DEAR DAILY JOURNAL
Dear draw times: understanding the daily result board
A guide to the 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM IST schedule, and the difference between an upcoming draw and a published result.
Dear Daily organises its daily board around three scheduled times: 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM Indian Standard Time. The morning, day and evening labels help you navigate the board; always check the actual date, draw name and time printed on your ticket.
Indian Standard Time is UTC+05:30. If you are reading the website from another country, the draw time does not change to your device’s local time. Our date labels and draw countdown use the Indian time zone so that the three sessions stay aligned.
An upcoming draw is one whose scheduled time has not arrived. An awaiting-results draw has no published numbers in our records. Reaching the scheduled time does not automatically make a result available: publication is a separate step.
A published result has its own page with a prize breakdown. You can return to that page directly or find it in the date-filtered archive. This makes it easier to distinguish today’s result from older draws that share the same time of day.
Schedules and specific draw arrangements can change. The organiser’s current draw notice and the details on your ticket take precedence over a general guide. Never use a countdown as proof that a result is final.
