Three of the daily lotteries are Dear Morning, Dear Day, and Dear Evening, with tickets costing Rs 6 each.
The Director of Nagaland State Lotteries oversees and plans these daily draws, which take place at P.R. Hill Junction, Kohima. Winners of prizes up to Rs 10,000 can be paid directly by the authorized distributors, while larger prizes must be claimed within 30 days at the Director's office or the relevant state's Nodal Office.
