The Nagaland State Lottery department will conduct two separate draws today, April 19, 2026. The afternoon session features the Dear Wish series at 1 PM, while the evening session brings the Dear Magic series at 8 PM. Both draws offer a first prize of Rs 1 crore, and participants holding tickets for either series can check their numbers once the official results appear on government-authorized platforms.
Draw Schedule for April 19
Today’s lottery events follow the standard daily schedule that Nagaland maintains throughout the year. Each draw operates independently, with its own set of winning numbers and prize distribution.
1:00 PM: Dear Wish (₹1 Crore)
8:00 PM: Dear Magic (₹1 Crore)
Both draws take place at the designated lottery venue in Kohima under government supervision. The results for each draw will be published separately after the respective draw completes.

How to Check Both Draw Results
Participants need to verify their tickets against the correct draw results. Mixing up the afternoon and evening results is a common error.
Steps for proper verification:
Wait for the official announcement time for each draw
Visit the Nagaland State Lottery official website
Locate the PDF file labeled Dear Wish for 1 PM result
Locate the PDF file labeled Dear Magic for 8 PM result
Download the respective file for your ticket series
Search for the full ticket number, not just the last digits
The afternoon result will appear first, typically around 1:10 PM. The evening result follows, usually available by 8:10 PM. Participants should check only one draw at a time to avoid confusion.
Claim Process for Winners
Winners from either draw must follow the same claim procedure. The process depends on the prize amount won.
For prize amounts under Rs 10,000:
The ticket holder can visit any licensed lottery retailer. The retailer will verify the number against the official result and hand over the cash immediately. No forms or identification are required for these smaller amounts.
For prize amounts of Rs 10,000 or above:
The winner must submit a formal claim to the Nagaland State Lottery office. The required items include:
Original ticket in perfect condition with signature on the back
Valid government identification such as Aadhaar or PAN card
Two recent passport-size photographs
Bank account details with a cancelled cheque
Completed claim form available from the lottery department
The claim must reach the lottery office within thirty days from April 19. Late claims will not be accepted regardless of the reason.
The Nagaland State Lottery never contacts winners directly. Any such communication is fraudulent. Winners must check their tickets themselves and come forward to claim through the official process.
