What is the Sikkim State Lottery?
The Sikkim State Lottery is the daily state-government lottery operated by the Directorate of State Lotteries, Government of Sikkim, headquartered at Deorali 737102, Gangtok. It runs under the Sikkim State Lottery (Regulation) Rules, 2023 and the central Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998.
Two daily draws happen every day of the week — Labh Laxmi at 4:00 PM (smaller daily, ₹10,000 1st prize) and Dear Lottery at 6:00 PM (₹1 crore 1st prize). Each ticket costs ₹6 MRP and carries a 6-digit number with a 3-character series prefix, identical in format to the Nagaland Lottery Sambad ticket layout.
The Dear 6 PM draw rotates brand names through the week — Dear Legend Monday, Dear Prestige Tuesday, Dear Regal Wednesday, Dear Supreme Thursday, and so on. The full Mon-Sun table is published below.
Sikkim vs Nagaland Lottery Sambad — the differences
Visitors often confuse these two — both run "Dear" branded draws, both use the same ticket format, and both pay ₹1 crore 1st prizes. Here's the clean side-by-side:
| Dimension | Nagaland Lottery Sambad | Sikkim State Lottery |
| Daily draws | 3 (1 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM) | 2 (4 PM Labh Laxmi, 6 PM Dear) |
| Operator | Directorate of State Lotteries, Nagaland (Kohima) | Directorate of State Lotteries, Sikkim (Gangtok) |
| 1st prize (Dear) | ₹1 crore | ₹1 crore |
| 4 PM equivalent? | No | Yes — Labh Laxmi, ₹10,000 1st prize |
| Ticket price | ₹6 | ₹6 |
| Claim deadline | 30 days | 30 days |
| Claim address | Kohima 797001 | Deorali 737102, Gangtok |
| Claim helpline | 0370-2222900 | 03592-280227 |
| Brand naming | "Dear {Animal} {Day}" (Dear Ostrich, Dear Pearl, Dear Stork) | "Dear {Adjective} {Day}" (Dear Legend, Dear Prestige, Dear Supreme) |
| Official site | nagalandstatelotterysambad.com | sikkimlotteries.com |
Bottom line: the ticket you hold determines which draw you check. A Sikkim ticket cannot win in a Nagaland draw, and vice versa, even if both happen at 6 PM. Match the operator name printed on the ticket against the result you're checking.
Daily brand names — Monday to Sunday
Each day of the week has its own brand name for both the Dear 6 PM and the Labh Laxmi 4 PM draws. The brand printed on your ticket must match the slot you're checking — a "Dear Legend Monday" ticket cannot win in the "Dear Prestige Tuesday" draw.
| Day | 4 PM · Labh Laxmi | 6 PM · Dear Lottery |
| Monday | Labh Laxmi Monday | Dear Legend Monday |
| Tuesday | Labh Laxmi Tuesday | Dear Prestige Tuesday |
| Wednesday | Labh Laxmi Delight Wednesday | Dear Regal Wednesday |
| Thursday | Labh Laxmi Thursday | Dear Supreme Thursday |
| Friday | Labh Laxmi Friday | Dear Friday |
| Saturday | Labh Laxmi Joy Saturday | Dear Saturday |
| Sunday | Labh Laxmi Power Sunday | Dear Sunday |
Sikkim brand names rotate quarterly. The brands shown above are the current set published by the Directorate as of June 2026. We update this table within 24 hours of any Directorate announcement.
Dear 6 PM prize structure
The Dear 6 PM draw distributes prizes across 5 tiers plus consolation, identical in structure to the Nagaland Lottery Sambad. Total payout per draw is approximately ₹1.14 crore.
| Tier | Prize | Winners | How to match |
| 1st | ₹1,00,00,000 | 1 | Full 3-char series + 6-digit number |
| Consolation | ₹1,000 | 99 | Last 5 digits match 1st, different series |
| 2nd | ₹9,000 | 10 | 5-digit number on the PDF |
| 3rd | ₹450 | 10 | 4-digit number on the PDF |
| 4th | ₹250 | 10 | 4-digit number on the PDF |
| 5th | ₹120 | 10,000 | Last 4 digits match any of 100 listed |
Note on competitor errors: Some third-party sites publish an incorrect Sikkim Dear prize structure (₹99 lakh 1st prize, 7,000 second prizes, 7 lakh fifth prizes). The figures above are confirmed against the most recent official Directorate PDFs at
sikkimlotteries.com. Always cross-verify against the official PDF before celebrating.
Labh Laxmi 4 PM prize structure
Labh Laxmi is Sikkim's smaller daily draw — a much lower 1st prize (₹10,000) but better odds, and a popular evening-purchase ticket among rural buyers across northern India.
| Tier | Prize | Match |
| 1st | ₹10,000 | Full ticket number |
| 2nd | ₹500 | 5-digit number on the PDF |
| 3rd | ₹100 | 4-digit number on the PDF |
| 4th | ₹50 | Last 4 digits match listed |
Exact tier amounts vary by daily Labh Laxmi sub-scheme. Cross-check against the official PDF for that specific draw.
How to claim a Sikkim lottery prize
- Sign the back of the ticket immediately. The ticket is a bearer instrument — whoever holds the signed ticket is the legal claimant.
- Photograph both sides for backup. Save to two locations.
- Gather claim documents — attested PAN, attested Aadhaar, address proof (utility bill / voter ID / driving licence), and a cancelled cheque from your bank.
- Submit by registered post or in person to the Directorate of State Lotteries, Deorali 737102, Gangtok, Sikkim. For prizes above ₹10 lakh, in-person submission in Gangtok is strongly recommended over post.
- Stay inside the 30-day deadline — counted from the draw date, not the discovery date.
- Receive net winnings by NEFT/RTGS in 2–4 weeks for prizes under ₹10 lakh, 4–6 weeks for larger amounts.
The full 7-step guide with documents checklist, what-can-go-wrong scenarios, and TDS math is at /how-to-claim. The same claim process applies to both Sikkim and Nagaland lotteries — only the submission address and helpline differ.
