Cash vs digital: which has better odds?
Both cash and digital purchases can enter the draw — but the path into IRD's system is different. Digital payments are captured more consistently; cash bills only count if you (or a connected store) register them correctly.

What the entry path looks like
A digital payment (QR, eSewa, Khalti, connected bank apps) is usually logged automatically when the merchant system is linked to IRD. A cash bill typically needs you to self-register on prize.ird.gov.np — and any missed step means that bill never enters the draw.
Why digital often feels "luckier"
It isn't that digital payments magically win more often. It's that more of them successfully become valid entries. Cash bills drop out when people forget to register, mistype details, or keep an informal slip that IRD won't accept.
Practical takeaway
Prefer QR or digital when you can — then keep the receipt. For cash, treat registration as part of the purchase: register the same day while the bill is still in your hand.
