On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Nagaland State Lottery Sambad issued live updates for the DEAR SHINE Morning, DEAR PRESTIGE Day and DEAR DESTINY Evening draws — series formerly known as DEAR GODAVARI Morning, DEAR COMET Day and DEAR GOOSE Evening. Each ticket is priced at ₹6 and the draws are conducted under government-approved supervision at P. R. Hill Junction, Kohima, 797001. The updates cover the complete winners list, prize details and verification information for today’s draws.
Nagaland Lottery Sambad runs three daily draws: the Morning draw at 1:00 PM, the Day draw at 6:00 PM and the Evening draw at 8:00 PM. Results are typically published shortly after each draw, usually around 1:10 PM, 6:10 PM and 8:10 PM IST, and are posted on official channels and widely followed platforms for quick verification.
Operated by the Government of Nagaland, the Sambad lottery is presented as a transparent, regularly conducted public lottery. The system’s procedures and official supervision are highlighted as core strengths that have helped it build public trust and credibility over time.
Introduced to generate state revenue and provide an organized, legal lottery alternative, the Nagaland State Lottery expanded gradually under strict oversight. The phrase “Lottery Sambad” gained currency as results began appearing consistently in newspapers, on websites and through other official publications, making the draws accessible to a nationwide audience.
Popular series such as Dear Morning, Dear Day, Dear Evening, Dear Night, Dear Shine, Dear Prestige and Dear Destiny attract high participation; their frequent scheduling helps maintain continuous engagement among buyers. The source notes that some series form part of the state’s seven official weekly schemes and that specific series are scheduled on particular days.
Beyond revenue generation, the lottery supports development and welfare activities while providing livelihoods for thousands of agents and sellers across India. For many participants, Sambad represents a modest, regulated chance to improve their finances, though outcomes are inherently uncertain.
