Old Lottery Results by Date

Finding an older result

Every draw we have on file is kept in the date-wise archive. Pick the date, then read the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM winning numbers for that day, and follow the official bulletin link to confirm.

If you are checking a ticket from months ago, remember the claim deadline. Most state schemes void claims after the window printed on the ticket, and no archive can revive an expired ticket.

How to read your Dear Lottery result

A Dear Lottery ticket carries a series (for example 65G) and a five-digit number (for example 50053). The 1st prize is announced as the series plus the number together — so 65G 50053 wins ₹1 crore, and every other series ending in 50053 wins the consolation prize of ₹1,000.

Below the 1st prize, the sheet lists ten 2nd prize numbers, ten 3rd prize numbers, ten 4th prize numbers and one hundred 5th prize numbers. Those prizes are paid on the number alone, whatever the series, which is why the same five digits can win in thousands of tickets at once.

• 1st Prize — ₹1 crore (series + number)
• Consolation — ₹1,000 (same number, all other series)
• 2nd Prize — ₹9,000 (ten numbers)
• 3rd Prize — ₹500 (ten numbers)
• 4th Prize — ₹250 (ten numbers)
• 5th Prize — ₹120 (one hundred numbers)

Claiming a Dear Lottery prize

Prizes up to ₹10,000 are usually paid by licensed retailers against the original ticket. Above that, the claim goes to the state lottery department: you submit the signed original ticket, a photograph, proof of identity and address, a claim form and a bank account details.

Claims must be made within the deadline printed on the ticket — typically 30 to 90 days from the draw date. A ticket that is torn, burnt beyond recognition or missing its serial number will not be honoured, so photograph your ticket the moment you buy it.

TDS is deducted at source on prizes above the statutory threshold, and a 2% seller prize deduction applies from 1 April 2026. Factor that in when you estimate what actually reaches your bank account.

Mistakes that cost people their prize

The three that come up again and again: matching only the last four digits instead of the full five, checking the wrong draw time, and missing the claim deadline.

Two more: handing the ticket to a stranger to "check" for you, and posting a photo of the ticket publicly before claiming — the ticket number is all someone needs to attempt a fraudulent claim.

• Match all five digits, not four.
• Confirm you are reading the right draw (1 PM / 6 PM / 8 PM).
• Claim within the window printed on the ticket.
• Never hand the original ticket to an intermediary.
• Blur the serial number in any photo you post.
