Rajya Lottery Sambad: what “rajya lottery” means and whose draw it is

Rajya Lottery Sambad today: three state draws

The board shows the three draws we follow, for today’s date in Indian time. A card waits with a countdown and then fills with the first prize when the sheet is published. Where the list carried the state name, the card prints it under the draw name.

The draws are at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Numbers usually reach public lists within minutes. An empty card means the sheet is not out yet, and nothing else.

“Rajya”, “Sambad” and the other words

Many readers think in Bengali, Hindi, Assamese or Nepali and type in English letters. That is how a phrase like Rajya Lottery Sambad is born. There is nothing wrong with it. It is how people really speak.

So “state lottery sambad” and “sambad state lottery” are not two different things. They are the same request in a different word order: show me the result of the state lottery draw I have a ticket for.

More everyday words, such as the ones for one o’clock, six o’clock and eight o’clock, are explained on the page about today’s result in simple words. Voice typing changes these words in funny ways, and that page lists the common ones.

Which state lottery lists each Dear draw

Behind every Rajya Lottery Sambad search there is one state’s lottery. For the Dear draws, the result lists we read print a state heading over each sheet. The table shows that heading for each draw time, with the name on the newest sheet we hold.

Two draws, the first and the last of the day, sit under one heading. The page on the two Nagaland-listed draws shows them together with their recent results.

The middle draw sits under the other heading. It is covered on the page for the Sikkim-listed evening draw. If you prefer one screen for everything, the home page shows all three draws today.

Please note the words we use. We say “listed under” because that is what we can see. We have not verified how each department runs its draws, where the draws are held or how tickets are distributed, and we do not speak for any department.

State lotteries that exist but are not listed here

People who type Rajya Lottery Sambad do not always mean the Dear draws. Other state lotteries exist, with their own tickets and their own results. We do not list them, and we would be guessing if we described them.

Kerala

The Kerala State Lottery is completely separate from the Dear draws. Kerala’s own department runs it with its own tickets. We do not state its draw time, names or prizes, because we have not verified them. Our short page on the Kerala mix-up explains how to avoid checking the wrong result.

Manipur, Punjab and others

Readers also search for a Manipur or a Punjab state lottery result. We carry no such results. We have not verified anything about those draws, so we say nothing about their times, names or prizes. The department of the state printed on your ticket is the place to look.

West Bengal readers

The phrase “Lottery Sambad” is itself Bengali, and the Dear results are followed very closely by Bengali readers. That does not make the Dear draws a West Bengal lottery. Our page for readers in Bengal looks at this in more detail.

State lotteries and the law, in general terms

The word “rajya” matters most when it comes to the law. Under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, each state decides for itself whether lottery tickets may be sold inside its borders. There is no single answer for the whole country.

Some states allow lotteries and many do not. We have not verified a list of which state stands where, and rules can change, so we do not print one. Check the rule in the state where you live before you think about a ticket.

Buying or selling tickets in a state that bans them is illegal. Reading a result is a different thing, and it is all this website offers. Nothing here is an invitation to buy.

One more general point. As far as public notices say, state lottery departments do not sell these paper tickets online. An offer of a “state lottery ticket” on a web page or in a chat app is not something we can vouch for, and we advise against it. Our play-safe guide covers this and the common scams.

How to tell which state result your ticket needs

Forget the words Rajya Lottery Sambad for a moment and look at the paper in your hand. The ticket tells you which result you need.

1. Read the draw name. A Dear draw name starts with the word “Dear” and ends with a weekday.
2. Read the date and the draw time. For the Dear draws the time is 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM.
3. Find the series, which is two digits and a letter, and the five-digit number after it.
4. Open the sheet of that date and that time, and only then compare the digits.

If the name on your ticket does not start with “Dear”, or the time is not one of the three above, the ticket is most likely for a lottery we do not list. Do not test it against our sheets. A chance match of digits with another lottery’s number is not a win.

• 🏷️NameThe draw name on the ticket must be the name on the sheet.
• 🕐Date and timeOne date and one draw time. Yesterday’s sheet does not count.
• 🔢Series and digitsThe series matters for the 1st prize. Lower lines read the digits only.

When all three points fit a Dear draw, you can let the number checker do the reading. It tests your number against the stored sheets of the date you choose and names the prize line.

Rajya Lottery Sambad: what to remember

Rajya Lottery Sambad means state lottery news. Here it stands for the three Dear draws: two listed under the Nagaland State Lottery and one under the Sikkim State Lottery. Other state lotteries exist, and we do not list them.

Your ticket, not the search phrase, tells you which result is yours. Read its name, date and time first. Then remember the two limits that never change: your own state’s law decides whether a ticket may be sold where you live, and the government gazette decides which number has won.
