STATE BANK’S PRIZE BOND DRAW
(Abdul Qayyum Rao, Sargodha )
State Bank’s Prize Bond draw is
the largest draw in Pakistan. Once I have a chance to see Draw of Prize Bonds on
a TV Channel,, It was astonishing for viewers that all procedure of national
Draw was an out-dated process. Draw was carried out on out-dated Mechanical
Manual Machines.Just for apparently satisfaction of people, the concerned
department has engaged deaf and dumb children for operation the So-Called
machines.
Draw does not seem a fair draw. There are reservations about these draws. These
draws are not transparent and acceptable to the people because the way of
holding Draws at your various offices are not fair.
It is suggested that:-
Since some of the draw contain heavy amount in 1st and 2nd prizes and even in
third prize for us normal Pakistanis. So it requires special scrutiny / Inquiry
of all draws by some other Reasonable departments other than State bank
officials i.e. FIA / NAB / IB etc. It is also suggested the representative of
above departments must be present at the time of each draw.
First Prize is always only ONE in number and it can be carried out by simply
picking of Confidentially packed envelops of figures (0, 1, 2,3,4,5,,,,,,,, 9)
in Six Boxes of Transparent Glass (One Envelop from one box each) . In this way
a six digital Prize bond number can be achieve honestly.
Similarly 2nd Prize of Prize Bonds can be drawn as the above mentioned process
and this process will not take a long time for draw.
Third Prize being in a large number, may be processed on authentic computerized
machines operated honestly by deaf and dumb Children etc … These Computerized
machines must not be pre–programmed for required numbers.
I hope a special attention will be given on this matter.
