Punjab state is declaring the outcome of its Dear 1000 quarterly lottery on October 10, 2026, presenting ticket holders with a massive top prize of Rs 50 lakh. The lucky draw is broadcast live starting at 7:00 pm from the Camp Office located in Ludhiana. In contrast to the standard lottery draws conducted across the state, the Dear 1000 scheme carries a ticket price of Rs 1,000. Across the entire program, eight distinct prize divisions have been organized. Simultaneously, the state is also declaring the results of its Dear 50 Jackal Saturday weekly lottery draw during the evening hours.
Breakdown of Winning Tiers and Prize Money Distribution
Under the Dear 1000 quarterly scheme, the first prize of Rs 50 lakh is reserved exclusively for a single winner. The lottery structure does not include any consolation prizes. Similarly, the second prize tier is allocated to just one recipient, who secures Rs 5 lakh.
The prize pool widens considerably across the subsequent divisions. A total of 20 winners will be drawn for the third prize, with each receiving Rs 9,000. The fourth prize will also reward 20 participants with an individual payout of Rs 7,000. Continuing this structure, the fifth prize enables another 20 winners to collect Rs 6,000 each, while the sixth prize awards 20 ticket holders a sum of Rs 5,000 each.
For the seventh division, approximately 40 participants will be chosen to take home Rs 3,000 each. The final and largest bracket, the eighth prize, awards a substantial group of 800 winners an amount of Rs 1,000 each.
Prize Claim Channels Based on Payout Value
Specific collection procedures depend directly on the quantum of money won. Participants whose prize amounts fall below Rs 10,000 can process and redeem their payouts directly at any authorized retail agent or registered lottery shop throughout Punjab.
For intermediate gains valued between Rs 10,000 and Rs 1 lakh, claimants must take their winning ticket directly to the Punjab State Lottery Office. Whenever a payout surpasses Rs 1 lakh, the ticket holder is required to submit the winning ticket and formal claim to the Directorate of Lotteries (Punjab Govt.).
