0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

The Nagaland State Lottery has announced the results of its Saturday Dear Spark draw, held at 1 PM, revealing the winner of a Rs 1 crore jackpot prize.

The state-run lottery, widely known as Lottery Sambad, publishes results for several draws each day, typically scheduled for 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM.

According to the source report, the draw forms part of an ongoing series of results, alongside a separate Dear Victory draw expected on September 25, 2026.

As with previous editions, the jackpot winner is determined by matching a unique ticket number drawn during the official lottery process, with additional smaller prizes awarded to other matching numbers.

Once the draw concludes, the Nagaland government publishes an official winners list, allowing ticket holders across the region and beyond to verify their results promptly.

The Nagaland State Lottery has built a large following over the years due to its frequent draws and the sizeable jackpots on offer, drawing considerable public interest whenever results are announced.

Ticket holders typically purchase entries ahead of a scheduled draw and monitor official channels closely to confirm whether their numbers correspond to any of the listed prizes.

While the report does not provide further details about the specific winning number or the identity of the jackpot winner, it confirms that the Rs 1 crore prize was awarded during the Saturday session.

The lottery continues to operate as part of a broader system of state-run lotteries in India, which remain a significant source of revenue for several state governments.

Further results, including those for the Sunday and subsequent draws, are expected to be released through official Lottery Sambad channels in the coming days.
