Step 2 — Find the Result
Results are published on the official Nagaland State Lotteries website immediately after each draw. For evening draw results, the official gazette is usually published within 30 minutes of the draw time. Third-party result aggregator sites also publish results within minutes.
Step 3 — Match Your Numbers

- Second prize: Only the last 5 digits need to match (any series)
- Third prize: Last 4 digits
- Lower prizes: Last 2–3 digits depending on prize tier
Lottery Sambad vs Kerala State Lottery: Which Should You Check Today?
While you are here checking Lottery Sambad results, it is worth knowing about the Kerala State Lottery if you have not already played it. Today is Wednesday — which means the Akshaya (AK) lottery draw is happening at 3:00 PM. The first prize is ₹70 lakh — nearly three times higher than a standard Lottery Sambad morning draw.
You can check today’s Kerala Akshaya lottery result here. Tickets cost ₹40 each, available from authorised agents across India.
The Kerala lottery also has a fuller prize structure — 9 prize tiers including ₹100 consolation prizes — which means a higher percentage of ticket holders win something.
