In the last 90 days, first-prize numbers starting with 3 came up most often (30 draws), and numbers ending in 3 led all final digits. The draws are random — this is just what the gazette published.
Across all archived 1 PM draws, Thursday has the most entries in our database (33 draws).
How to Read a Dear Lottery Ticket — Series Code Explained
The official gazette 1st prize entry typically lists a series code (like 89C) alongside the winning number. Your ticket will also show a series code and a 5-digit number.
Result Check: If the 5-digit number matches but the series does not, you didn't win the 1st prize. However, you may still have won a lower tier prize — this is where people make a mistake and bin the ticket.
Rule: For the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th prizes — only the 5-digit number counts, not the series. Match your number across every prize row before discarding it. Only the 1st prize requires both series and number to match.

Lottery Winning Tax (TDS)
In India, lottery winnings are subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under the Income Tax Act. A significant percentage of large prizes is deducted before the payout reaches the winner.
The Directorate deducts the applicable TDS before issuing the cheque or NEFT for large prizes. For smaller prizes (typically those paid out in cash by local retailers), the process is different. Always consult a tax professional or the official government tax guidelines regarding the current TDS percentage and reporting requirements.
How to Claim a Nagaland Lottery Prize
The claim process involves verifying your ticket and submitting the proper paperwork. Common issues include:
Missing the deadline. Lottery tickets have a strict validity period that starts from the draw date on the gazette.
Damaged ticket. Wet, torn, or heavily folded tickets may fail verification. Keep any ticket you think might be a winner in a dry, flat place.
Claim location. Smaller prizes are usually handled by local authorised retailers, whereas large prizes must be processed through the official Directorate office.
Missing documentation. Major prize payouts require official identification (such as a PAN card) for tax deduction purposes.
Always verify the exact current rules, deadlines, and required offices directly on the official claim form.
