About the Punjab State Lottery, and how we keep this page accurate

The Punjab State Lottery is run by the Directorate of Small Savings, Banking and Lotteries, Government of Punjab, under the Punjab State Lotteries Rules, 2015. Alongside a Weekly and a Monthly scheme, the Directorate publishes several festive bumper editions through the year — Baisakhi, Holi, Rakhi and Diwali among them — each with its own ticket series, draw date and prize structure notified by official circular.

The Punjab State Dear Diwali Bumper 2026 is this year’s festive-season edition, and everything on this page — the draw date, ticket price, series numbering and the full prize table — is taken directly from the scheme as notified by the Directorate, not estimated or carried over from a previous edition. Where a number can change between print runs or amendments, we say so rather than guess.

This page is reviewed ahead of each major draw and updated whenever the Directorate issues a fresh notification, so the dates and figures you see here should match what’s printed on an official ticket. If you ever spot a mismatch between this page and your physical ticket, the physical ticket and the Gazette notification always take precedence.

A quick word on buying safely

Plenty of sites are happy to take a payment for a Punjab lottery ticket “booked online” — but no such official channel exists. Every genuine Punjab State Lottery ticket is a physical paper ticket, sold only by authorized dealers in states where lottery sales are legally permitted. A torn, altered, or forged ticket will not be entertained for a prize claim, so keep yours safe from the moment you buy it.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Punjab State Dear Diwali Bumper 2026?
It’s the Punjab State Lottery’s flagship festive draw for this Diwali season, offering a guaranteed ₹12 Crore 1st Prize — drawn only from tickets that were actually sold — plus nine further prize tiers underneath it.
Where should I actually go to buy a ticket?
Only from an authorized physical dealer. Plenty of people land here searching for a way to buy a Punjab lottery ticket or book one online, but the honest answer is that no such digital storefront exists — walk into a licensed local seller and buy the paper ticket directly.
I've seen sites offering a Diwali Bumper 2026 online purchase — are they legitimate?
No. Any site advertising online purchase or home delivery of a Punjab State Lottery ticket is operating outside the official system. Treat the offer as a warning sign, not a shortcut, and stick to authorized in-person sellers.
Why has the top prize gone from 7 Crore to 12 Crore?
The ₹7 Crore figure belonged to the last bumper edition. For the Diwali Bumper 2026, the Directorate has raised the guaranteed 1st Prize to ₹12 Crore — one of the largest payouts on the Punjab State Lottery calendar this year.
How soon should I check the lottery result after the draw?
As soon as it’s published. The draw takes place on 16 November 2026, and your 30-day window to submit a prize claim begins the day the result is officially notified — checking early simply gives you more room.
What time does the draw happen, and who conducts it?
The live draw starts at 6:00 PM on 16 November 2026, conducted and supervised by the Directorate of Small Savings, Banking and Lotteries at Chandigarh.
How many series are there, and does the series name affect my odds?
There are twelve series, each named after a zodiac sign and numbered 700000 to 999999. The name is only a label — every series has an identical, equal chance in the draw.
What's the process for claiming a prize once I've won?
Prizes up to ₹10,000 can be paid directly by your seller or sub-agent. Anything above that requires the original ticket (reverse side filled in) plus the prescribed application form, submitted to the Directorate’s Chandigarh office within 30 days of the result being published.
