How to Claim Your Prize Winnings

If you have cross-checked your ticket with the results updated above and discovered you are a winner, congratulations! However, it is crucial that you follow the mandatory, legally binding steps mandated by the Sikkim State Lotteries department to successfully encash your lottery prize.

For Prize Claims Upto ₹ 10,000/-

Minor prize amounts up to ₹10,000 can be encashed directly and conveniently from the authorized lottery retail agents, ticket sellers, or stockists in your respective state. Ensure you sign the back of your ticket before handing it over.

For Prize Claims Above ₹ 10,000/-

Prize amounts exceeding the ₹10,000 threshold must be processed formally through the government directorate. Lottery retailers are strictly prohibited from disbursing prize money exceeding ₹10,000. Follow these steps to secure your larger winnings:

• Submission Authority: Claims must be submitted to the Principal Director, State Lotteries, Government of Sikkim, Gangtok, or an authorized representative within your state.
• Deadline Constraint: You must submit your claim within exactly 30 (Thirty) Days from the date of the draw (19.09.2026). Late submissions will automatically be rejected.
• Mandatory Documents:
  • The original physical prize-winning ticket with the winner’s full signature on the reverse side.
  • A correctly filled and signed official claim form.
  • An affidavit establishing your legal ownership of the ticket.
  • A self-attested photocopy of your PAN Card.
  • A cancelled cheque leaf from your active bank account.
  • Valid, government-issued Identity and Address proof documents.
  • Three recent passport-size photographs (attested).

Taxation, Disclaimers, and Rules

The Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998, and the Sikkim State Lottery (Regulation) Rules, 2023 entirely govern this bumper draw. Any prize crossing the ₹10,000 bracket is inherently liable for standard Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) under the provisions laid out in the Income Tax Act, 1961. Therefore, the payout you receive will be the net amount post-tax deductions.

The state takes severe legal action against any attempt to claim funds using a forged, tampered, mutilated, or torn ticket. Defective tickets (such as printing mistakes or numbering errors) should have been exchanged with fresh ones prior to purchase; no claims for printing defects are entertained post-draw. In the event of any dispute or misunderstanding, the final, binding decision will rest exclusively with the Principal Director of Sikkim State Lotteries, and legal jurisdiction is explicitly limited to Gangtok, Sikkim.
