The short answer. The Lottery Sambad 1 PM result is drawn at 1:00 PM India
Standard Time every day of the year and is published by the Nagaland State Lottery in Kohima.
The headline result is one first-prize ticket: a series code plus a five-digit number. The
full sheet, carrying the consolation and the second to fifth prize tiers, is a separate
document and often reaches the public the following day.
Of the three daily draws, the 1 PM is the one people check in the middle of a working day,
usually on a phone, usually in a hurry. That is exactly when a half-remembered number and a
sheet from the wrong slot do the most damage. This guide covers the 1 PM slot on its own: the
clock, the state lottery behind it, what its sheet contains, and how to pull up a 1 PM result
from last week without hunting for it.
What time is the Lottery Sambad 1 PM result?
The three daily draws, with the latest first prize we hold for each
One o’clock in the afternoon, India Standard Time, every single day. India does not move
its clocks, so the hour never shifts for summer and there is no separate Sunday or holiday
timetable. For readers following from the Gulf, 1 PM IST is 11:30 AM in the UAE and Oman, and
12:30 PM in Pakistan. Our guide to
Lottery Sambad result times converts all three
slots for the countries where most of these readers live.
Being first in the day has one practical effect worth knowing. The 1 PM sheet is the earliest
document of the day and it goes through the same manual preparation as the other two, so a
search at 1:05 PM will almost never find a completed sheet. The ticket number travels faster
than the document does.
Who runs the 1 PM draw, and why does that matter?
The Nagaland State Lottery, in Kohima, runs the 1 PM slot. It also runs the 8 PM slot. The
6 PM draw between them belongs to the Sikkim State Lottery in Gangtok. Three draws, two state
lotteries, and the difference is printed at the top of every sheet.
So the header is not decoration: it is your first check. If the document in front of you names
a different state lottery from the one that ran your draw, you are comparing your ticket
against the wrong result, and no amount of careful digit-matching will fix that. Our guide to
who actually runs Dear Lottery sets out the split in
full.
The newest 1 PM result sheet in our archive. The header names the state lottery, the draw name carries the weekday, and the single first-prize ticket sits above the lower tiers.
Every 1 PM sheet carries the same blocks in the same order, which is what makes it quick to
read once you have done it twice. Three of those blocks do most of the work.
The first-prize line
One ticket, printed in full: the series code, then the five-digit number. Nothing else in the
draw beats it, and there is only ever one of it on a sheet.
The consolation line
Sitting with the first prize, this covers the same five digits sold in a different series. If
your number is an exact match but your series code is not, the consolation line is the one to
read, not the first-prize line.
The ending blocks
Below the ten second-prize numbers, the sheet stops printing whole tickets and prints
endings: the last four digits only. Series codes and leading digits stop mattering there
entirely.
For the document part by part, including the draw number and the date format, read
how to read a Lottery Sambad result
sheet. Here it is enough to know that the sheet is the authority and a circulating number
is not.
An earlier 1 PM sheet from the same archive. The layout is identical; the draw name, the draw number and every ticket on it are different, because one draw says nothing about the next.
How do I check a 1 PM ticket?
Work in this order and the whole thing takes under a minute:
Read the slot and the date on your own ticket first, before you open anything.
Open the 1 PM result page and find the sheet for
that exact date.
Check that the header names the state lottery that ran your draw, and that the weekday
inside the draw name matches the date.
Compare the first-prize line in full, series code included.
If the five digits match but the series does not, read the consolation line.
Then take your last four digits down through the second, third, fourth and fifth prize
blocks, remembering that the lower blocks print endings rather than whole numbers.
The sequence is the same for every slot, and our
step-by-step ticket checking guide goes
through each tier in more detail, with the mistakes that cost people a valid lower prize.
Where are older 1 PM results kept?
Three places, depending on how far back you need to go. The
1 PM page holds the last ten sheets for this slot, so
last week is a scroll away. Each individual day also has its own page, showing all three draws
together with their sheets.
As an example, the day page for 1 November 2026 carries that date’s 1 PM draw alongside its 6 PM and 8 PM draws.
For anything older, a monthly page puts
every stored draw day of one month on a single screen, which is the quickest way to work
through a ticket you found weeks later. The guide to
using the monthly chart explains what the
dashes in it mean, and
finding an old result by date covers how
long the official sheets stay available.

What if today’s 1 PM result is not showing?
Nothing has gone wrong and the draw has not been cancelled. Check the clock first: the
afternoon draw has to happen before anything can be published, and the document that follows it
is typed and uploaded by hand. We put a draw up here only once its sheet has been checked for
one first-prize ticket, the right date and the right weekday, which is a deliberate delay
rather than a technical one. Until then the page says the sheet is being prepared instead of
showing an empty space.
Treat screenshots on messaging groups with suspicion in the meantime. A photograph of a sheet
carries no date you can rely on, it may be a different slot, and it can be edited. If you plan
to act on a result, act on the sheet for the right slot and the right date. How every result
here is confirmed before it goes up is set out in
how we collect and verify results.
The newest 6 PM sheet, for comparison. The same shape of document with a different state lottery in the header, which is the check worth making before you compare a single digit.
We do not run this draw. This is an independent results archive. We do not sell
tickets, we have no connection to the Nagaland or Sikkim state lotteries or to any
distributor, and we cannot confirm, claim or pay a prize. Dear Lottery and Lottery Sambad
tickets are sold only where state law allows state lotteries, and the rules depend on where
you are, so ask the official operator. Always confirm a winning ticket against the official
sheet.

Every sheet is archived here as an image, with the first-prize ticket beside it.
The draw takes place at 1:00 PM India Standard Time every day of the year, including Sundays and public holidays. The first-prize ticket becomes known shortly afterwards. The full official sheet, which lists every prize tier, is prepared separately and is often uploaded the next day.
The 1 PM slot is run by the Nagaland State Lottery, based in Kohima. The same state lottery runs the 8 PM draw. The 6 PM draw in between is run by the Sikkim State Lottery in Gangtok, so its sheet carries a different header.
It is a single ticket, printed as a series code of two digits and a letter followed by a five-digit number. Only that exact combination takes the first prize. The same five digits in any other series take the consolation prize instead.
Yes. The 1 PM draw runs every day of the week. Only the marketing name printed on the sheet changes from day to day, and it carries the weekday inside it, so a Sunday sheet reads as a Sunday draw.
The 1 PM result page on this site keeps the last ten sheets for that slot, each one an image of the document itself. Older draws have their own dated pages, and a whole month of all three slots can be read on a single monthly page.
