Lottery Sambad Daily editorial desk

Every daily draw distributes prizes across 5 tiers + consolation. The math is the same for all three slots (1 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM). Total payout per draw: approximately ₹1.14 crore.
Each Lottery Sambad daily draw pays out across six categories. Amounts and winner counts are fixed by the Directorate. Below is the complete structure with the match condition for each tier.
| Tier | Prize | Winners | How to match |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | ₹1,00,00,000 | 1 | Full 3-char prefix + 6-digit number must exactly match |
| Cons. | ₹1,000 each | 99 | Last 5 digits match 1st prize, with a different series prefix |
| 2nd | ₹9,000 | 10 | 5-digit number on the official PDF (10 specific numbers listed) |
| 3rd | ₹450 | 10 | 4-digit number on the PDF (10 specific numbers listed) |
| 4th | ₹250 | 10 | 4-digit number on the PDF (10 specific numbers listed) |
| 5th | ₹120 | 10,000 | Last 4 digits match any of the 100 winning endings listed |
Total payout per draw: ₹1,00,00,000 (1st) + ₹99,000 (consolation) + ₹90,000 (2nd) + ₹4,500 (3rd) + ₹2,500 (4th) + ₹12,00,000 (5th) = ₹1,13,96,000 ≈ ₹1.14 crore.
Rewards 99 tickets that share the same last 5 digits as the 1st prize, but with different series prefixes. Worked example: if 89P 67890 wins the ₹1 crore, then 12A 67890, 34B 67890… 96 other prefix-67890 combinations each win ₹1,000. The 89P prefix is excluded (it's the 1st prize). The Directorate prints all 99 consolation series in the official PDF.
The only tier matched on just the last 4 digits. The PDF lists 100 winning endings — every ticket ending in one of those wins ₹120. With 100,000 possible 4-digit endings and 100 winners, roughly 1 in 1,000 tickets win 5th prize. With ~10 million tickets in circulation, that's the 10,000 winners per draw.
Section 194B of the Income Tax Act mandates 31.2% TDS at source only above ₹10,000. The tiers split into two groups for tax purposes:

Bumper draws (Lohri Bumper, Diwali Bumper, etc., from Punjab and Goa state lotteries) use a different structure with a higher 1st prize (₹2.5 cr to ₹10 cr) but follow the same tier logic. The Lottery Sambad weekly bumper structure is also published per-draw in the official PDF; refer to that for the specific draw.
Five (1st through 5th) plus a Consolation tier. 1st pays ₹1 crore to 1 winner; Consolation pays ₹1,000 to 99 winners; 2nd, 3rd, 4th each have 10 winners; 5th has 10,000 winners.
Approximately ₹1.14 crore. Breakdown: ₹1 cr (1st) + ₹99,000 (cons) + ₹90,000 (2nd) + ₹4,500 (3rd) + ₹2,500 (4th) + ₹12 lakh (5th) = ₹1,13,96,000.
Check the last 4 digits of your ticket against the list of 100 winning endings printed on the official PDF. If your ending matches any of them, you win ₹120. The in-page ticket checker on each per-result page does this match for you automatically.
The 1st prize series is excluded. If 1st prize is 89P 67890, then series 89P-with-anything-ending-67890 already won the ₹1 crore. The other 99 series ending in 67890 each get the ₹1,000 consolation.
Same tier logic (1st, consolation, 2nd–5th), but higher 1st prizes — Lohri Bumper ₹10 cr, Diwali Bumper ₹6 cr, Thiruvonam Bumper ₹25 cr. The exact prize ladder is published per-Bumper in the official PDF.
Sikkim's Dear prize structure is identical to Nagaland's Lottery Sambad. Kerala has its own structure that varies by scheme (Karunya has 9 tiers, Sthree Sakthi has 7). Punjab's Dear 50 daily uses a similar 5-tier structure but with a ₹21 lakh top prize, not ₹1 crore. See the states directory for per-state details.
