All three results of the 16 date are published here. Lottery Sambad 16 tarikh covers the Nagaland State Lottery's full day — the 1:00 PM morning, 6:00 PM day and 8:00 PM night Dear Lottery draws — each with its complete prize list and free PDF. Many visitors on this page are not checking their own ticket at all: they are checking for a parent, a spouse or a neighbour who bought a 16 tarikh ticket. This guide covers that too, along with the right way to handle several tickets at once.

Checking a 16 Date Ticket for a Family Member
Plenty of tickets in India are checked by a son, daughter or grandchild on behalf of an elder who does not use a smartphone. If that is you, a few points make it safe and accurate:
- Ask for the physical ticket (or a clear photo of it) — checking from a number recited over the phone invites mistakes.
- Read out the draw name, date and session from the ticket first, then open only that PDF.
- If a prize matches, tell them to sign the back and keep the ticket safe — the claim must be made by the ticket holder with their own ID documents.
- Never post the winning ticket's photo in family WhatsApp groups before the claim — leaked ticket details have been misused before.
Bought Several 16 Tarikh Tickets? Check Them Without Missing One
- Sort the tickets by session first — 1 PM together, 6 PM together, 8 PM together. Mixed-up sessions cause missed wins more than anything else.
- Open one session's PDF and check all tickets of that session before moving to the next.
- Tick the back corner of each checked ticket with a pencil so none is checked twice or skipped.
- Keep even the non-winning tickets until the day ends — a second look after the rush often catches a lower-tier match.
Online PDF vs Retailer Counter — Two Ways to Verify
Both are valid; they simply serve different moments:
| Online PDF (this page) | Retailer Counter | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Instant after the draw | Depends on shop hours |
| Best for | Quick self-check, saving proof | Confirming a suspected win in person |
| Extra benefit | Full tier list in one document | Small prizes can be paid on the spot |
A sensible habit: check online first, and if a prize appears, verify once at an authorised counter before beginning any claim above the retailer limit.

The 16th's draws come under the Nagaland State Lotteries, government-operated since 1972 and legal in India's lottery-permitted states. The claim window runs 30 days from the 16th: prizes up to ₹10,000 through authorised retailers, larger prizes through the Directorate or state nodal office with the original signed ticket, claim form, two photos and PAN/Aadhaar. Payouts above the threshold carry 30% tax plus cess.
Sensible Play, Every Month
- One budget, decided in advance — extra tickets never "improve luck," they only raise spending.
- Politely refuse any seller offering "16 tarikh confirmed numbers"; predictions are impossible in a supervised random draw.
- Store all tickets in one fixed place at home so draw day never turns into a search operation.
- Adults only (18+), entertainment money only — never borrow to buy tickets.
FAQs – Lottery Sambad 16 Tarikh
Can I check and claim a prize on behalf of my father/mother?
You can check for them, but the claim itself is filed by the ticket holder with their own signed ticket and ID documents.
I have five 16 date tickets from different sessions — one PDF or three?
Three. Each session (1 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM) has its own separate result PDF; sort tickets by session before checking.
Can a retailer check my 16 tarikh ticket for me?
Yes — authorised retailers verify tickets and pay small prizes directly. For larger prizes they will direct you to the official claim process.
Is the 16 date result different in different states?
No. A draw has one official result everywhere; only the states where tickets may legally be sold differ.
Until when can a 16 tarikh winner claim?
30 days from the draw date — after that the prize lapses permanently.
