The anticipation surrounding the Nagaland State Lottery draws continues to bring hope to many across the country. On Thursday, April 17, 2025, the results for the DEAR MAHANADI MORNING, DEAR DANCER EVENING, and DEAR SANDPIPER NIGHT draws were officially announced at 1 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM respectively. These lotteries are part of the state’s weekly schedule and remain a source of excitement and optimism, particularly for those from humble backgrounds seeking a life-changing opportunity.
The grand first prize of ₹1 crore remains a beacon of dreams for participants, while other prizes include ₹9,000 for second place, ₹450 for third, ₹250 for fourth, ₹120 for fifth, and a ₹1,000 consolation prize. These winnings, though modest in comparison to the bumper prize, still bring moments of relief and joy to numerous households.
The lottery is legally run in Nagaland and twelve other Indian states, including West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Assam, among others. In regions where economic hardships persist, such state-run lotteries offer not just monetary incentives but a sliver of hope to millions who invest small amounts in the dream of a better future.
Each draw, like the DEAR INDUS MORNING or the DEAR CUPID EVENING from April 16, and the DEAR GODAVARI MORNING or DEAR COMET EVENING from April 15, reminds us of the quiet prayers and aspirations pinned to every ticket bought.
While it is important to recognize the dreams these lotteries fulfill, there is also a need for responsibility and caution. Lottery participation should always be pursued in moderation, without letting hope turn into dependency. As always, responsible play is advised, and it’s worth remembering that for every winner, many do not see a return.
Nevertheless, for those whose numbers came through today, the feeling is indescribable — an eruption of joy, disbelief, and overwhelming gratitude. And for others, there’s always the next draw — and with it, another chance to believe in possibility.
