a fixed time for Aakarshak Pushkaraj. Check the official notice or result entry for the specific date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking only the last digits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare the full ticket number and its series. A partial match is not a confirmed result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing the claim deadline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official claim page says 90 days from the draw date. Record the date as soon as you check the result and contact the official office if you need clarification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What day is the Maharashtra Akarshak Pushkaraj weekly draw?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official Maharashtra State Lottery schedule lists Mah.

It also gives different claim routes for prizes up to \u20b910,000 and prizes above \u20b910,000, so read the current instructions before submitting a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is this an official Maharashtra lottery website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Lottery Sambad App is an independent information website and is not connected to the Maharashtra government or lottery operator.
