💰 Dear River Day Prize Tiers Explained
The Dear River Day prize structure is designed so that thousands of tickets win in every draw, not just the jackpot holder. Here is what each tier means for you:
1st Prize (₹1 Crore): The jackpot — awarded to the single ticket matching the complete winning number including the series letter. This is the life-changing prize that makes headlines, and it is subject to 30% TDS deduction before payout.
Consolation Prize (₹1,000): A special tier for tickets that match the 1st prize number in every digit except the series letter. If the jackpot is 63B 56525, then 63A 56525, 63C 56525 and so on each win ₹1,000. It softens the sting of a near-miss.
2nd Prize (₹9,000): Awarded to tickets matching a separate set of drawn numbers — typically around ten winning numbers per draw. A meaningful win that many players aim for.
3rd Prize (₹450), 4th Prize (₹250), 5th Prize (₹120): These lower tiers have the most winners — hundreds of tickets per draw. The 5th prize is drawn from the last four digits, so even a partial match on your ticket can return several times the ₹7 ticket cost.
Always check every tier before discarding a ticket — most unclaimed prizes are small wins players never noticed. Match your number against the full table above, then verify with the official PDF.
