❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called Lottery Sambad?
"Sambad" (সংবাদ) means "news" in Bengali and Odia. The name stuck because result posters were first circulated through West Bengal newspapers in the early 2000s, where it was listed alongside the day's news. Today "Lottery Sambad" (লটারি সংবাদ) is the informal, widely-searched name for what the Nagaland government officially runs as Dear Lottery — same draws, same prizes, same venue.
What time is the Lottery Sambad result today?
Three draws every day: 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM IST — in Hindi commonly searched as "lottery sambad result aaj" or "1 baje ka result". Results usually appear online 10-15 minutes after each draw, so roughly 1:15 PM, 6:15 PM, and 8:15 PM. All three run Monday through Sunday without a break.
How do I check the Lottery Sambad result?
Open dear1crore.com/lottery-sambad/result/today. The page refreshes when a new result is posted, and you can view the poster inline or download the PDF. For "kal ka result" or "purana result", /result/yesterday covers yesterday's draws and /result/archive goes back through every past date. If you want to track a draw live, the /lottery-sambad/live page shows a countdown and updates within seconds of publication.
What is the 1st prize in Lottery Sambad?
₹1 crore for the 1st prize winner. There's also a ₹1,000 consolation prize paid to every other ticket in the same series as the winner — so if your ticket series matches but your number doesn't win 1st prize, you still get ₹1,000.
How do I claim a Lottery Sambad prize?
Prizes up to ₹10,000 can be claimed from any licensed lottery agent in the state where you bought the ticket. For prizes above ₹10,000, you submit the original ticket to the Directorate of Nagaland State Lotteries in Kohima within 30 days of the draw date. You'll need valid photo ID along with the ticket.
Is Lottery Sambad legal?
Yes. It's authorised under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, and operated by the Government of Nagaland. Tickets are sold through licensed agents in Nagaland, West Bengal, Sikkim, Punjab, and a handful of other states that permit paper lotteries. Most states — Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and others — have their own lottery rules and Lottery Sambad isn't sold there.
Why does the draw name change every day?
Nagaland State Lotteries uses a different scheme name for each of the 21 weekly slots (3 draws × 7 days). Monday 1 PM might be "Dear Godavari", Tuesday 1 PM might be "Dear Indus", and so on. This is a licensing requirement — each scheme is technically its own registered lottery. The prize structure and ticket price (₹6) stay identical across all schemes.
Is Lottery Sambad the same as Dear Lottery?
Yes — Lottery Sambad and Dear Lottery are the same draw conducted by Nagaland State Lotteries; the two names are used interchangeably. The 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 8:00 PM results are identical on both portals. "Lottery Sambad" is the popular regional name while "Dear Lottery" is the official scheme branding.
What is the TDS on Lottery Sambad winnings?
Under Section 194B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, any single lottery prize above ₹10,000 attracts 30% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) plus applicable cess. Prizes up to ₹10,000 can be claimed from any lottery agent without TDS deduction.
How many days do I have to claim a Lottery Sambad prize?
Lottery Sambad prizes must be claimed within 30 days of the draw date. After 30 days, unclaimed prizes are forfeited to the Directorate of Nagaland State Lotteries. Claimants need the original ticket and valid photo ID.
What is the 2nd prize in Lottery Sambad?
The 2nd prize in Lottery Sambad is ₹9,000 per winning series. Subsequent tiers are: 3rd prize ₹500, 4th prize ₹250, 5th prize ₹120, and a consolation prize of ₹1,000 for the same series as the 1st prize.
Can I check Lottery Sambad result by ticket number?
Yes — compare your ticket's series letter and number against the published result on this page. Enter the ticket number in the result PDF's find function (Ctrl+F) to quickly scan all 1st–5th prize lists and the consolation list.
What happens if my Lottery Sambad ticket is torn or damaged?
Minor damage (torn edges, water marks) is usually accepted if the ticket number and series are still legible. Badly damaged tickets with unreadable numbers may be rejected by the directorate. Always keep winning tickets in a sealed pouch until you claim.
Can I buy Lottery Sambad tickets online?
No — Lottery Sambad tickets are only sold offline through licensed agents and sub-stockists in authorised states (primarily Nagaland, West Bengal, and nearby states). Any website claiming to sell Lottery Sambad tickets online is operating illegally.
In which states is Lottery Sambad legal to play?
Lottery Sambad is legally sold in 13 states where state-authorised lotteries are permitted: Nagaland, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab, Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Mizoram. Many states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh have banned lotteries.
