How to verify before you claim
Never trust a single screenshot. Cross-check the winning number on this page against the official bulletin linked on every result card, then match your physical ticket digit by digit.
Claims above ₹10,000 must be submitted to the concerned state lottery office with the original ticket, identity proof and a claim form. Smaller prizes can normally be collected from any authorised retailer in the state.
Play responsibly
Lottery tickets are entertainment, not income. The odds of hitting the 1st prize on a daily Dear draw are roughly one in a crore, and no system, guessing formula or "machine number" changes that.
Set a fixed monthly spend you can afford to lose, never borrow to buy tickets, and never pay anyone who promises a guaranteed winning number. Lotteries are for players aged 18 and above.
Frequently asked questions
Is playing the Dear Lottery legal?
Lotteries run by state governments are legal in the states that organise them. Interstate online sale is restricted, so buy from a licensed retailer in person and keep the receipt.
Can I predict the winning number?
No. Every draw is an independent random event. Any site, Telegram group or WhatsApp broadcast that sells "guaranteed" numbers is running a scam.
