💰 Dear Empire Prize Tiers Explained
Understanding the Dear Empire prize tiers helps you check your ticket correctly. The draw pays out across five prize tiers plus a consolation prize:
1st Prize — ₹1 Crore: One winning ticket per draw, matching the full number with series. Winners must claim at the Sikkim lottery office with ID proof; 30% TDS applies.
Consolation Prize — ₹1,000: For tickets identical to the 1st prize number in all digits but with a different series letter. Multiple consolation winners are common in every draw.
2nd Prize — ₹9,000: Roughly ten winning numbers are drawn for this tier. Check carefully — a single digit difference from the jackpot could still mean ₹9,000.
3rd Prize — ₹450: Dozens of winning numbers; a solid return on a ₹6 ticket.
4th Prize — ₹250 and 5th Prize — ₹120: The broadest tiers with hundreds of winners. The 5th prize typically matches only the last four digits, so scan your ticket's ending digits first for a quick check.
Pro tip: Check from the 5th prize upward — it is faster, and you will not miss a small win while hunting for the jackpot. Then confirm any match against the official PDF linked above.
