Dear Lottery Sambad: three daily draws, their names and prizes

Dear Lottery Sambad today: the three results

The board opens on today’s date in Indian time. A card shows a countdown before its draw and fills with the first prize once the published sheet has been read. Every filled card has a link to the full prize sheet and a link to check a ticket for that date.

Numbers usually reach public result lists within minutes of a draw. If a card is still waiting, the sheet has not been published yet. We never fill a card with a guess.

What “Dear lottery” and “Sambad” mean

“Dear” is the name printed on the tickets and on the result sheets of these three draws. You will see it at the start of every draw name, followed by a second word and the weekday. “Sambad” means news in Bengali and in several other Indian languages.

Put together, the phrase is easy to read: the news of the Dear lottery, which is the daily announcement of its winning numbers. People who type “dear lottery sambad today” want the result of the current date, and that is what the board above shows. The front page of Lottery Sambad carries the same three draws for readers who start there.

You may expect a history of the name here. We have not verified when the Dear name was first used or who chose it, so we leave that out. The notices of the lottery department are the right place for such facts.

One more point about us. We report Dear Lottery Sambad as readers, not as organisers. This website is not a lottery department and is not linked to one. We read the published sheets, store them and show them in a form that is easy to read on a phone.

The three Dear draws of the day

Dear Lottery Sambad is really three results, not one, and each draw is separate. A ticket for the 1 PM draw cannot win at 6 PM or 8 PM, even on the same date. The time printed on your ticket decides which sheet you must read.

The 1 PM result page is where the day starts. Many readers call this draw “Dear morning”, because it is the first of the three, even though the clock says afternoon. It has its own sheet and its own list of recent results.

The middle draw is at 6:00 PM. On the result lists we read it is listed under the Sikkim State Lottery, while the other two are listed under the Nagaland State Lottery. You can follow it on the 6 PM evening page.

The day closes with “Dear night”, the draw at 8:00 PM. Its sheet is the last one of the date, so after it the board above is complete. The 8 PM night result has its own page as well.

Dear draw names for every weekday

In Dear Lottery Sambad a draw is known by more than its time. Each of the three times has a different name on each weekday, so a full week has a long list of names. Sellers and players often ask for a ticket by that name.

We do not type these names by hand. The table reads them from the newest sheets in our archive, so it shows what is printed now. For example, the newest 1 PM sheet we hold is from Wednesday, 11 November 2026, and its printed name is Dear Spark Wednesday. The newest 8 PM sheet, from 10 November 2026, is printed as Dear Destiny Tuesday.

Read the table across. Pick the weekday on the left, then the column of your draw time. The name in that box should be the name on your ticket. A dash means we hold no recent sheet for that weekday and time, and we would sooner show a gap than a guess.

Why the name matters when you check

The name is a quick safety check. If the name on your ticket and the name on the sheet are different, you are reading the wrong draw, the wrong date, or both. Stop and look at the date and time again before you compare any digits.

Draw names are not fixed for all time. They have changed over the years, and they can change again. That is why an old ticket may carry a name that is not in the table above. In that case open the page of the exact date in our old results by date and read the name printed on that day’s sheet.

Prize lines on a Dear lottery sheet

A current Dear Lottery Sambad sheet prints six prize lines, from one very large prize at the top to a long list of small ones at the bottom. The amounts below are the ones seen on current sheets. An older stored sheet can differ, and then the stored sheet is right.

Here is what each line means in plain words.

• 1st Prize (₹1 Crore). One ticket in the whole draw. The series and all five digits must be the same as the printed number.
• Consolation Prize (₹1,000). Goes to the tickets that carry the same five digits in every other series.
• 2nd Prize (₹9,000). Ten five-digit numbers are printed. The series does not matter here.
• 3rd Prize (₹450). Ten four-digit endings are printed. Only the last four digits of your ticket are read.
• 4th Prize (₹250). Ten more four-digit endings, read in the same way as the 3rd prize.
• 5th Prize (₹120). A long list of one hundred four-digit endings. This is the line most small wins come from.

A ticket is paid once only, for the highest prize it matches. Tax is deducted at source from winnings above ₹10,000, so the first prize is paid after tax and the smaller lines are below that mark. The prize, tax and claim guide goes through this step by step.

Public listings quote the ticket as listed at ₹6. That is their figure, not our own claim, and we sell nothing. Please do not read the prize table as a reason to buy more tickets. Most tickets in any draw match no line at all.

How a Dear ticket is matched

A Dear ticket carries two things you need: a series and a five-digit number. The series is two digits and a letter. The five digits follow it. The ticket also prints the draw name, the date and the draw time.

1. Read the date, the draw time and the draw name on the ticket, and open the sheet of that exact draw.
2. Compare the series and all five digits with the 1st prize. Both must be the same.
3. If only the five digits are the same and the series is different, you are looking at the consolation prize.
4. Look for your five digits in the 2nd prize line.
5. Take the last four digits of your ticket and look for them in the 3rd, 4th and 5th prize lines.

Doing this by eye on a long sheet is slow, and it is easy to miss a number in the 5th line. Our ticket checker does the same steps for you. You type the number once, pick the date, and it tests the number against all three draws of that date and names the prize line.

If you would like to learn the steps with worked examples, the guide on how to check a result by hand shows each one slowly. It also lists the mistakes people make most often, such as reading the wrong date.

What does not belong to the Dear draws

Many searches mix Dear Lottery Sambad with the results of other lotteries. It helps to know where the line is, because a number from another lottery can never win on a Dear ticket.

• The Kerala State Lottery is a completely separate lottery, run by Kerala’s own department with its own tickets and its own result. We do not list its numbers. Use Kerala’s own published result for those tickets.
• Old “Bhutan lottery” names are still searched from habit. We hold no such results and cannot confirm any current draw under that name, so treat result posts that use it with caution.
• Tips and “lucky numbers” have nothing to do with a draw. Every number has the same chance in every draw, and no past result changes that.
• Tickets sold online or by chat app. As far as public notices say, the state lottery departments do not sell these paper tickets online. We cannot vouch for anyone who says they do, and we advise against it.

There is also the law. Under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, each state decides whether lottery tickets may be sold inside it. Some states allow them and many do not, so check the rule where you live. Buying or selling tickets where they are banned is illegal.

Dear Lottery Sambad in short

Dear Lottery Sambad is the news of three daily draws: 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Each draw has a weekday name, a sheet with six prize lines and one first prize number made of a series and five digits.

Match the date, the time and the name before you match any digit. Trust the printed sheet over any forwarded picture, and remember that the result in the government gazette is the one a claim is paid on. We will keep showing the numbers as they are published, with gaps left as gaps.
