All commuters who book tickets during this 60-day period, which includes festivals, extended holidays, and weekends, are eligible to participate. The winners will be announced after Pongal in January next year. Bookings can be made on the official portal https://www.tnstc.in/OTRSOnline/ or the TNSTC mobile application.
The monthly prize scheme has been operational since last June. Each month, 13 winners are selected and top 3 of them receive Rs 10,000 each, while the remaining winners are awarded Rs 2,000 each. The lucky draw scheme, starting on November 21, will not impact the ongoing cash rewards scheme for e-ticket holders.
