What is Dear Lottery (Lottery Sambad)?
Dear Lottery — popularly called Lottery Sambad across Bengal, the North-East and Tamil Nadu — is the umbrella name for the daily paper lotteries run by the state governments of Nagaland, Sikkim and West Bengal. Three draws are held every single day of the year: 1 PM (Dear Morning), 6 PM (Dear Day) and 8 PM (Dear Evening / Night).
Each draw has its own weekly scheme name that rotates with the day of the week, and each scheme prints its own ticket series. The top prize on the flagship Nagaland draws is ₹1 crore, which is why the 1 PM and 8 PM results are the most searched lottery queries in India.
Results are declared by the state lottery department and published as an official bulletin. We reproduce the winning numbers as factual data and always link the original bulletin so you can verify before you claim.
How to read your Dear Lottery result
A Dear Lottery ticket carries a series (for example 65G) and a five-digit number (for example 50053). The 1st prize is announced as the series plus the number together — so 65G 50053 wins ₹1 crore, and every other series ending in 50053 wins the consolation prize of ₹1,000.
Below the 1st prize, the sheet lists ten 2nd prize numbers, ten 3rd prize numbers, ten 4th prize numbers and one hundred 5th prize numbers. Those prizes are paid on the number alone, whatever the series, which is why the same five digits can win in thousands of tickets at once.
- 1st Prize — ₹1 crore (series + number)
- Consolation — ₹1,000 (same number, all other series)
- 2nd Prize — ₹9,000 (ten numbers)
- 3rd Prize — ₹500 (ten numbers)
- 4th Prize — ₹250 (ten numbers)
- 5th Prize — ₹120 (one hundred numbers)
Draw timings and how quickly we update
The three daily draws are held at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time. The department publishes the bulletin within a few minutes of each draw, and this page is refreshed as soon as the numbers are available.
If you land here before the draw time and see "result awaited", the draw has genuinely not happened yet — there is no way to know a winning number in advance, and any site claiming otherwise is lying to you.
How to verify before you claim
Never trust a single screenshot. Cross-check the winning number on this page against the official bulletin linked on every result card, then match your physical ticket digit by digit.
Claims above ₹10,000 must be submitted to the concerned state lottery office with the original ticket, identity proof and a claim form. Smaller prizes can normally be collected from any authorised retailer in the state.
