  "content": "Lottery players across Nagaland have three separate chances to win a top prize of Rs 1 crore on September 5, 2026, as the state runs its Sambad Dear Saturday Weekly lottery series through the day.\n\nThree Draws Through The Day\nThe Saturday lineup opens with the Dear Vision Morning draw, which was held at 1 PM. It is followed by the Dear Elite Evening draw, which went live at 6 PM, and the day closes with the Dear Lucky Night draw, scheduled for 8 PM. Each of these three draws carries its own top prize of Rs 1 crore, meaning ticket holders effectively get three independent shots at the same jackpot amount within a single day.\n\nClaiming Smaller Prizes Locally\nWinners whose prize amount comes to less than Rs 10,000 do not need to go through any paperwork with state offices. These smaller prizes can be collected directly at designated lottery shops within Nagaland, the same outlets where tickets are sold.\n\nThe Process For Prizes Above Rs 10,000\nAnyone holding a winning ticket worth more than Rs 10,000 has to follow a more formal route. The claim has to be submitted through a claim form addressed to the Director, Nagaland State Lotteries, or to the Nodal Officer. The form must clearly state the claimant's name, postal address and contact number, along with full details of the winning ticket. It also has to be accompanied by a PAN card, an Aadhaar card and bank account details, including a cancelled cheque.\n\nAdditional Paperwork Required With The Claim\nBeyond the claim form itself, the guidelines call for the original winning ticket to be submitted along with three passport-size photographs of the claimant. Photocopies of all supporting documents need to be attested by a First-Class Magistrate or a Notary Public. On top of this, claimants must submit an affidavit swearing ownership of the winning ticket before the prize money above Rs 10,000 is released.\n\nWhat this means for you\nIf you hold a Nagaland Dear lottery ticket for today's draws, the amount you win decides exactly how you get paid, so it helps to know both routes before you claim.\n\n• Across India: The paperwork listed here, PAN card, Aadhaar card, bank details and a notarised affidavit, reflects the standard documentation state lotteries across India ask for on prizes above Rs 10,000. Anyone holding a winning ticket from any state lottery can expect a similar checklist before the prize money is released.\n• In Nagaland: Winners of small prizes under Rs 10,000 from today's three draws can walk into the lottery shop where they bought the ticket and collect the cash right away, with no forms needed. Those winning bigger amounts should start gathering their PAN, Aadhaar and bank cheque details now, since the claim form has to go to the Director, Nagaland State Lotteries or the Nodal Officer.\n• Timing matters: With three separate draws today, at 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM, ticket holders should check results against the correct draw name, Dear Vision Morning, Dear Elite Evening or Dear Lucky Night, before assuming a ticket has not won.\n• Keep the original ticket safe: Claims above Rs 10,000 require the original ticket itself, not a photo or photocopy, along with three passport-size photographs, so winners should avoid damaging or misplacing it while arranging the other paperwork.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. When are today's Nagaland Dear lottery draws?\nThere are three draws today, Dear Vision Morning at 1 PM, Dear Elite Evening at 6 PM and Dear Lucky Night at 8 PM.\n\n2. How much is the top prize in each draw?\nEach of the three draws carries a top prize of Rs 1 crore.\n\n3. How can a prize under Rs 10,000 be collected?\nIt can be collected directly at designated lottery shops in Nagaland without any paperwork.\n\n4.

What documents are needed with the claim form?\nThe claimant's name, address, contact number and ticket details, along with a PAN card, Aadhaar card and bank details with a cancelled cheque.\n\n6. Is anything else required besides the original ticket?\nYes, three passport-size photos, attested photocopies of documents, and an affidavit swearing ownership of the winning ticket.",
