Nagaland State Lottery (Lottery Sambad): Draw Times and How to Check
The Nagaland State Lottery, sold under the Lottery Sambad brand, runs three draws a day — morning (~1 PM), day (~6 PM), and evening (~8 PM IST). This 66 Club Lottery guide explains the schedule, how to check the official result safely, and how prizes are claimed, without ever publishing a fabricated winning number.
Quick Answer: Three Draws Every Day
Searching for the Nagaland State Lottery or Lottery Sambad result? Unlike Kerala’s single afternoon draw, Nagaland runs three draws a day, which is why it keeps trending morning, evening and night. The three windows are roughly a morning draw around 1 PM IST, a day draw around 6 PM, and an evening draw around 8 PM. To see the real winning numbers, use the official Nagaland State Lotteries source — 66 Club Lottery is an online gaming platform, not the Nagaland State Lottery, and does not publish its numbers.
This guide sits under our wider lottery result today hub, which also covers the Kerala lottery result today. Here we focus on the Sambad schedule, safe checking, and honest claim rules.
What Exactly Is Lottery Sambad?
“Lottery Sambad” is the widely recognised brand name under which the Nagaland State Lottery results are published and sold, and the phrase has become shorthand across India for checking a state lottery result. The word sambad means “news” — fitting, because the brand is essentially a daily result bulletin. Three separate tickets are drawn each day, each with its own name and time slot. When someone says “Sambad today result”, they mean one of those three Nagaland draws.
Only a handful of Indian states run legal paper lotteries, and many states restrict or ban lottery sales. Know the rules where you live before buying any ticket, online or offline.
Nagaland Draw Times: Morning, Day, and Evening
Here is the general three-draw pattern. Times can shift on holidays or special bumper draws, so treat these as typical windows and confirm on the official source:
| Draw | Typical time (IST) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Around 1:00 PM | First result of the day |
| Day | Around 6:00 PM | Mid-evening result |
| Evening | Around 8:00 PM | Final result of the day; drives the late spike |
Even with three draws, there are still multi-hour gaps between them — a wait that an instant Wingo lottery removes entirely, as we cover below.
How to Check the Official Result Safely
With three draws a day, a consistent checking habit matters even more. Use the same routine every time:
- Pick the right draw. Confirm whether you are checking the morning, day, or evening result — they are three separate draws with different winning numbers.
- Use the official gazette. The Nagaland State Lotteries directorate publishes the official result for each draw; that is the legal record.
- Match the full ticket number and series. Prizes hinge on the complete number, including series letters — not just the ending digits.
- Cross-check a reputable news source. Trusted portals republish each draw; if anything conflicts with the gazette, trust the gazette.
And remember the principle from our result chart guide: no seller, app, or “trick” can predict the next Sambad draw. Each draw is independent and random.
Lottery Sambad Scams to Avoid
The Sambad name is heavily impersonated. Watch for these:
- Fake result apps and channels that post “early” or “confirmed” numbers to gain followers, then push referral links or malware. No one has the result before the official draw.
- Prize-scam calls claiming you won a Sambad draw and demanding a fee or OTP to release it. Never pay to receive winnings; never share an OTP.
- “Guaranteed Sambad number” sellers. Draws are random — a guaranteed number is impossible and selling one is fraud.

An Instant Alternative Between Draws
Even Nagaland’s three daily draws leave long gaps — you check one result and wait hours for the next. If you enjoy the quick thrill of a result but not the wait, an instant game works differently. On 66 Club Lottery, the Wingo game draws a fresh result about every 60 seconds. You predict a colour (red, green, violet), a number, or Big/Small, and the round settles inside the minute. It is a game of chance for entertainment, entirely separate from the Nagaland State Lottery, and for adults only.
Try it the safe way — free, with play money. The Wingo demo runs real 1-minute rounds with no deposit, our instant Wingo lottery guide explains the mechanics, and the 1-minute rounds page covers pacing so fast play stays within budget.

A Responsible-Gaming Reminder
The Nagaland State Lottery and online prediction games are strictly 18+ and are entertainment, not a source of income. Three draws a day can tempt over-play, so set a firm budget, never chase a loss into the next draw, and read our responsible gaming guide if play stops feeling fun.

Claim by submitting the original winning ticket with valid ID within the official deadline (commonly around 30 days from the draw). Smaller prizes may be paid via authorised agents; larger prizes go through the directorate. A genuine lottery never asks for an advance “release fee” — that is always a scam.
