A Dear Lottery chart is a published result sheet that lists all the winning numbers and corresponding prizes for a particular lottery draw. It’s the official document you use to check if your ticket has won. This article explains everything you need to know about finding, reading, and using these charts.
What exactly is a Dear Lottery chart?
A Dear Lottery chart, often called a result chart or prize structure list, is the complete, official record of a lottery draw. It’s published by the state lottery organisers after each draw concludes. Think of it as the final scoreboard.
The chart doesn’t just show the first prize number. It displays all the winning numbers across every prize tier, from the bumper prize down to the consolation prizes. It’s the single source of truth for verifying any winning ticket.
These charts are essential because they allow anyone to independently check the results. You can cross-reference your ticket numbers against the official list without relying on third-party announcements, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Where can I find the latest Dear Lottery chart?
The most reliable place to find the latest Dear Lottery chart is right here on Lottery Sambad Website. We provide direct links to the official, downloadable PDF result files as soon as they are released by the organisers.
Here’s a simple step-by-step process to access it:
- Navigate to the Results or Dear Lottery section of this website.
- Select the specific lottery draw you’re interested in (e.g., Dear Lottery Morning, Dear Lottery Evening, Dear Lottery Night).
- Look for the date of the draw you participated in.
- Click on the link labelled “Result PDF” or “Chart.” This will download the official result file.
It’s crucial to download and check this official PDF. Some other sites might only list a few numbers, but the full chart gives you the complete picture for all prize tiers.
How do I read and check my ticket against the chart?
Once you have the official Dear Lottery chart PDF open, checking your ticket is straightforward. The chart is typically organised in a table format with clear columns.
Follow these steps:
- Locate the prize tier section (e.g., 1st Prize, 2nd Prize) on the chart.
- Find the corresponding draw time and date to ensure you have the right chart.
- Carefully compare each digit of your ticket number against the winning numbers listed under each prize category.
- Check both the full winning numbers and any consolation or matching criteria mentioned.
Remember, prizes are awarded for matching the number in the exact way described. For example, some prizes require matching the number from the beginning, some from the end, and others for matching specific digits. The chart will specify the matching criteria for each tier.
If your ticket number appears in the chart, congratulations! The next step is to understand the claim process.
What is the prize structure shown on the chart?
The prize structure on a Dear Lottery chart varies between different draws and schemes. There is no single fixed set of prizes. The chart will list all available prize tiers for that specific draw, along with the prize amount for each.
Typically, you might see categories like:
- Bumper or 1st Prize
- 2nd Prize
- 3rd Prize
- Consolation Prizes
- Lucky or Last Digit Prizes
The key point is that the exact prize amounts and the number of winners in each tier are different for every draw. You must refer to the specific chart for your draw to know the precise prize for any matching ticket. Never assume a prize amount from a previous draw.
What should I do if my ticket is a winner?
If you’ve verified your winning ticket against the official Dear Lottery chart, it’s time to plan your claim. Stay calm and follow these important steps to ensure a smooth process.
You will generally need:
- The original, physical winning ticket (do not laminate or damage it).
- A valid government photo ID (like Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Passport).
- Bank account details and a cancelled cheque.
- Passport-size photographs.
- A duly filled claim form, which can often be obtained from authorised lottery vendors or offices.
Claims usually must be submitted within 30 days from the date of the draw. It’s highly recommended to contact an authorised lottery claim agent or the state lottery office directly for the most accurate and current claim procedure, as details can vary.
Please be aware that lottery winnings in India above Rs 10,000 are subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194B at a flat rate of 30%, plus applicable surcharge and cess.

Dear Lottery results are published shortly after each draw. The draws typically occur at set times: Morning around 11:55 AM, Evening around 4:00 PM, and Night around 8:00 PM. The official chart is usually available for download within an hour or so after the draw closes.
Can I check the Dear Lottery chart without downloading a PDF?
While some websites may display the numbers in text format, the most reliable and complete method is to download the official PDF chart. This ensures you are seeing the full, unaltered result as published, including all prize tiers and exact matching criteria.
What if the last few digits of my ticket match a number on the chart?
The chart specifies the exact matching rules for each prize. Some prizes are awarded for matching the last digits, some for the first digits, and others require a full match. You must check the specific prize tier list on the chart to see if your partial match qualifies for a consolation or lucky digit prize.
How long do I have to claim a Dear Lottery prize?
The standard claim period is 30 days from the date of the draw. It is critical to initiate the claim process as soon as possible after verifying your win, as expired tickets are invalid.
Is there a difference between a Dear Lottery result and a chart?
In common usage, they refer to the same thing. The ‘result’ is the outcome of the draw, and the ‘chart’ is the official document that publishes that result in a structured, tabular format listing all winning numbers and prizes.
