So if you are excited to know what are the different type of prizes and winning combinations in Tambola, then stay tuned with us as we will reveal everything about the Tambola game in detail below.
As you know Tambola is a ticket based game played by kids, teens, adults on different occasions. The winner is selected based on a pattern. Earlier there was only one pattern in which all the numbers on the Tambola ticket told by the host were crossed out, but nowadays many patterns have been added and hence instead of one… many winners are selected.
Type of Prizes
Based on these patterns, the type of Prizes are announced. And guys based on the location or event manager, the type of prizes may also vary. For example:
- Full House player gets the maximum prize or maximum winning points, while other players get a common prize.
- In some events the prize distribution percentage may be different as show below:
- Early Five: 10%
- First Line: 15%
- Second Line: 15%
- Third Line: 15%
- Corners: 20%
- Full House: 25%
So this is not fixed… based on the event manager or how much fund they raised by selling Tambola tickets… the distribution percentage can be up or down.
The host or event manager has to announce about the prizes or winning points to all players prior to the start of gaming. And based on that the Tambola game begins!
Winning Combinations
As the players now aware of rules and prizes, the host has to announce the how many patterns will be played in the whole event. This clearly means that… this game has no single winning combination… there are more than one winning combinations.
So if host says, in this game there will be 6 patterns, then it means there would be 6 winners in the game. Means each player has 6 chances to win and whoever first strike off all numbers on tickets get the top prize or maximum points.
The winning combinations would be:
- First Five: Any player who strikes off any five numbers in any row will be a winner and can claim a prize.
- First, Second, and Third Line: Any players who strikes off all numbers of first line will be a winner and same if any player strikes off all numbers of Second and Third line will be a winner too and claim their respective prizes.
- Corners: In this pattern, if a player cross out all corner numbers then he/she will be a winner.
- Full House: Finally, if a player strikes off all 15 numbers of Tambola ticket then he is selected as the top winner of the game and gets maximum prize.
Note 1: Any player who completes one pattern, still eligible to win other patterns. Means if a players win First Five pattern, then he is also eligible to win other patterns like first line, second line, third line, corners, and Full House. In short, a single player can win all 6 patterns and win 100% prize money!
Note 2: At a time only 1 prize can be claimed, 2 prizes can’t be claimed. Means if host has announced go for early five… and here a player strikes off all number but also completes the first line.. (2 things at 1 time) then the player can only claim the prize of Early five even he/she has completed the first line or any line.
The Winning combinations are not limited to these 6 patterns that we have listed above. There are more winning combinations like:
- Block 1: Breakfast (First 3 Columns)
