Satta Matka is a form of illegal lottery or gambling that originated in India in the 1960s. It was initially known as "Matka Gambling" and has evolved into various forms over the years, including popular variants like Kalyan Matka, Milan Day/Night, Rajdhani, and Main Mumbai.
Despite being banned by Indian law, Satta Matka continues to operate underground and online. It’s a number-based game of chance, not skill.
🕹️ How Satta Matka Works
-
Choose Numbers: Players select a set of 3 numbers between 0–9.
-
Number Calculation: The sum of the 3 numbers is calculated, and only the last digit is considered (called the Open or Close result).
-
Betting: Players place bets on combinations like Single, Jodi, Patti, or Panel.
-
Result Declaration: Winning numbers are announced at specific times of the day.
-
Winnings: Based on the bet type and amount, winners get a payout multiplier (e.g., ₹1 can return ₹90 or more).
🧾 Example of How a Matka Result is Drawn
Suppose a player selects:
-
First set: 3, 6, 2 → Sum = 11 → 1 (this is the "open" digit)
-
Second set: 5, 4, 1 → Sum = 10 → 0 (this is the "close" digit)
Final Matka result: 362-10
