“Dear jackpot” is a search phrase people use for the regular Dear lottery’s ₹1 crore first prize, not the name of a separate official draw. This guide explains what the phrase means, how the daily draw slots work, what a ₹1 crore prize may look like after the basic tax deduction, and where to check a published result.
Is there a draw called “Dear Jackpot”?
No separate government scheme should be assumed from the words Dear Jackpot. The official Nagaland State Lotteries scheme information identifies lotteries by their scheme or draw name, date and scheduled time; it does not establish “Dear Jackpot” as one additional draw alongside the named Dear weekly lotteries.
In everyday searches, the phrase is shorthand. It may refer to any of the regular Dear draws at 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM IST, especially when the first prize is shown as ₹1 crore. A result page may also use phrases such as “Dear 1 Crore” or “Dear jackpot result” to help readers find the first-prize entry. Those labels do not change the draw’s official name.
The Nagaland State Lotteries schemes page is the right place to check the government’s scheme information. The page you are reading is an independent results-information site, not a state government or lottery-operator website.
What people mean by the ₹1 crore first prize
The “jackpot” in this search context normally means the first-prize amount printed in the applicable result or scheme document. ₹1 crore is ₹1,00,00,000, or one hundred lakh. It describes the advertised prize for a qualifying first-prize ticket; it is not a guaranteed payment to every ticket holder and it is not a prediction of which number will appear.
Keep these points separate:
| Phrase | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Dear jackpot | Informal search wording for the large first prize in a Dear result |
| Dear 1 crore | Another common label for a draw whose first prize is shown as ₹1 crore |
| First-prize ticket | The exact series and number printed in the official result |
| Dear bumper | A separate special draw that can have its own date, scheme and prize structure |
The amount can vary by scheme. Regular weekly draws and seasonal bumper draws are not interchangeable, so do not carry the ₹1 crore figure from one result to another without reading the current result sheet. Before treating a ticket as a possible match, check the lottery name, draw date, draw time, series and complete number.
How often is the Dear first prize drawn?
The regular schedule has three daily result slots in Indian Standard Time:
| Draw slot | How often it appears | Example of the weekly naming pattern |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PM | Once each day | RISE Monday, SHINE Tuesday, WISH Sunday |
| 6 PM | Once each day | LEGEND Monday, PRESTIGE Tuesday, EMPIRE Sunday |
| 8 PM | Once each day | CLOVER Monday, DESTINY Tuesday, MAGIC Sunday |
That makes 21 named weekly draws across seven days, subject to the applicable scheme and publication of the result. The name changes with the weekday, while the slot remains 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM IST. Use the Lottery Sambad draw schedule if you need to identify the draw name for a date.
This does not mean that one “Dear Jackpot” draw happens once a week. The search phrase can point to the first-prize entry in any of the three regular daily slots. A bumper is a different event and should be checked against its own dated scheme notice.
What would a ₹1 crore winner receive after tax?
The printed prize and the amount paid after deductions are not necessarily the same. The Income Tax Department’s current TDS table lists a 30% rate under Section 194B for winnings from lotteries and similar games, and the department notes that the rate can be increased by applicable surcharge and Health and Education Cess. Section 194B also covers winnings above the stated ₹10,000 threshold under the applicable rules.
For a simple illustration only:
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Printed first prize | ₹1,00,00,000 |
| 30% base TDS illustration | ₹30,00,000 |
| Balance before any surcharge, cess or other tax treatment | ₹70,00,000 |
This is not a promise of the final amount. The rate, surcharge, cess, payment date, tax year and your overall tax position can affect the result. For current rules, read the Income Tax Department’s Section 194B page and its current TDS rates, then obtain qualified tax advice for your own circumstances.
If a ticket appears to match a first-prize result, do not calculate or accept a net amount from a forwarded message. Follow the claim instructions on the relevant state lottery document. The Nagaland State Lotteries result page and the current claim instructions are the appropriate government references for a Nagaland draw.
Where to check today’s Dear jackpot result
Start with our today’s Lottery Sambad results page, which brings together the available 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM entries. If you are looking specifically for the evening draw, use the Lottery Sambad 8 PM result page.
Use this order when checking a result:
- Confirm the draw date and weekday.
- Confirm the time slot: 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM IST.
- Read the draw name shown for that date and slot.
- Compare the complete series and number, preserving leading zeroes.
- Check the prize heading and compare any possible match with the state-issued result document.
Our Dear lottery result chart is useful for a quick first-prize lookup by date and slot. A chart is an index, not a substitute for the complete result sheet. It may not show every prize category, so open the date-specific result when you need to check a second, third, fourth or fifth prize.
How to read a Dear jackpot first-prize entry
A first-prize entry commonly includes a series code and a five-digit number. For example, an entry displayed as 68K 08473 has the series 68K and the number 08473. The example is only showing the format; use the exact entry printed for the draw you are checking.
Do not compare just the last five digits if the ticket includes a series. Also keep any leading zero: 08473 is five digits, not 8473. A possible match must agree on the relevant details shown in the official result:
- the date of the draw;
- the regular or bumper scheme name;
- the 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM slot;
- the series or prefix; and
- every digit in the winning number and the prize category.
If an image shared in a chat group has no date, draw name or source, treat it as unverified. Use the dated text result as a convenient reference and then compare it with the current government publication before taking a claim-related step.
What “Dear jackpot result today” should mean
The word today is important. A page titled “Dear jackpot result today” should identify the date and slot it covers; yesterday’s 8 PM entry is not today’s 8 PM entry, even if both use the same weekly draw name on different weeks.
When you search, prefer a page that shows:
- the result date in a clear heading;
- the draw time and weekday;
- the scheme or draw name;
- the first-prize series and number in readable text; and
- a route to the full result or official publication.
For an older result, use the old Lottery Sambad results archive and confirm the date before reading the entry. Our archive begins on 7 January 2026 and is not a complete record of earlier years.
Remember that a published chart records a completed draw. It cannot predict a future result, identify a “sure” number or make one number more likely than another.
Common mistakes when checking the Dear jackpot
Treating the phrase as a separate lottery
“Dear jackpot” is commonly used as a search label, not as proof of a separate official scheme. Identify the actual draw name, date and time on the result document.
Assuming every first prize is ₹1 crore
Regular draws and bumpers can have different scheme details. Read the current prize table instead of copying an amount from an older post or a different draw.
Calculating the net amount as exactly ₹70 lakh
₹70 lakh is only the balance after subtracting a simple 30% illustration from ₹1 crore. Surcharge, cess and the current tax position may affect the amount paid and the tax you ultimately owe.
Matching a number without its series
The series can be part of the winning entry. Compare it with the number, date, slot and prize category on the complete result.
FAQ
What does Dear jackpot mean?
Dear jackpot is informal search wording for the large first prize in a regular Dear lottery result, often described as ₹1 crore. It is not, by itself, the name of a separate official draw.
Is Dear Jackpot a separate lottery scheme?
Do not assume that it is. Official scheme information uses a specific lottery or draw name, date and time; “Dear jackpot” is generally a shorthand people use when looking for the first-prize result.
Is the Dear first prize always ₹1 crore?
No fixed amount should be assumed across every regular draw and bumper. Check the current scheme or result document because the prize structure belongs to the particular draw.
How much tax is deducted from a ₹1 crore lottery prize?
The Income Tax Department currently lists 30% TDS under Section 194B for lottery winnings, with applicable surcharge and Health and Education Cess potentially increasing the deduction. A simple 30% calculation leaves ₹70 lakh before those additions, but verify the current rate and your tax position before relying on any figure.
Where can I check today’s Dear jackpot result?
Use the today’s Lottery Sambad results page or the relevant 8 PM result page, then confirm the date, slot, series and number against the current state lottery publication. This site is independent and does not issue official prize claims.
