Jaipur’s Festival Season Without Tickets

Every Diwali in Jaipur, you’ll see colorful lamps, sweets, and crowds — but one thing you won’t find are legal lottery stalls. Rajasthan banned all lotteries years ago, yet thousands of people still follow the results of Nagaland’s Dear Lottery and Kerala’s Bumper draws online.
Ramesh, a shop owner in Pink City, says he hasn’t bought a physical ticket in years —
“Now I just use online platforms like India Lotto. It’s easier and still lets me play safely.”
This is the reality for many in Rajasthan: lottery is banned, but participation never stopped.

Want to play lottery in Rajasthan even though there’s no official one?
Try India Lotto — a trusted platform that lets UP players join legal lotteries from other states, check results instantly, and claim prizes without leaving home.

Cultural Context

Rajasthan has strong festival traditions (Diwali, Gangaur, Teej), and many people associate festivals with “trying their luck.”

Even without legal local lotteries, many residents participate online during festival seasons.

In Jaipur and Udaipur tea shops, people still discuss Dear Lottery results every evening.

Lottery may be banned, but culturally, it never disappeared.

A State With No Lottery, But Many Players

Rajasthan’s legal ban hasn’t stopped people from joining lotteries. Instead, participation shifted toward cross-border buying and safe digital platforms like India Lotto.

The desire for a small moment of luck — especially during Rajasthan’s rich festival seasons — keeps the state quietly connected to India’s lottery culture.
