The short answer. The Lottery Sambad 6 PM result is drawn at 6:00 PM India
Standard Time every day and is the only one of the three daily draws run by the Sikkim State
Lottery in Gangtok. Its result sheet names Sikkim in the header, prints one first-prize
ticket with a series code, and reaches the public separately from the draw itself, often the
next day.
The 6 PM draw sits in an awkward place. It is sandwiched between two Nagaland draws, it is run
by a different state lottery from both of them, and it falls at the hour when most people are
travelling home and checking a phone in a crowd. Nearly every mistake we see on this slot comes
from reading a sheet that belongs to a different draw. This guide is about avoiding that.
What time is the Lottery Sambad 6 PM result?
The 6 PM draw in context, with the latest first prize for each slot
Six in the evening, India Standard Time, every day of the year. Nothing about that time moves:
no summer change, no Sunday timetable, no holiday timetable. In the Gulf, where a large number
of the people following this draw live, 6 PM IST falls at 4:30 PM in the UAE and Oman and at
5:30 PM in Pakistan. The full conversion for all three slots is in our guide to
Lottery Sambad result times.
The Sikkim State Lottery, from Gangtok. That single fact explains most of what follows in this
guide, because the 1 PM and 8 PM draws on either side of it belong to the Nagaland State
Lottery in Kohima. Two state lotteries, three slots, and the 6 PM is Sikkim’s.
Nothing about the game changes because of it. The ticket has the same shape, the tiers have the
same shape, and the sheet is laid out the same way. What changes is which document is the right
one for your ticket, and which operator you would be asking about a claim. The division between
the two states is covered properly in
who actually runs Dear Lottery.
It also decides who you would be dealing with beyond the result itself. Anything to do with
buying, with eligibility or with a claim on a 6 PM ticket belongs to Sikkim’s state
lottery, not to Nagaland’s and certainly not to a results page. We can show you the
document; only the operator can act on it. That is worth knowing before a messaging group
points you at somebody promising to collect a prize on your behalf.
The newest 6 PM result sheet in our archive. The header is the quickest way to confirm you have a Sikkim draw and not one of the two Nagaland draws.
How do I tell a 6 PM sheet from an 8 PM sheet?
By reading the top of the document before anything else. Three markers up there settle it, and
none of them involves comparing a number.
The state lottery
A 6 PM sheet names the Sikkim State Lottery. If the header names Nagaland, you are holding
the 1 PM or the 8 PM document, whatever the numbers underneath happen to look like.
The printed draw time
The sheet states the draw time it belongs to. It is a short line and easy to skip past,
which is precisely why it is worth reading twice when two slots run the same evening.
The draw name and number
Each draw carries its own name, with the weekday inside it, and its own draw number. Two
draws on the same evening never share them, so a matching date alone proves nothing.
Put the two documents next to each other once and the difference becomes obvious for good:
The newest 8 PM sheet. Same evening, same layout, different state lottery and a different draw name, which is why an 8 PM sheet can never settle a 6 PM ticket.
How do I check a 6 PM ticket without mixing up the slots?
Read your ticket and note the draw time printed on it, not the time you bought it.
Open the 6 PM result page, which holds only
Sikkim’s evening draws, so a wrong-slot sheet cannot appear on it.
Find the sheet for your exact date and confirm the weekday inside the draw name is the day
that date fell on.
Compare the first-prize line in full, series code and all five digits, then the
consolation line if only your series differs.
Take your last four digits through the second, third, fourth and fifth prize blocks.
Using the slot page rather than the daily hub is the whole trick here. The
daily hub is built to answer “what happened
today” across all three draws; the slot page answers “what happened in this
draw” and keeps its last ten sheets together. For a slower walk through the tiers, the
ticket checking guide covers each one.
An earlier 6 PM sheet. Reading two of them back to back is the fastest way to learn where each block sits on the page.
Where do older 6 PM results live?
The 6 PM page keeps the last ten sheets for this slot.
Behind it, every date we hold has its own page carrying all three of that day’s draws, and
each month has a single page listing every stored draw day.
The day page for 1 November 2026, for instance, shows that evening’s Sikkim draw next to the two Nagaland draws from the same day.
If the ticket in your hand is weeks old, start with a
monthly page instead of clicking through
dates one at a time; the guide to
reading the monthly chart explains how it is
laid out and why some cells carry a dash.
A third archived 6 PM sheet. Every sheet we publish is stored as an image of the document rather than retyped, so nothing can be lost in transcription.
What if the 6 PM result has not appeared?
Give it time, and check the date you are actually looking at. These sheets are prepared by hand
and uploaded as files, and the official upload frequently lands the day after the draw. A 6 PM
page still showing yesterday’s draw at nine in the evening is behaving normally, not
failing.
One more thing catches people following from outside India: the date a draw is filed under is
always the Indian calendar date. For the Gulf and the rest of South Asia that never causes a
problem, because 6 PM in India is still the same afternoon or evening everywhere in that band.
Further west it can matter, and the rule to fall back on is simple enough: search the Indian
date printed on the ticket, not the date showing on your own phone.
What will not help is reading anything into the pattern of the delays, or into the numbers that
came up. Each draw is independent of every draw before it, which is the one thing worth
remembering before anyone sells you a prediction. The checks we run on a sheet before it is
published here are described in
how we collect and verify results.
Independent archive, not the operator. We do not run the 6 PM draw, we do not sell
tickets, and we have no connection to the Sikkim or Nagaland state lotteries or to any
distributor. We cannot confirm or pay a prize. Lottery Sambad and Dear Lottery tickets are
sold only where state law allows state lotteries, and what applies to you depends on where you
are, so put claim and eligibility questions to the official operator.

The 6 PM draw takes place at 6:00 PM India Standard Time every day of the year. The first-prize ticket is known soon after the draw, and the complete sheet listing every tier is uploaded separately, often the next day.
The Sikkim State Lottery, based in Gangtok, runs the 6 PM slot. It is the only one of the three daily draws that Sikkim runs. The 1 PM and 8 PM draws both belong to the Nagaland State Lottery in Kohima.
Look at the header rather than the numbers. A 6 PM sheet names the Sikkim State Lottery and carries the 6 PM draw time; an 8 PM sheet names the Nagaland State Lottery. The draw name and draw number differ too, since they are separate draws.
The tiers have the same shape in every slot: one first-prize ticket with a series code, a consolation prize for the same number in other series, ten second-prize numbers, then third, fourth and fifth prize endings. What is paid is set by the operator.
Because a draw appears here only after its sheet has been checked. Before the day's 6 PM sheet is published and verified, the page shows the most recent 6 PM draw it already holds, which is the previous day rather than a blank space.
