What is Lottery Sambad?

Lottery Sambad is the daily result bulletin that players across India use to check state lottery numbers. The name comes from the Bengali word for news, and for most players it simply means one thing: the day's winning numbers.

Every Lottery Sambad result sheet lists the 1st prize number, the consolation prizes, and the 2nd through 5th prize series for that draw. Numbers are declared in the presence of the state's draw officials and published as a signed result chart.

Nagaland State Lottery

The Nagaland State Lottery is run by the Directorate of Nagaland State Lotteries under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998. It is one of the thirteen Indian states where a state-run paper lottery is legal.

Its tickets are sold under the Dear Lottery banner, which is why players search for Dear Lottery result and Nagaland State Lottery result interchangeably. Both point to the same 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM draws.

Lottery Sambad has become the everyday shorthand for the Indian state lottery result bulletin. A player who buys a two-rupee or six-rupee paper ticket in Kohima, Siliguri, Guwahati or Gangtok is looking for the same thing at the end of the day: whether the number printed on their ticket appears on the result chart. That chart is what people mean when they search for Lottery Sambad result today.

The draws follow a fixed rhythm. The first result of the day is declared at 1:00 PM, the second at 6:00 PM and the third at 8:00 PM. Because the timings never move, the habit of checking is easy to build: a quick look at lunch, another in the evening, and the last one after dinner. Our countdown at the top of this page tracks all three in Indian Standard Time so you never open the chart before the numbers are in.

Nagaland State Lottery is the scheme most closely associated with the Sambad result. Run by the Directorate of Nagaland State Lotteries, it operates under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, which allows a state government to organise a paper lottery within its own territory. Tickets under this scheme carry the Dear Lottery name, so the Dear Lottery result and the Nagaland State Lottery result for a given slot are one and the same. Dear Morning, Dear Day and Dear Evening correspond to the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM draws.

A single result sheet is more detailed than most new players expect. The 1st prize lists one full ticket number with its alphabet series. Below it sits the consolation prize, which applies to the same number across the other series. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th prizes are then published as lists of digit endings, meaning a ticket can win on its last four or last two digits even when the full number does not match. This is why reading the whole chart matters rather than only the top line.

Players also track results from neighbouring states that publish on similar schedules, including West Bengal State Lottery, Sikkim State Lottery and Mizoram State Lottery. The format across these schemes is close enough that the same reading habits apply. What differs is the ticket price, the prize structure for the top slots, and the claim office where a winning ticket has to be submitted.

Claiming a prize is a paper process. Keep the original ticket flat and undamaged, sign the back where indicated, and take it with a government photo ID to the authorised claim point named on the result sheet. Small prizes are often paid out by the seller or a district agent. Larger amounts go through the state directorate, are subject to tax deduction at source, and are usually paid by bank transfer. Tickets are typically valid for thirty days from the draw date, so acting quickly is worth it.

One caution worth repeating: the lottery is a game of chance, not a strategy. There is no number pattern, lucky series or prediction chart that improves the odds of a random draw. Treat a ticket as entertainment with a fixed cost you are comfortable losing. Never borrow money to buy tickets, and never buy from anyone promising a guaranteed win — the state directorate does not sell that way, and neither does any legitimate agent.

The phrase "Sambad result today" carries a lot of intent in a few words. It means the chart for the current date, not yesterday's sheet and not a cached copy. This matters because result pages are copied widely across the web, and an old chart looks identical to a new one at a glance. Two habits protect you: check that the date printed on the chart matches today, and check that the draw time on the chart matches the time printed on your ticket. Everything else on the sheet only makes sense once those two lines agree.

Ticket prices are deliberately low. A standard Dear Lottery ticket sells for a small fixed amount, which is why the scheme reaches so many casual players across the north-east and eastern states. The prize ladder is steep: one 1st prize per draw, a consolation prize spread across the other series, and then progressively larger pools of smaller wins for the 2nd through 5th prizes. In practice most winning tickets are small-prize tickets matched on their final digits, which is exactly the part of the chart people skip.

Most players now check on a phone, standing at the shop where they bought the ticket. That changes what a good result page needs to do. It has to load on a weak connection, show the draw time clearly, and put the number chart within a tap or two — no slideshows, no forced redirects, no chart hidden behind five clicks. That is the standard we hold this page to: the schedule and the countdown here, the full chart one button away.

Players tracking multiple schemes should keep the timings straight. The 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM slots are the Nagaland pattern, and the Dear Lottery series names attach to them. Other state schemes publish at their own hours with their own series names, and mixing the two is the most common reason someone believes their number won when it did not. One ticket belongs to one scheme, one date and one time slot. Compare it only against that sheet.

A word on where the numbers come from. Official results are declared by the state directorate and published as a signed result sheet. Any site, including this one, is a mirror of that sheet. If an amount is large enough to matter to you, verify the number against the directorate's own published gazette before making plans, and never pay a fee to anyone who claims they can release or fast-track a prize. Legitimate claims never require an advance payment.

Play within limits. Set the amount you spend on tickets before you buy, treat it as spent the moment you buy, and stop there. If lottery spending has stopped feeling like entertainment, or if you are chasing losses, step away and talk to someone. Nobody wins their way out of a losing streak in a game decided by a random draw.
