How Do I Check My Ticket Against the December 2026 Results?
Checking your ticket is a straightforward process, but accuracy is key. Follow these steps to verify your numbers.

Step 2: Locate the Correct Result PDF. On this page, find the result section for December 2026. Look for the PDF link that matches your ticket’s draw date and time. Download and open the file.

What Are the Prize Tiers for Lottery Sambad Draws?
Lottery Sambad prize structures are not uniform; they can vary between different draw schemes (like “Dear Lottery,” “Bhagyalaxmi,” etc.) and can even change month to month. The official result PDF is the definitive source for the prize tiers applicable to that specific draw.
Typically, results list winning numbers for several prize categories. A common structure might include:
- First Prize: Awarded for matching all digits in exact order.
- Second & Third Prizes: Often for matching the last or first series of digits.
- Consolation Prizes: For numbers close to the winning combination.
- Other Tiers: Such as fourth, fifth, and sixth prizes for matching specific digit sequences.
Important: The exact prize money for each tier is always listed in the official result PDF. Never rely on general estimates from other sources.
What Should I Do If I Win a Prize in December 2026?
If your numbers match, stay calm and secure your ticket. The claim process requires specific documents and has a strict deadline.
Secure Your Ticket: Your original, physical ticket is the only proof of your win. Do not laminate it, but keep it safe from damage, moisture, and direct sunlight. Sign the back of the ticket only if instructed on the claim form.
Gather Required Documents: You will typically need:
- The original winning ticket.
- A completed prize claim form (available from lottery agents or the department).
- Government photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN card, Passport, or Voter ID).
- Passport-size photographs.
- Proof of bank account details (cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy).
Submit Your Claim: Claims must be submitted to the respective state lottery directorate (e.g., Nagaland, Sikkim, West Bengal) as per the jurisdiction of your draw, usually within 30 to 90 days from the draw date. Check the specific deadline on the official result PDF.
Are Lottery Winnings Taxed in India?
Yes, lottery winnings are subject to tax deducted at source (TDS). According to the Indian Income Tax Act, Section 194B, any lottery prize exceeding Rs 10,000 attracts a flat TDS rate of 30%.
This 30% is deducted before your prize money is handed over. Additionally, a surcharge and health & education cess are applied to this 30%, making the total deduction slightly higher.
The lottery operator or bank processing your claim will handle this deduction automatically. You will receive the net amount after tax. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional regarding the inclusion of this income in your annual tax return.
What Are the Standard Lottery Sambad Draw Times?
Lottery Sambad traditionally holds three draws every day, though schedules can be updated. The standard times have been:
- Morning Draw: Results typically published around 11:55 AM.
- Day Draw: Results typically published around 4:00 PM.
- Evening Draw: Results typically published around 8:00 PM.

The result PDFs we publish will clearly state which state lottery (e.g., ‘Nagaland State Lottery’) the result belongs to. Always match your ticket to the correct state’s result.
Do I need to be present in the state to claim my prize?
Not necessarily. While claims are processed by the respective state lottery directorate, winners can often authorise a representative or use postal/courier services for submission, as per the rules outlined on the claim form. However, for very large prizes, in-person verification might be required.
What if I lose my winning ticket?
The original physical ticket is mandatory. Lottery authorities almost never honour claims without it, as it is the sole proof of purchase and ownership. There is generally no duplicate issued. Keeping your ticket safe is the single most important step after checking the results.
