The Nagaland State Lotteries administration announced the results for the Sambad Dear Saturday Weekly lottery draws on August 29, 2026. Ticket holders participating in the scheduled daily draws stand a chance to win top bumper rewards capped at Rs 1 crore per draw. These weekly Saturday lotteries feature three distinct daily time slots catering to participants across permitted regions.
Complete Schedule for Saturday Lottery Draws
The Saturday lottery event comprises three independent draws conducted at specific hours throughout the day. The primary event starts at 1 PM with the declaration of the Dear Vision Morning lottery result. This is followed by the Dear Elite Evening lottery draw, which goes live at 6 PM. The daily schedule concludes with the Dear Lucky Night lottery draw scheduled for 8 PM. Each of these three lottery draws awards a jackpot sum of Rs 1 crore to the top prize winner.
Procedure for Claiming Prizes Worth Up to Rs 10,000
Prize claim protocols are categorized based on the total winning amount accumulated by the ticket holder. For claims that do not exceed Rs 10,000, winners can collect their cash prize directly from designated local lottery stalls and authorized outlets in Nagaland. Winners must present their original winning ticket to local vendors for immediate verification and payout processing.
Mandatory Documentation for Claims Above Rs 10,000
When the winning amount exceeds the threshold of Rs 10,000, winners must undergo a formal verification process. Claimants are required to submit an official claim application to the Director of Nagaland State Lotteries or the assigned Nodal Officer. The application must explicitly state the claimant's full name, valid postal address, contact number, and detailed particulars of the winning ticket. For identity and financial verification, applicants must attach copies of their PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, complete bank account details, and a cancelled bank cheque.
Verification Formalities and Legal Affidavit Requirements
To prevent fraudulent claims and ensure strict compliance, the lottery administration enforces explicit legal guidelines. The claimant must submit the physical original ticket along with 3 recent passport-size photographs. Photostat copies of all personal identity and financial documents must be officially attested by a First-Class Magistrate or a Notary Public. Additionally, the claimant must execute a legal affidavit swearing undisputed ownership of the winning ticket before the prize money is cleared for disbursement.
