How to Check Dear Lottery Results Daily (1PM, 6PM & 8PM draws)

The Dear Lottery is one of India's most popular government-run lotteries, with draws held three times a day. If you've bought a ticket, checking the result correctly and on time matters — here's a simple guide to doing it right.

Draw timings

Dear Lottery draws are typically held at 1:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 8:00 PM every day. Each draw has its own ticket series and result sheet, so make sure you're checking the result for the correct draw time and date printed on your ticket.

How to check your result

Find your ticket details. Note the ticket number, series letter, and the draw date printed on your ticket.
Open the result for the right draw. Results are published as PDF sheets by the organizing state lottery department. For a convenient daily summary of the 1PM, 6PM and 8PM draws, see Dear Lottery Results.
Match your number carefully. Compare your full ticket number against the published prize list. Prizes are awarded for full matches and, in some draws, partial matches too — read the result sheet's rules carefully.
Check the draw date. Always confirm the result sheet's date matches your ticket's draw date. Checking yesterday's sheet for today's ticket is a common mistake.

Tips for ticket holders

Keep your ticket safe. Only the original, undamaged ticket can be claimed. A photo or photocopy is not enough.
Check before the claim deadline. Winning tickets must usually be claimed within a fixed period (often 30 days) — don't sit on a ticket.
Verify from more than one source. If you think you've won, double-check the number on the official PDF before celebrating. You can also cross-check daily updates on Dear Lottery Results.
Claim prizes through official channels. Small prizes can usually be claimed from authorized retailers; larger prizes must be claimed from the lottery department with ID and claim forms.

A note on responsible play

Lotteries are games of chance — the odds of winning a top prize are extremely low. Set a budget, never borrow money to buy tickets, and treat it as entertainment, not income. If playing stops being fun, seek help from a responsible-gaming helpline.
