Risks & Tips
Avoid unverified websites or Telegram/WhatsApp groups selling tickets — many are scams.
Follow the rules of the issuing state when buying.
Keep your ticket safe — original tickets are required to claim prizes.
2025 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 and Chhath Puja, ticket demand peaks — many Biharis join Nagaland or West Bengal draws.
Lottery culture continues quietly through online participation.
For older generations, checking results has become a phone habit instead of a newspaper one.
A Silent Market That Never Stopped
Bihar officially bans lotteries, but people’s curiosity and hope remain strong. From small towns like Gaya to major cities like Patna, residents find safe, legal ways to join through platforms like India Lotto — keeping the tradition alive in a new, digital form.
