The gazette result is the final one

Prizes are paid on the result printed in the government gazette, not on what a website shows. That includes this website. If a number on our pages differs from the gazette, the gazette is right and we are wrong.

So treat our pages as a fast first look. Before you travel to an office, fill in a claim form or tell your family you have won, compare your ticket with the printed result yourself.

Where our numbers come from

An automated reader copies each sheet from public result lists and stores it when the date and the draw time printed on it match the draw. This check stops most mix-ups, but not all. A public list can carry a mistake, and a reader can misread a digit.

Sheets also arrive at different speeds. Numbers usually appear within minutes of a draw, but a list can be late, and on some days a list does not carry a draw at all. Those draws stay marked as missing. A missing sheet does not mean the draw was cancelled, and a late sheet does not mean anything about the result.

The checker and the live board are aids

The ticket checker compares the number you type with the sheets we have stored. If our stored sheet has an error, or if you mistype one digit, the answer will be wrong. A “win” on the checker is a reason to look at the printed result. It is not proof of a prize, and “no prize” is not proof either.

The live board is a countdown and a card that fills when a published sheet has been read. It is not a video or a broadcast of the draw. Number history and monthly charts are records of past draws. They do not predict anything, and we do not offer tips or “lucky numbers”.

Guides are general information

Our pages about prizes, tax and claims explain how things usually work, based on public listings. They are not legal, tax or financial advice. Time limits, documents and payment routes are decided by the rules printed on the back of the ticket and by the lottery department’s notice. For your own tax position, speak to a qualified person.

Prize amounts in our tables describe current sheets. Older sheets in the archive can print different lines or amounts, and each old sheet is shown as it was published.

The law where you live

Under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, each Indian state decides whether lotteries may be sold there. Some states allow them and many do not. Buying or selling tickets where they are banned is illegal. Finding out the rule in your state is your responsibility, and reading a result here does not make a ticket legal.

This site is written for people aged 18 or over. Nothing on it asks you to buy a ticket.

We never ask for money

We sell no tickets, accept no payments and have no agents. We do not contact anyone about a prize. A message that uses our name and asks for a fee, a “tax” or your bank details is a fraud by someone else. The guide to lottery scams shows how these messages work and where to report them.

Links, names and loss

The names “Dear”, “Nagaland State Lottery” and “Sikkim State Lottery” belong to their owners. We use them only to say which draw a sheet belongs to. A few pages link to government help services. We do not control those sites.

We work to keep every sheet correct, and we fix confirmed errors quickly. Still, we cannot accept responsibility for a loss that follows from relying on this site alone, such as a missed claim date, a discarded ticket or a journey made on a wrong number. The printed result is there to prevent exactly that.

If you spot an error, please report it through the contact page. The terms of use set out the rules for using the site, and you can return to all three draws today at any time.
