Step-by-Step Ticket Verification Process

1. Step 1: Identify Your Draw Time
   Look at your ticket carefully. The draw time (1PM/6PM/8PM) is clearly printed on every Dear Lottery ticket. Make sure you're checking the result for the correct draw time as each draw has different winning numbers. Common mistake: Participants sometimes check the wrong draw time and miss their actual win.
2. Step 2: Locate the Specific 24 Tarik Date
   Use the date navigation grid below to find results for the exact 24th you played. Remember that 24 Tarik occurs 11 times in 2025, so make sure you're checking the correct month. The date is printed on your ticket.
3. Step 3: Navigate to Your Result Section
   Click on the appropriate section (1PM/6PM/8PM) above to view your specific draw result. You can also use the quick ticket search tool to jump directly to your section by entering your ticket details.
4. Step 4: Understand Ticket Number Format
   Dear Lottery tickets have a specific format: Series (usually 1-2 letters) + 6-digit number. For example: "A 123456" or "AB 789012". Note both the series and the number as both are importantfor prize verification.
5. Step 5: Match Your Complete Ticket Number
   Compare your full 6-digit ticket number with the displayed winning numbers in the result image. Check systematically: First Prize, 2nd Prize, 3rd Prize, 4th Prize, 5th Prize, and Consolation Prize. Don't skip any category - even smaller prizes are worth claiming!
6. Step 6: Verify Prize Category and Amount
   Once you find a match, carefully note which prize category your number falls into. Each category has a specific prize amount (detailed in the prize structure table below). Make sure you understand the exact amount you've won.
7. Step 7: Cross-Verify from Multiple Sources
   Always verify your win from at least 2-3 sources: this page, the official Nagaland State Lottery website, and authorized lottery retailers. This triple-verification prevents errors and gives you confidence before claiming.
8. Step 8: Download Official PDF Proof
   Click the "Download PDF" button to save the official result document. This PDF serves as verification proof when you visit the lottery office to claim your prize. Keep both digital and printed copies.
