The Nagaland State Lottery holds three daily draws-at 1:00 PM (Dear Morning), 6:00 PM (Dear Day) and 8:00 PM (Dear Evening)—offering tickets at ₹6 each and a maximum prize of ₹1 crore plus an additional Super Prize. Each draw carries a different name and prize distribution depending on the day of the week, and results are normally published online shortly after each draw. This schedule and ticket structure make the Nagaland lottery one of the most active state-run lotteries in India for daily players and retailers.
Draw names vary by weekday: on Monday the draws run as Dear Dwarka (morning), Dear Desert (day) and Dear Finch (evening); Tuesday features Dear Godavari, Dear Wave and Dear Goose; Wednesday uses Dear Indus, Dear Hill and Dear Pelican; Thursday is Dear Mahanadi, Dear Lake and Dear Sandpiper; Friday lists Dear Meghna, Dear Mountain and Dear Seagull; Saturday has Dear Narmada, Dear River and Dear Stork; and Sunday runs Dear Yamuna, Dear Sea and Dear Toucan. These rotating titles identify each specific draw and the associated prize pools for that session.
Ticket production and series information are published in advance: Dear Morning issues approximately 5.80 crore tickets across series 42 to 99 and alphabetic series A, B, C, D, E, G, H, J, K, L with serial numbers from 00000–99999; Dear Day prints about 2.80 crore tickets across series 74 to 99 and the same alphabetic series with serials 00000–99999; and Dear Evening prints roughly 7.00 crore tickets from series 30 to 99 and the same alphabetic series, each ticket carrying a price of ₹6. These figures indicate the scale of distribution and the format players should check on their tickets when verifying results.
Nagaland is among the 13 Indian states where lotteries are legally conducted; others include Assam, Mizoram, Kerala, Meghalaya, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal and Sikkim. The remaining states in India maintain bans on lottery sale and play, so prospective players should confirm local legality before purchasing tickets.
Official Nagaland State Lottery results are available on web platforms such as Lottery Sambad and Dhankesari, and in the Official Government Gazette, with results typically posted soon after each draw. Winners should retain their original, intact tickets and complete the state claim form; claims must include a government-recognized photo ID and passport-sized photographs, and mutilated or tampered tickets will not be accepted. Prizes up to ₹10,000 are usually paid through the authorised distributor, stockist, agent or seller designated by the state government, while larger prizes require processing as per official procedures.
