We all love the daily 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM lottery draws with their ₹1 Crore prizes. But did you know there is something even bigger?
During major Indian festivals like Diwali, Durga Puja, and New Year, the Nagaland State Lottery launches special "Bumper Draws." These are massive events with prize money going up to ₹5 Crore!
In this guide, we will explain exactly how bumper lotteries work, when they happen, and how much you can win.
Huge Jackpots!
While regular daily tickets cost ₹6, Bumper tickets cost between ₹50 to ₹500. Because the ticket price is higher, the 1st Prize is usually between ₹2.5 Crore and ₹5 Crore.
1. What is a Bumper Draw?
A Bumper Draw is a special lottery event held only a few times a year. Unlike the daily draws (like Dear Dwarka or Dear Indus), bumper draws are held on one specific date announced weeks in advance.
- Special Names: They have unique names like "Dear Diwali Bumper" or "Dear New Year Bumper".
- Higher Ticket Price: Regular tickets are ₹6, but bumper tickets cost more (₹50 to ₹500 depending on the festival).
- Massive Prize Pool: All the money from ticket sales goes into a giant pool, making the prizes much bigger.
2. Major Festive Bumper Draws
The government runs special bumper lotteries during major festivals throughout the year:
Dear Diwali Bumper
Held in October or November, this is the biggest and most popular bumper draw of the year. People start buying tickets weeks in advance.
Dear Durga Puja Bumper
Held during the Navratri and Durga Puja celebrations, especially popular in West Bengal and Eastern India.
Dear New Year Bumper
Held at the start of the year (around January 1st), giving people a chance to start the new year as a crorepati!
3. How Much Can You Win?
Because bumper tickets cost more, the prize money is distributed in much higher tiers:
4. Claiming Prizes & Taxes
Winning a bumper prize follows the same rules as normal lottery wins:
- 30% Tax Cut: Just like regular draws, if you win more than ₹10,000, the government will deduct 30% TDS (tax) before giving you the money.
- Submit in 30 Days: You must take your original ticket, PAN card, and Aadhar card to the official lottery office within 30 days of the result.
