The short answer. A monthly chart puts every draw day of one month on a single
page, with the first-prize ticket for each of the three daily Lottery Sambad draws beside its
date. It is the fastest way to check a ticket you found later, because you scan one page for the
date instead of opening thirty of them.

Each row of a chart is one calendar day. The three middle columns hold the first-prize ticket for
the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM draws of that day: a series code and a five-digit number, exactly as the
official sheet prints them, with the day's marketing name underneath. The last column tells you
whether we hold the sheet image for that date.
What a chart deliberately does not hold is the lower tiers. A single day's sheet carries the
consolation prize, ten second-prize numbers, and rows of four-digit endings running to a hundred
entries; thirty days of that on one page would be unreadable and unusable on a phone. So the chart
answers "what won on the 14th" and the date page answers "did my ending win anything".

Checking an old ticket, step by step
- Read the date off the ticket first. Every Lottery Sambad draw is filed under
its Indian calendar date. The date on the ticket is the only reliable way in, because the
marketing name on it repeats across weeks.
- Open that month's chart. Find the row for your date. If the row is missing
entirely, we hold no verified sheet for that day at all.
- Check the slot, not just the day. Three draws happen every day. A 6 PM ticket
checked against the 8 PM column will never match, and that single mistake accounts for most
"my number was there but I did not win" messages.
- Compare the series and the number together. The first prize is one ticket: the
five digits AND the series code have to agree. The same five digits in another series is the
consolation prize, which is a different prize with a different value.
- For anything below first prize, open the date. The four-digit endings that pay
the lower tiers are on the sheet itself, which the date link opens.
- Confirm against the official sheet before acting. We are an archive. A claim
is settled on the official document for that exact date and slot.
Our step-by-step guide to checking a Lottery
Sambad ticket goes through the tiers in more detail, and
how to read a result sheet walks the
sheet from top to bottom.
Why a month can have gaps
The sheet arrives after the draw
The official result sheet is prepared and uploaded by hand, and it often appears the day after
the draw. A chart built at the end of a month will normally be complete; a chart read during the
month can be missing yesterday.
We publish only what we can verify
A sheet goes up here only when it names exactly one first-prize ticket and prints both the draw
date and the matching weekday. Anything that disagrees is refused and recorded rather than
published, which is occasionally the reason a cell stays empty.
A dash is never a zero
It means "not held here", nothing more. Treating a missing figure as a result is how wrong
numbers spread, so the chart says dash and this guide says why.
Chart, daily page or slot page: which to open
There are three ways into the same archive, and each answers a different question. Picking the
right one saves more time than any amount of scrolling.
- The monthly chart when you have a date in mind and want to see it in context,
or several tickets from the same month to work through in one pass.
- The date page when you need the full sheet for one day: the consolation prize,
the second-prize numbers and every four-digit ending.
- The slot page when you follow one draw and want its last ten sheets in order,
which is the shape people watching a single slot actually want.
A phone makes the distinction sharper than a desktop does. The chart is a wide table, so on a
narrow screen each row stacks into a small block per day, which is fine for scanning dates and
poor for reading a hundred endings. That is another reason the endings live on the date page.
What the marketing name is good for
The name printed on a Lottery Sambad sheet changes every single day, and the chart shows it under
each ticket for one practical reason: it is the fastest cross-check that you are reading the right
row. If your ticket says one name and the row says another, you are looking at a different draw,
even when the date looks right, and the answer is usually that the ticket belongs to a different
slot on the same day. What the name is not good for is searching. Names repeat across weeks and
months, so a search by name returns a pile of dates and a search by date returns exactly one row.
Our guide to why the names change every day shows
a week of real ones from the stored sheets.
The months on the site right now
New months appear on their own as the archive grows, and a month with nothing stored in it has no
page at all rather than an empty one. If you are looking for a date older than our archive, the
official sheet for it is the place to go: the state lotteries keep their own uploads for about a
month, so a very old date may exist nowhere online and only on the paper ticket you are holding.
We are an independent archive. We do not sell tickets, we are not connected to any state
lottery or distributor, and we cannot process a claim. Play within your means and treat any result
here as a reference to be confirmed, not as proof of a win.
