What you see here is the quickest way

to get rich in Shillong.

These counters are from "thoh teem" shops where a lowly five rupees can reap dividends of up to twenty thousand.

There is, however, a catch.

You must correctly bet on two numbers ~ anything ranging from one to 100.

Wait, it gets more bizarre. These numbers are decided by an archery competition held in Polo Ground, by the number of arrows that hit a particular spot on the target.

Some people calculate the winning numbers through dreams, where certain images (for example, fish) stand for certain numbers (five).

Who says merely dreaming will get you nowhere?
