\u201cDear jackpot\u201d is a search phrase people use for the regular Dear lottery\u2019s \u20b91 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 \u20b91 crore prize may look like after the basic tax deduction, and where to check a published result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a draw called \u201cDear Jackpot\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No separate government scheme should be assumed from the words Dear Jackpot<\/strong>. The official Nagaland State Lotteries scheme information identifies lotteries by their scheme or draw name, date and scheduled time; it does not establish \u201cDear Jackpot\u201d as one additional draw alongside the named Dear weekly lotteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong>, especially when the first prize is shown as \u20b91 crore. A result page may also use phrases such as \u201cDear 1 Crore\u201d or \u201cDear jackpot result\u201d to help readers find the first-prize entry. Those labels do not change the draw\u2019s official name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nagaland State Lotteries schemes page<\/a> is the right place to check the government\u2019s scheme information. The page you are reading is an independent results-information site, not a state government or lottery-operator website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What people mean by the \u20b91 crore first prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cjackpot\u201d in this search context normally means the first-prize amount<\/strong> printed in the applicable result or scheme document. \u20b91 crore is \u20b91,00,00,000, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep these points separate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phrase<\/th>Practical meaning<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Dear jackpot<\/td>Informal search wording for the large first prize in a Dear result<\/td><\/tr>
Dear 1 crore<\/td>Another common label for a draw whose first prize is shown as \u20b91 crore<\/td><\/tr>
First-prize ticket<\/td>The exact series and number printed in the official result<\/td><\/tr>
Dear bumper<\/td>A separate special draw that can have its own date, scheme and prize structure<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The amount can vary by scheme. Regular weekly draws and seasonal bumper draws are not interchangeable, so do not carry the \u20b91 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often is the Dear first prize drawn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The regular schedule has three daily result slots in Indian Standard Time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draw slot<\/th>How often it appears<\/th>Example of the weekly naming pattern<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1 PM<\/td>Once each day<\/td>RISE Monday, SHINE Tuesday, WISH Sunday<\/td><\/tr>
6 PM<\/td>Once each day<\/td>LEGEND Monday, PRESTIGE Tuesday, EMPIRE Sunday<\/td><\/tr>
8 PM<\/td>Once each day<\/td>CLOVER Monday, DESTINY Tuesday, MAGIC Sunday<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> if you need to identify the draw name for a date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does not mean that one \u201cDear Jackpot\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would a \u20b91 crore winner receive after tax?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The printed prize and the amount paid after deductions are not necessarily the same. The Income Tax Department\u2019s current TDS table lists a 30% rate under Section 194B<\/strong> 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 \u20b910,000 threshold under the applicable rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a simple illustration only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calculation<\/th>Amount<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Printed first prize<\/td>\u20b91,00,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
30% base TDS illustration<\/td>\u20b930,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
Balance before any surcharge, cess or other tax treatment<\/td>\u20b970,00,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Section 194B page<\/a> and its current TDS rates<\/a>, then obtain qualified tax advice for your own circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> and the current claim instructions are the appropriate government references for a Nagaland draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this order when checking a result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n
  1. Confirm the draw date<\/strong> and weekday.<\/li>\n\n\n
  2. Confirm the time slot<\/strong>: 1 PM, 6 PM or 8 PM IST.<\/li>\n\n\n
  3. Read the draw name<\/strong> shown for that date and slot.<\/li>\n\n\n
  4. Compare the complete series and number<\/strong>, preserving leading zeroes.<\/li>\n\n\n
  5. Check the prize heading and compare any possible match with the state-issued result document.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Our Dear lottery result chart<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to read a Dear jackpot first-prize entry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A first-prize entry commonly includes a series code and a five-digit number. For example, an entry displayed as 68K 08473<\/code> has the series 68K<\/strong> and the number 08473<\/strong>. The example is only showing the format; use the exact entry printed for the draw you are checking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do not compare just the last five digits if the ticket includes a series. Also keep any leading zero: 08473<\/code> is five digits, not 8473<\/code>. A possible match must agree on the relevant details shown in the official result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
