Dear Lottery — what it is, which states & how to check

Dear Lottery is the brand printed on Nagaland State Lottery tickets — the same draws people call "Lottery Sambad". Nagaland holds three Dear draws every day (Dear Morning 1 PM, Dear Evening 6 PM, Dear Night 8 PM), and Sikkim runs its own Dear draw at 6 PM. Each carries a ₹1 crore 1st prize on a ₹6 ticket. This page explains how Dear works and links you to today's live result for every Dear draw — it isn't itself a result page.

Is Dear Lottery the same as Lottery Sambad?

Yes — they are the same thing. "Lottery Sambad" is the widely-used name for the daily Nagaland result; the printed ticket brand is "Dear" (Dear Morning, Dear Evening, Dear Night). So a search for "Dear Lottery result" and "Lottery Sambad result" lands on the identical Nagaland draws at 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM. The brand on the ticket also rotates by day of week — e.g. Dear Vision Saturday, Dear Lucky Saturday Night — but the prize structure (₹1 crore down to ₹120) stays the same.

Dear Lottery draw schedule

All four are drawn daily. Tickets cost ₹6 and carry a 6-digit number with a 2–3 character series. The Nagaland draws happen at P. R. Hill, Kohima; the Sikkim Dear at Gangtok.

How to check a Dear Lottery ticket

1. Identify your draw — read the draw name, time and date printed on the ticket (e.g. "Dear Evening 6:00 PM").
2. Open that draw's result from the table above.
3. Match your number — the full series + 6 digits for the 1st/2nd prizes; the last 4–5 digits for the lower tiers. Use the ticket checker on the result page.
4. Cross-check the official PDF before claiming — the Directorate sheet is the only legal record.
