How to check lottery results online is straightforward when you first choose the correct draw time, then match the date, series and ticket number. This guide shows you how to check Lottery Sambad results for the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM draws on a phone, find older results and verify any possible match with the state lottery source.
What you need before checking
Keep the ticket or its details in front of you. You need the draw date, draw time, series letters if printed on the ticket, and the complete ticket number. A stable mobile connection is useful, but you do not need a special app.
Before you open a result page, note these details:
- The date printed or written on the ticket.
- The draw time: 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM IST.
- The draw name or series, if shown on the ticket.
- The full number, including any leading zeroes.
Lottery Sambad results are published on independent information pages. They are not a substitute for the result gazette or result page issued by the relevant state lottery department. Use the online page to find the relevant list quickly, then complete the official verification step below.
The three daily Lottery Sambad results and their times
There are three daily result slots, all in Indian Standard Time (IST). Choosing the right slot matters because the same date can have three different result lists.
| Draw slot | Time in India | What to open |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PM | 1:00 PM IST | Lottery Sambad 1 PM result |
| 6 PM | 6:00 PM IST | Lottery Sambad 6 PM result |
| 8 PM | 8:00 PM IST | Lottery Sambad 8 PM result |
The 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM pages can use different draw names on different days. Do not select a page only because its title contains the date; confirm both the time and the date before comparing your ticket.
Step 1: Open the correct result page
Why this matters: opening the correct time slot prevents you from comparing your ticket with a different draw on the same day.
- Open the Lottery Sambad results home page, which brings together the available daily result links.
- Select the 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM result that matches your ticket.
- If you want the night draw directly, open the Lottery Sambad 8 PM result page.
- Check the heading near the top of the page. It should show the result date and the draw time.
If you check immediately at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM or 8:00 PM and the page does not yet show the new list, it may not have been published yet. Refresh after the result is available, and do not treat an older displayed result as the current draw.
Success looks like this: the page date, draw time and your ticket date all agree, and you can see a text table rather than relying only on a forwarded image.
Step 2: Read the result table in the right order
Why this matters: result tables contain several prize sections, so checking only the first visible number can lead to a missed or incorrect comparison.
On the selected page, scan the result from the top down. A typical table may show the first prize followed by other prize categories. Read the labels and compare the number format shown for each category.
Use this sequence:
- Confirm the draw name, date and time.
- Start with the first-prize row and compare the series and number exactly when both are required.
- Continue through the remaining prize rows if your ticket does not match the first row.
- Preserve leading zeroes. For example,
04218and4218should not be treated as the same printed number when the result lists five digits. - Check the ticket number digit by digit instead of relying on a similar-looking ending.
Some prize categories may use a different matching rule, such as the last few digits. Follow the rule printed beside that category and do not apply the first-prize rule to every row. If the page includes a full result table, use that table rather than a cropped social-media image.
Step 3: Search for your number with Find in page
Why this matters: browser search is faster and clearer than scrolling through a long list on a small screen.
On most Android phones, tap the browser menu and choose Find in page. On iPhone, use the browser’s page-search option. On a computer, press Ctrl+F; on a Mac, press Command+F.
Enter the number exactly as printed, including any leading zeroes. If your ticket has a series, search the numeric part first, then inspect the surrounding row for the series. A search hit only tells you that the digits appear on the page; it does not by itself confirm that the complete ticket matches the applicable prize rule.
For a reliable check:
- Search the full number, not just the final digit.
- Look at the row heading beside the match.
- Confirm the draw date and time again.
- Check the series letters separately if the first-prize entry includes a series.
- Search a second time after closing the browser search box so you can read the full row in context.
The text-table format is useful here because the browser can search visible words and numbers. It also lets you zoom the page without making a result image blurry.
Step 4: Find yesterday’s or an older result
Why this matters: a ticket may belong to a past draw, and the current result page is not the right place to check it.
- Open the Lottery Sambad result yesterday page.
- Confirm the date shown on the page against the date on your ticket.
- Select the matching 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM section.
- Use Find in page and compare the number using the same process as today’s result.
The yesterday page is useful when you missed a draw or are checking a ticket from the previous day. The screenshot below shows the date-based layout to look for when moving between the three slots.
For an older date, use the Lottery Sambad old results archive. Select the date first, then choose the draw time. If the date is not listed, do not replace it with a nearby date; search the ticket details again and confirm the exact draw date from the original ticket.
Step 5: Verify a possible match with the official state source
Why this matters: an independent result page helps you locate the entry, but the state lottery’s own result publication is the final reference before any claim-related action.
The 1 PM and 8 PM draws are associated with Nagaland State Lotteries, while the 6 PM draw is associated with Sikkim State Lotteries. For final checking, use the relevant official source:
- Nagaland State Lotteries result gazettes are published by the Finance Department, Government of Nagaland.
- Sikkim State Lotteries provides its results area, including the Dear 6:00 PM weekly result.
Match all of the following before treating a result as confirmed:
- The state or lottery department source.
- The draw date and time.
- The draw name or series where shown.
- The complete number and the applicable prize row.
Keep the original ticket safe. Do not send a ticket image, OTP, bank password or identity document to a person who contacts you through an unsolicited call or message. This website does not collect prize claims and is not connected to a state government or lottery operator.
What to do when the page is not showing a result
Result pages can show a previous update while a new draw is still being posted. Use this short check before assuming there is a problem:
- Confirm that the selected time is correct.
- Check that the page date is the date you need.
- Refresh once after the expected draw time.
- Try the home page and open the slot again.
- If checking an old ticket, move to the yesterday page or archive instead of the today page.
- Use the official state source for the final comparison.
If your browser is offline, save the ticket details and check again when the connection returns. Avoid using forwarded result images as your only reference because an image can be cropped, dated incorrectly or altered.
