Lottery Sambad Nagaland

The Lottery Sambad Today: A Quick Overview

If there is one country that illustrates how powerful of an influencer brand a state-run lottery can become, it is probably India. While there are probably better options for your gambling money, including 22Bet India or Betwinner India (both options are available to Indian residents), it is clear that these daily lotteries occupy a fair share of mind for many Indian citizens on a daily basis.

The government of Nagaland, a mountainous state in northeast India, bordering Myanmar, runs a lottery system known as the Nagaland State Lottery, more commonly known by its old name, the Lottery Sambad.

The lottery is illegal in most Indian states, with Nagaland  being one of the rare exceptions. Only government run lotteries are legal in India and private lotteries are imposed a complete ban.

The idea behind the legalization of the Nagaland Lottery department was to bolster state revenue, and it is the local government’s finance department that announces the official lottery results on its official website.

This official lottery comes in old sorts of “flavors”, with colorful names such as: Dear Parrot, Dear Falcon, Dear Vulture, Dear Flamingo, Dear Hawk, Dear Ostrich, Dear Eagle, etc.
