Two draws a day, a ₹1 crore top prize
The Directorate of Meghalaya State Lotteries in Shillong runs two draws every day — one around 1:00 PM and one at 8:00 PM. The draws are DEAR-branded (the poster reads "Dear Shillong", with a different name for each weekday), and the headline first prize is ₹1 crore. Results are published as an official scanned poster, which we mirror here so you can match your ticket against the Directorate's own sheet rather than a re-typed copy.
Meghalaya vs Lottery Sambad — not the same
"Lottery Sambad" is Nagaland's brand. The Meghalaya State Lottery is a separate, independent lottery run by the Government of Meghalaya from Shillong, with its own DEAR-branded draws, its own draw times, and its own result posters. If you hold a Meghalaya ticket, always check it against the Meghalaya poster on this page — not a Nagaland sheet. (Note: Khanapara Teer is a separate archery-based betting game, not the Meghalaya State Lottery.)
