Data study — based on 328 first-prize winning tickets recorded on this site across Nagaland, Sikkim and Manipur State Lottery draws between 8 May 2026 and 8 September 2026. Every Lottery Sambad ticket number is printed with a series letter (e.g. the "D" in "81D 99735") identifying its print batch.

What this means
Series letters are assigned administratively to batches of printed tickets — they identify which print run a ticket came from, not a special "lucky" category. Ten of the eleven letters we've recorded cluster fairly tightly between 26 and 38 appearances, which is what you'd expect from batches of roughly similar size. The one outlier, "P", appeared only once in our entire dataset — most likely a short or limited print batch rather than anything statistically meaningful given the small count.
