2026 Draw Suspension Days
(Nagaland & Kerala)
If you’re planning to purchase cross-state tickets for the “Dear” series (e.g., Nagaland or Kerala), be aware of the following blackout dates to avoid being unable to buy tickets or participate in draws!
Cultural Context
During Diwali, Durga Puja, and Chhath Puja, interest in lottery results rises noticeably.
Even without physical tickets, people actively discuss winning numbers and jackpots.
In mining towns and industrial areas, lottery talk is often part of casual evening conversations.
In Jharkhand, lottery exists quietly — as interest, not infrastructure.
Banned Locally, Followed Daily
Jharkhand may not allow lottery ticket sales, but public interest remains strong.
Instead of physical stalls, participation shifted to cross-border buying and trusted digital platforms like India Lotto.
For many residents, this is now the safest and most convenient way to stay connected to India’s lottery scene.
