Q5: I checked the result today, but the draw date was yesterday. Is my ticket valid?
Answer: Yes! A winning ticket is valid for 30 days from the date of the draw. If you missed checking it on the same day, you can always verify it using our Old Results Archive.
Q6: What happens if my ticket is torn or washed?
Answer: This is risky. The lottery department usually rejects damaged, torn, or unreadable tickets. You must keep your ticket safe. If the numbers are not visible, you cannot claim the prize.
Q7: Can I claim the prize anonymously?
Answer: No. To claim any major prize (above ₹10,000), you must submit your Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, and Bank Details. This is mandatory for tax purposes and to prevent fraud.
Q8: I received a call saying I won a lottery. Is it true?
Answer: No, it is a scam. The Bodoland Lottery department NEVER calls winners. You must check the result yourself and go to them to claim the prize. Do not pay any “processing fee” to such callers.
Q9: Where can I download the official result PDF?
Answer: You can download the high-quality official PDF directly from our website, BodolandLotterie.com. We upload the file within minutes of the draw result.
Q10: How do I contact the lottery office?
