How to Read the Lottery Result Chart: A Complete Guide

What the Result Chart Is

Every lottery player knows the daily ritual: the draw happens, you check your number, and by the next morning the result is forgotten. But winning numbers leave a trail. The Lottery Result Chart on this site collects that trail in one place — the first-prize winning number of every major draw for the last 30 days, arranged the way players actually look for them: Nagaland's three daily draws side by side, Kerala's daily lottery with its draw name, and Sikkim's two evening draws, all on a single page.

This guide explains how to read that chart properly. It sounds simple — and the chart itself is simple — but there is a right way and a wrong way to use thirty days of winning numbers. Read it the right way and the chart becomes the fastest checking tool you own: one glance tells you whether a number you played, a number you are thinking of playing, or a number a shopkeeper is praising has actually been winning. Read it the wrong way and the same chart will sell you patterns that do not exist. Both halves matter, so this guide covers both.

What the Chart Shows, State by State

The chart has three sections, one for each state whose results this site tracks.

Nagaland takes the largest table, because Nagaland runs three draws a day. Each row is one date; the three columns are the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM Dear draws. That gives you ninety first-prize numbers in a single grid — a full month of jackpots you can scan in seconds. Every number in the grid is a link: tap it and you land on that draw's full result page with every prize tier, not just the first prize.

Kerala runs one draw a day, but a different named lottery each weekday, so the Kerala section lists the date, the lottery's name (Samrudhi, Bhagyathara, Sthree Sakthi and the rest), and its first-prize number. The name matters as much as the number: a Kerala ticket is only valid for its own named draw, and the chart keeps the names attached so you never compare your number against the wrong day's lottery.

Sikkim closes the page with its two daily draws — the Labhlaxmi draw in the afternoon and the Dear 6 PM draw in the evening, which Sikkim conducts alongside the shared evening draw. Again, every entry links through to the full result.

Two things the chart deliberately does not show: lower prize tiers and ticket series for every state in the grid. The first-prize number is what most players scan for, and keeping the chart to that one number per draw is what makes a month of results readable on a phone screen. The full tier lists live one tap away on each draw page.

The Anatomy of a Winning Number

Before reading the chart, it helps to know what a winning "number" actually consists of, because it is not the same in every state.

Nagaland Dear tickets carry a series — printed as a number and a letter, such as 74L — followed by a five-digit number. The first prize is won only when both the series and the full number match. The same number in a different series wins the ₹1,000 consolation instead. So when the chart shows a Nagaland first-prize entry, the series shown with it is part of the prize, not decoration.

Kerala tickets use a two-letter series (such as DM) followed by a six-digit number. The winning entry in the chart, for example "DM 669350", is that complete combination. Kerala's lower tiers work differently — most are decided on the last four digits alone — which is why the chart is a first-prize tool for Kerala and the full result page does the rest.

Sikkim Dear tickets use a series like 92H with a five-digit number, while Labhlaxmi results are drawn on the last four digits with many winning numbers per draw — the chart shows the headline number and the draw page carries the full list.

If series and matching rules are new to you, our guide to how ticket series work explains them with examples before you go any further.

Reading the Nagaland Grid: Across and Down

There are two natural ways to read the Nagaland table, and each answers a different question.

Reading across a row answers "what happened on this day?" Pick the date you played, read the three cells, and you have that day's three jackpots. This is the checking use: you bought a ticket for Tuesday's 8 PM draw, so you find Tuesday's row and read the third column. If your full number and series are not there, the ticket did not win the first prize — check the draw page for the lower tiers before throwing it away, because the 2nd prize pays ₹10,000 and the last-four-digits tiers pay ₹500, ₹250 and ₹120 to thousands of tickets.

Reading down a column answers "what has this draw been doing lately?" The 1 PM column is thirty days of 1 PM jackpots, one under another. Players read down a column to look at recent endings — which final digits have appeared, whether a particular number has come up, how the month has flowed. That is a legitimate use of history. It becomes a mistake only when the column is treated as a forecast, which the patterns section below deals with honestly.

A practical tip for phone users: the chart is built for vertical scrolling, and the dates run newest first, so the draws you are most likely checking — today's and yesterday's — are always at the top of each table.

Reading the Kerala and Sikkim Sections

Kerala's section rewards a slightly different reading habit. Because the lottery changes every day, the useful scan is by name: find your lottery's name in the list, then check the dates beneath it. A Sthree Sakthi player, for instance, only ever plays Tuesdays, so the four or five Sthree Sakthi rows in the month are "their" chart. The same logic applies to agents and regulars who specialise in one or two weekly lotteries.

For Sikkim, the two draws sit side by side, and the common use is an evening check: both the Labhlaxmi and Dear 6 PM numbers for the day in one look, with the full lists one tap away. Note that Sikkim's Dear 6 PM is the same draw that appears in Nagaland's 6 PM column — the chart keeps it in both places because players in both states buy it, and the number is, of course, identical.

A Worked Example: Checking a Week-Old Ticket

Suppose you find an unchecked Nagaland ticket in a drawer, bought for last Thursday's 6 PM draw, series 58K, number 42107. Here is the chart routine:

Step 1. Open the result chart and find last Thursday's row in the Nagaland table. Step 2. Read the 6 PM column. If it shows 58K 42107, the ticket holds the first prize — stop, sign the back of the ticket, and go straight to the claim process. Step 3. If the number matches but the series differs — say the chart shows 90A 42107 — the ticket wins the ₹1,000 consolation. Step 4. If neither matches, tap the number to open that draw's full page and check the 2nd prize list (ten full numbers) and then the last-four-digits lists: if your number ends in the drawn four digits, you have won ₹500, ₹250 or ₹120 depending on the tier. Step 5. If the ticket is older than the chart's thirty days, use the date archive instead — it holds every draw going back months.

The same routine works for Kerala with one change: match the lottery name first, then the series and number. Five minutes, no guesswork, and no ticket thrown away unchecked — which, as our prize-tiers research shows, is where most small winnings are lost.

Using the Chart Together With Number History

The chart shows you what won. The companion tool, Number History, starts from the other end: type any number and it searches our records for every appearance of that number across all three states — first prizes, lower tiers, recent draws and older ones — and reports how many times it has won and how much it has paid in total.

The two tools pair naturally. Use the chart for the daily and weekly scan: what is winning, in which draw, on which days. Use Number History when a specific number is on your mind — a number you play regularly, a number on a ticket you are about to buy, or a number a tipster is pushing. The chart tells you the month's story at a glance; Number History gives one number's full biography. Neither one predicts the future, and both are honest about that — but together they replace superstition with records, which is the only edge a player can actually have.

Patterns People Look For — and the Honest Truth

Spend time around any lottery counter and you will hear the chart vocabulary: hot numbers that have appeared repeatedly this month, cold numbers that are "due" because they have not appeared, repeat numbers that won twice, ending patterns — months where a final digit like 5 or 0 seems to dominate.

Here is what our own records actually support. Repeats do happen: in our analysis of Nagaland first-prize numbers, the same full number has won more than once within a few hundred draws — not because the draw remembers, but because with ninety jackpots a month, coincidences are guaranteed by arithmetic. Endings also bunch up in any given month: one digit will always lead the table and another will always trail, in every month, forever, purely by chance. Our winning numbers analysis and the study of number endings show these tables in full.

And here is the part that matters: every draw is independent. The machine that draws today's 6 PM number has no memory of the chart. A number that won yesterday has exactly the same chance today as a number that has never won. A "due" number is not due; a "hot" number is not hot. The chart is a record, not a signal. Players who enjoy patterns can enjoy them as entertainment — many do — but spending more because a pattern "looks strong" is paying extra for the same odds. Our article on lottery myths dismantles the five most expensive of these beliefs with data.

Five Mistakes to Avoid When Using the Chart

1. Checking only the first prize. The chart is a first-prize view. Most winning tickets win small tiers decided by the last four digits. Always finish the check on the full draw page.

2. Ignoring the series. For Nagaland and Sikkim, the number without its series is half a check. The same number in another series is a consolation, not a jackpot.

3. Mixing up the day's draws. A 1 PM number does nothing for an 8 PM ticket. Rows are dates; columns are draws. Check the cell where your date and your draw meet.

4. Comparing across lottery names in Kerala. Monday's Bhagyathara number is irrelevant to a Tuesday Sthree Sakthi ticket, even on the same week row of your notebook.

5. Treating last month as next month's forecast. Covered above, and worth repeating because it is the mistake that costs the most money: history describes the draws that happened. It says nothing about the draw that is coming.

What the Chart Cannot Do

Honesty about limits is part of this site's job, so: the chart covers the last thirty days and first prizes only. For anything older, the archive holds dated draw pages going back months. For anything beyond the first prize, each draw page lists every tier. And for the legally final word on any result, the official gazette PDF — linked from every draw page — outranks this chart, this site, and every other website. If a number here and the PDF ever disagreed, the PDF would be right; that is exactly why we link it on every page.
