The Bihu Bumper
Bodoland's headline annual draw is the Bihu Bumper, tied to the Assamese new year (Rongali Bihu, mid-April). Like other state Bumpers, it carries a ticket-price premium and a much larger top prize than the daily draws. The New Year Bumper in December is the secondary annual draw. Specific prize amounts for the current 2026 editions are published by the BTC Secretariat per-Bumper.

Bodoland's annual Bumper draw tied to the Assamese new year (Rongali Bihu, mid-April). Higher ticket price than daily draws, much larger top prize. The New Year Bumper in December is the secondary annual draw.
