Sikkim State Lottery: Labhlaxmi 4 PM, Dear 6 PM & Bumper Draws Explained

Sikkim State Lotteries is the government lottery of Sikkim, run by the Directorate of Sikkim State Lotteries in Gangtok. Two draws are published for Sikkim every day: Labhlaxmi at 4 PM and the Dear draw at 6 PM, plus seasonal bumper draws through the year. Both daily draws are paper lotteries with a different name for each day of the week, so the name printed on your ticket tells you exactly which draw it belongs to. This guide explains both draws, their prize tables, and how Sikkim's bumper draws differ from the other states.

Draws may pause on public holidays, so a missing result on a holiday is normal and not a delay.

All prize amounts below are the published scheme amounts. The official gazette is the final authority for any result.

Labhlaxmi: the Daily 4 PM Draw

Labhlaxmi is Sikkim's own daily draw and the simpler of the two. It is drawn every day at 4 PM, the ticket costs ₹10, and the winning numbers are plain four-digit numbers — there is no series letter to match. That simplicity is the point: you only need your four digits to match, exactly, to take the first prize of ₹10,000.

Each day of the week has its own draw name. Check the name on your ticket against this list to make sure you are reading the right day's result:

So a ticket for a Monday draw will say Bliss, a Sunday ticket will say Power, and so on. A Monday ticket cannot win in a Tuesday draw, even if the number matches.

Labhlaxmi Prize Table

The first five ranks each have a single drawn four-digit number. The sixth rank is different: it pays ₹100 on a long list of four-digit endings published with each result, so many tickets share that tier. Because the numbers are only four digits, a near miss on the last digit is still a miss — the full four digits must match for the top five ranks.

The Dear 6 PM Draw: One Draw, Not Two

This is the point most readers get wrong, so it is worth stating plainly. There is only one Dear draw at 6 PM each day. The same winning numbers are published as the 6 PM result on both the Sikkim and the Nagaland result pages. There are not two separate 6 PM draws that happen to share numbers — there is one draw, and both states' pages report it. The 1 PM and 8 PM draws, by contrast, are Nagaland's draws.

The 6 PM draw is the big one: the ticket costs ₹7 and the first prize is ₹1 crore, paid to a single ticket that matches the full number, including its series letter and five digits. Like Labhlaxmi, it carries a different name each day of the week:

The consolation prize goes to the first-prize number in all the remaining series — if your ticket carries the winning five digits but a different series letter, that is the consolation tier, not the first prize. The lower tiers are decided on the last four digits of the ticket number.

Sikkim Bumper Lotteries: State-Specific Draws

Sikkim's bumper draws belong to Sikkim alone. They are not shared with Nagaland, and they must not be confused with Nagaland's Puja Bumper: each state runs its own bumper calendar, with its own names, dates, and prize schemes. Sikkim's seasonal names include May Day, Ganesh Chaturthi, and X-mas. Bumper tickets cost ₹500, and the first prizes are at crore level. Dates, times, and top prizes are announced separately for each draw, so no bumper should be treated as a fixed annual date until its scheme notice appears.

Two 2026 bumper results are on record. The Dear May Day Bumper 2026 was drawn on 16 May 2026 from 6 PM onwards at the Directorate in Deorali, Gangtok, with 5 lakh tickets numbered from 500000 to 999999, a first prize of ₹3 crore won by ticket number 999327, and total prizes of ₹7,24,55,000. The Dear Ganesh Chaturthi Bumper 2026 was drawn on 19 September 2026, with a first prize of ₹3 crore won by ticket A 801021. The previous year's seasonal draws show the same pattern: the X-mas Bumper 2025 was drawn on 27 December 2025 with first-prize number 544133, and the Ganesh Chaturthi Bumper 2025 was drawn on 20 September 2025 with first-prize number 158279.

As of this guide's writing, no next Sikkim bumper has been announced. Any date or prize quoted for a future Sikkim bumper before its scheme notice appears should be treated as unconfirmed.

How to Check Your Ticket

• Read the draw name and date printed on your ticket first, then open the result for that exact draw. A Labhlaxmi ticket is checked against the 4 PM result of its own day; a Dear ticket is checked against the 6 PM result of its own day.
• For Labhlaxmi, compare all four digits. Only an exact four-digit match wins the top five ranks; the sixth rank pays on the published list of endings.
• For the Dear 6 PM draw, compare the full ticket: series letter plus five digits for the first prize, and the five digits in another series for the consolation prize. Lower tiers use the last four digits.
• Check the result against the official gazette or the Directorate's published sheet before claiming. A result page is a reference; the gazette decides.

How to Claim a Prize

Prizes must be claimed within 30 days of the draw date. Sign the back of your ticket as soon as you confirm a win, and keep the original ticket safe — a prize is paid only on production of the original ticket. Smaller prizes are generally paid through the seller or distributor, while larger prizes are claimed through the Directorate of Sikkim State Lotteries with the original ticket and identity proof. Tax is deducted at source on larger prizes, and identity and PAN details are required for those claims. Because claim counters and forms can change, verify the current procedure against the official gazette or the Directorate before travelling to claim.
