UPDATE:-According to Nepal Japan, Dilli Ram Poudel is from Kaski Nirmalpokhari 8, Maspatan. One of his relative told about this. Dilliram had called home and informed that he has won the lottery. 

"He is the winner, but he hasn't got the money on his hand yet. So he is not willing to come to media at the moment. The winner himself is not willing to say that on record, how could I say more?" a person who claimed that be a relative brother of Dilli Ram told. "If we disclose everything now situation may be embarrassing later if we don't get the money by any chance, so we are choosing not to speak on record now." a relative of Dilliram Said.

He said that he will come to media after getting money. They are probably not willing to come to light because of the risk of insecurity too.
