0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

The Nagaland State Lottery released its Wednesday results on November 4, 2026. The lottery, known as Dear Lottery, held three draws during the day, at 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM.

Each draw gives a chance for people who hold a lottery ticket to win cash prizes. The top prize, or jackpot, in the Wednesday evening draw, called Dear Dream, was worth Rs 1 Crore.

A jackpot is the largest single prize offered in a lottery draw. Only one ticket holder usually wins this amount, while many others win smaller prizes in the same draw.

Nagaland State Lottery runs draws every day under different names. On Monday, November 2, 2026, the state lottery held its Dear Clover draw, which also produced a list of winners.

After each draw, the lottery board publishes an official results list. This document shows the winning numbers for every prize category, from the top jackpot to smaller consolation prizes.

Ticket holders are expected to check their numbers against the published list carefully. Those who match a winning number can then follow the official process to claim their prize money.

The Nagaland State Lottery is one of several government-run lotteries in India. It operates under state supervision and holds regular draws throughout the week, each carrying its own name and schedule.
