Dear Puja Bumper 2026 is being searched for a reported 24 October 2026 draw at 6 PM, but the official Nagaland and Sikkim scheme pages available on 17 October do not show a 2026 Puja Bumper notification. This guide separates those reported details from the official historical records, so you know what to check before trusting a result or trying to claim a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Puja Bumper 2026 at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The table below is the safest summary before the state issues a current scheme notice. \u201cReported\u201d means the detail appears in unofficial listings or result pages; it is not confirmation by a state lottery department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date and time may be correct, but they should not be treated as final until a scheme notification or result document from the issuing state appears. A search result, social-media post, ticket image or video is not enough to establish the organiser, price or prize structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the draw goes ahead at the reported time, start with our Lottery Sambad 6 PM result page<\/a>. If the state publishes the result later in the evening, also check the Lottery Sambad 8 PM result page<\/a>. These pages are information pages, not official state lottery pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which state runs the Puja Bumper?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 organiser is not confirmed by the official scheme pages reviewed for this article. The official Nagaland winners page does record a Dear Puja Bumper 2023 Lottery<\/strong>, with a draw date of 28 October 2023 and a first prize of \u20b95 crore. It also records Dear Durga Puja Bumper draws in 2021 and 2022. That makes Nagaland the relevant historical reference, but it does not prove that the 2026 edition is a Nagaland draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nagaland\u2019s current schemes listing shows its published weekly schemes and draw times, while the current Sikkim schemes page lists the Dear 6 PM weekly set and a Dear Ganesh Chaturthi Bumper 2026. Neither page, as checked on 17 October, confirms a Dear Puja Bumper 2026 scheme. Check the official Nagaland winners record<\/a> and the official Sikkim schemes page<\/a> for a state-issued update before relying on a circulating announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name \u201cDear\u201d does not by itself identify the state. Similar names can be used for schemes connected with different state lotteries, and a bumper draw can have a different ticket price, series format, prize table and claim process from a normal daily draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past Puja and Durga Puja bumper draws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These past entries come from the official Nagaland winners record. They are useful for context, but old prize amounts and ticket formats should not be copied into the 2026 result guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edition shown in the official record<\/th>Draw date<\/th>First prize shown<\/th>First-prize ticket<\/th>Winner name shown<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Dear Durga Puja Bumper<\/td>15 October 2021<\/td>\u20b95 crore<\/td>90418<\/td>Ripan Sarkar<\/td><\/tr>
Dear Durga Puja Bumper<\/td>8 October 2022<\/td>\u20b95 crore<\/td>44343<\/td>Sudip Maity<\/td><\/tr>
Dear Puja Bumper 2023<\/td>28 October 2023<\/td>\u20b95 crore<\/td>721131<\/td>Raj Pal<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The table does not mean that the 2026 first prize will also be \u20b95 crore. The 2026 figure, if there is an edition, must come from its own scheme document. Likewise, do not use a past ticket number to predict a future result: lottery draws are random, and no number pattern can establish a winning number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to check the result on draw day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use this order when checking the reported 24 October draw:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n
  1. Confirm the date and time first.<\/strong> Check for a state-issued scheme notice or result document. If no official notice is available, keep the date and time labelled as reported.<\/li>\n\n\n
  2. Open the 6 PM result page.<\/strong> Use the 6 PM result page<\/a> around the reported draw time. Wait for the result to be declared; do not treat a pre-draw post as a result.<\/li>\n\n\n
  3. Check the 8 PM page if needed.<\/strong> The 8 PM result page<\/a> is useful if the bumper result is published later or appears with the evening result update.<\/li>\n\n\n
  4. Match every part of the ticket.<\/strong> Compare the series or prefix, full ticket number, draw name and draw date. A matching last digit or partial number is not a winning match.<\/li>\n\n\n
  5. Read the complete prize list.<\/strong> Check the first prize, consolation entry and lower prize ranks where they are published. Do not rely only on a cropped image or a message forwarded in a group.<\/li>\n\n\n
  6. Verify before making a claim.<\/strong> Cross-check the winning entry against the official result source for the issuing state. Our page can help you find the information, but it does not replace the government result document.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here is the site\u2019s draw schedule page for the regular time slots and named Dear draws:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Use
    Use the draw schedule to compare the published draw name and time before checking a result.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The regular timetable is not proof of a bumper timetable. A special draw can have its own date and time, so always give the bumper\u2019s own notice priority over a normal weekly schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How a bumper prize is claimed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Claim rules depend on the state, the scheme and the value of the prize. Start by identifying the issuing state from the official result document; do not assume that a \u201cDear\u201d draw uses the same claim office as another Dear-named draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep the original ticket safe and readable. Do not send a photograph of the ticket, your bank details, an OTP or a government-ID image to a person who contacts you through WhatsApp or social media. Use the claim instructions published by the relevant state lottery department, and ask that department or its listed office if the instructions are unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
