Satta Matka is a popular form of lottery and gambling that originated in India in the 1960s. Initially, it involved betting on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange to the Bombay Cotton Exchange. Over time, this evolved into a more structured and number-based betting game. In Satta Matka, players select numbers from a set, and if their chosen numbers match the ones drawn, they win a pre-decided prize. The game combines luck, strategy, and sometimes guesswork, making it both thrilling and risky. Despite being illegal in many parts of India, it remains widespread and continues to attract players looking for quick money. Over the years, Matka has seen many legendary players and bookies, with some gaining cult status in the gambling world. Today, the game is also played online, where digital platforms have given it a new face while retaining its traditional appeal.
