Tara the kingfisher reading the news for West Bengal Lottery Sambad readers

West Bengal Lottery Sambad is how many Bengali readers ask for the day’s Dear lottery numbers. The phrase itself is Bengali, and the result is followed very closely by people who speak the language. This page puts today’s three draws at the top and then explains the words you may hear or type.

We are a results website only. We sell no tickets and give no tips. Everything below is about reading a published result correctly.

West Bengal Lottery Sambad: today’s three draws

Each card below is one draw. Before the draw it counts down. After the published sheet is read, the card fills with the first prize by itself. Open the full prize sheet from a card to see every winning number of that draw.

The board follows Indian time and moves to the new date after midnight. Numbers usually reach public lists within minutes of a draw, so a short wait is normal. The front page also carries all three draws today, with the first prize numbers of the last week under them.

Why “Lottery Sambad” is a Bengali phrase

In Bengali, sambad is the everyday word for news. Put it after “lottery” and you get “lottery news”, which is exactly what a result is: the news of which number came out. The same word is understood in several other Indian languages too.

That is why the phrase feels natural to a Bangla speaker. Nobody had to teach it. A person asks for the lottery sambad the way they would ask for the day’s news, and everyone around knows what is meant.

It also explains searches such as bangla lottery sambad. The reader is not looking for a different lottery. They want the same Dear numbers, described in their own language. If you prefer the Hindi way of saying it, the aaj ka result page covers those words.

The Bengali words people type, explained

Many readers who look for West Bengal Lottery Sambad speak into the phone instead of typing. Voice typing then turns Bengali sounds into the closest English word it knows. The results can look odd on the screen, but each one has a clear meaning.

None of these spellings is wrong or silly. They are simply what a phone writes when it hears Bangla. Here is what each word points to.

Words heard in Bengal and what they mean
Word typedWhat it meansWhat the reader wants
ektar, actorekta-r: one o’clockThe 1:00 PM draw
chhota, chhatarchhoy-ta: six o’clockThe 6:00 PM draw
atta, aat-ta, afteraat-ta: eight o’clockThe 8:00 PM draw
dupurafternoonThe 1:00 PM result
raatnightThe 8:00 PM result
ajkertoday’sThe result of the current date
tarikhdate, as in “26 tarikh” for the 26thAn old result by date
khelagame or drawOne of the three daily draws
rajyastateThe state lottery result
faxthe result sheet (an old habit)The full published sheet

One word needs extra care. “Morning” in lottery talk is not the early morning. It means the first draw of the day, which is the 1 PM draw. “Day” or “evening” points to the 6 PM draw, and “night” to the 8 PM draw.

Reading the sheet in Bangla terms

When someone says “show me the fax”, they mean the full result sheet. The word comes from the days when sheets were sent to sellers by fax. On this site the sheet is plain text, so it opens quickly on a slow connection and you can search it.

Whatever language you read West Bengal Lottery Sambad in, the ticket is the same. A Dear ticket has two parts. The series is two digits and a letter. The number is five digits. Take an invented ticket, 47K 61358, as an example. It is made up for this page and is not a result.

  • It wins the 1st prize only if the 1st prize reads exactly 47K 61358.
  • It wins the consolation prize if the 1st prize has the digits 61358 under another series.
  • It wins the 2nd prize if 61358 is printed in the 2nd prize line.
  • It wins a 3rd, 4th or 5th prize if its last four digits, 1358, are printed in one of those lines.

A ticket is paid once, for the highest prize it matches, and only for the draw printed on it. A dupur ticket cannot win on the raat sheet. The table shows the prize lines on current sheets. An older stored sheet can differ, and then the stored sheet is the one to read.

Prize lines on current Dear sheets
PrizeAmountNumbers drawnWhat must match
1st Prize₹1 Crore1Series and all 5 digits
Consolation Prize₹1,0001Same 5 digits, any other series
2nd Prize₹9,00010All 5 digits
3rd Prize₹45010Last 4 digits
4th Prize₹25010Last 4 digits
5th Prize₹120100Last 4 digits

Tax and claim steps are explained in the prize and claim guide. If you would rather not match digits by eye, the ticket checker tests one number against the dupur, evening and raat sheets of a date together.

Kolkata, Bengal, Paschim Bangla: one result

People add the place they live in to the phrase. So you will see kolkata lottery sambad, bengal lottery sambad and paschim bangla lottery sambad. On the lists we read there is no separate draw for a city or a district. All of these searches lead to the same three Dear draws.

The draws themselves are not listed under West Bengal. On the result lists we read, the 1 PM and 8 PM draws appear under the Nagaland State Lottery and the 6 PM draw under the Sikkim State Lottery. West Bengal Lottery Sambad describes the readers, not the state that runs the draw.

There are two things we will not tell you, because we have not verified them. We do not say who sells tickets in West Bengal. We also do not describe West Bengal’s own state lottery or publish numbers for it. If your ticket is not a Dear ticket, use the result published by the department named on it.

Looking for a past date, a particular tarikh? The old results archive has one page per day. It holds 795 days so far, beginning on 1 September 2024, and a day the public lists did not carry is marked as missing.

Staying safe with result posts in Bangla

Result pictures in Bengali travel fast through chat apps, video sites and social media. Some are plain copies of the sheet. Some are old sheets shared again, and some are edited. A picture with no date and no draw name on it should not be trusted.

If a West Bengal Lottery Sambad search led you to such a post, three habits protect you:

  • Check the date and the draw time on the result against the date and draw on your ticket.
  • Read the full series and all five digits yourself. Do not rely on someone else’s reading.
  • Remember that the result printed in the government gazette is the one a claim is paid on. Our numbers are careful copies, and a copy can carry a mistake.

The law also matters. Under the Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, each state decides whether lottery tickets may be sold there. Some states allow them and many do not, so check the rule where you live. We do not encourage anyone to buy a ticket.

West Bengal Lottery Sambad: quick answers

What does “Lottery Sambad” mean in Bengali?

Sambad means news in Bengali and in several other Indian languages. So the phrase reads as “lottery news”: the daily announcement of the winning numbers. It is a way of speaking, not the name of a separate lottery.

Is West Bengal Lottery Sambad a separate lottery?

No. It is the way many Bengali readers ask for the Dear lottery result. The numbers behind the phrase are the three daily Dear draws, which the result lists we read place under the Nagaland and Sikkim state lotteries.

Which draws does this page show for readers in West Bengal?

The three Dear draws of the day, at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM Indian time. On the result lists we read, the 1 PM and 8 PM draws are listed under the Nagaland State Lottery and the 6 PM draw under the Sikkim State Lottery.

Is there a separate Kolkata Lottery Sambad draw?

Not on the result lists we read. People add Kolkata, Bengal or Bangla to the phrase because of where they live or the language they speak. The numbers they are looking for are the same three Dear draws shown on this page.

Do you show the result of West Bengal’s own state lottery?

No. We list only the Dear draws. We have not verified the details of West Bengal’s own state lottery, so we do not describe it or publish numbers for it.

My phone wrote “actor” when I said the draw time. What happened?

Voice typing heard the Bengali word ekta-r, which means one o’clock, and wrote the nearest English word. In the same way chhoy-ta (six o’clock) often becomes “chhota” and aat-ta (eight o’clock) becomes “atta” or “after”.

Why do some people call the result a “fax”?

It is an old habit. Result sheets were once sent to sellers by fax, and the word stayed in daily speech. When someone asks for the fax, they mean the published result sheet.

Can I buy a ticket from this website?

No. This is an information website. It sells no tickets, takes no payments and has no agents. As far as public notices say, the state lottery departments do not sell these paper tickets online either.

The same three draws, in your own words

West Bengal Lottery Sambad is a Bengali way of asking for the Dear lottery result. Whether you say ektar, chhoy-ta or aat-ta, dupur or raat, the answer is one of three draws at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The board at the top of this page shows them as soon as each sheet is published.

Read the whole number, match the date, and treat the gazette as the final word. We will keep the numbers clear and easy to find. The decision to play, where it is legal, is always yours.
