Jaipur’s Festival Season Without Tickets
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.

Online Lotteries
- Rajasthan does not offer a state-approved online system.

Despite the ban, participation remains high — just in different ways.
Cross-Border Purchases
- People from Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Sri Ganganagar often buy tickets in neighboring states.

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
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.
