Nagaland State Lottery has released the results of all three of its popular weekly Sunday draws for 05/07/2026. Held every Sunday, the trio begins with Dear Wish at 1PM in the afternoon, followed by Dear Empire at 6PM in the evening and finally Dear Magic at 8PM at night. Winners across the three draws can take home prizes of up to Rs 3 crore, since each lottery carries a first prize of Rs 1 crore.
All Three Draws Share the Same Prize Structure
Dear Wish (1PM), Dear Empire (6PM) and Dear Magic (8PM) follow an identical prize breakdown. The top reward is the full Rs 1 crore first prize. Beyond that, there is a Rs 1,000 consolation prize, a Rs 9,000 second prize, a Rs 450 third prize, a Rs 250 fourth prize and a Rs 120 fifth prize. In short, whichever ticket number matches the declared results earns the amount tied to that prize tier.
Tax on the First Prize
There is one important point winners should keep in mind. Anyone who bags the first prize is liable to pay tax at the rate of 31.2 percent, including cess. This means the full Rs 1 crore does not reach the winner's hands, the amount that remains after tax is deducted is what is actually paid out.
The Entire Draw Runs Under Government Watch
All of these draws are conducted by the Directorate of Nagaland State Lotteries in line with official guidelines, which keeps the process fully transparent and fair. From issuing tickets to selecting numbers and declaring results, every step is managed under government supervision. That oversight is exactly why the Nagaland lottery system enjoys nationwide credibility.
How to Claim Your Prize
Those whose numbers match the declared results should preserve their tickets carefully and complete the official claim process within the allotted time. Smaller winnings can generally be redeemed through authorized agents, while larger prizes are paid out through government offices as per the official procedure. The bigger the prize amount, the more formal the claim process a winner should expect to follow.
