Satta Matka is a popular form of gambling that originated in India during the 1960s. It began with betting on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange. Over time, it evolved into a numbers-based game where participants select numbers and place bets. The winning number is drawn randomly, and winners receive significant cash prizes. Despite being illegal in many parts of India, Satta Matka continues to thrive through underground networks and online platforms. Its allure lies in the potential for high returns, but it also poses risks of financial losses and addiction.
