Context and recent draws
Nagaland conducts multiple daily draws under the “Dear” brand, with the 8PM slot reserved for a weekly series that rotates names by day; on Wednesdays the evening draw is branded Dear Dream (also referenced in schedules as Dear Pelican in some listings). The previous evening draw on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, was the Dear Destiny weekly lottery, which also carried a ₹1 crore first prize under the same weekly scheme. The prize architecture (₹1 crore top prize; tiered lower prizes) has remained consistent across these weekly evening draws.
