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
Though banned, lottery demand remains, especially around Diwali and Ugadi (Kannada New Year).
In tech hubs like Bengaluru’s IT parks, office pools often use online platforms instead of physical tickets.
For many families, checking Nagaland or Kerala results online is still part of festive excitement.
Banned Locally, Active Nationally
Karnataka has no state lottery, but its people are far from excluded. From cross-border trips to Kerala and Goa, to digital platforms like India Lotto, Karnataka players remain active in India’s broader lottery network.
