How the Teer lottery works
Teer isn’t just a random draw; it’s an archery‑based betting system that dates back to British‑era clubs in the hills. Volunteers shoot a set of arrows at a target; the total count of arrows that hit the bullseye becomes the winning number. Players place wagers on a single‑digit or double‑digit combination before the round begins.
Prize tiers are tied to the betting amount. On Jan 13, a ₹1,000 stake on the exact pair could fetch between ₹8,000 and ₹11,000, depending on the round and the number of winners. Roughly 12,300 tickets were sold for the main Shillong draw, according to a KHASA press release, meaning the pot swelled to nearly ₹1.2 crore that day.
Community reactions and economic impact
Local shopkeepers around Shillong reported a brisk rush of customers after the 4:00 PM results. “We saw an extra 30‑plus people line up for tea and juice, all checking their slips,” said Liam Lyngdoh, the owner of a popular tea stall near the market.
Economists note that the Teer system injects a modest but steady flow of cash into the hill state’s informal economy. A 2023 study by the Meghalaya Institute of Rural Development estimated that Teer contributes roughly ₹450 million annually to local businesses, from food stalls to transport services.
What’s next for Teer bettors?
KHASA hinted at a slight schedule tweak for the upcoming week, moving the night draw in Jowai to 8:30 PM to avoid a clash with the state’s cultural festival. The association also announced a new digital verification portal slated for launch in early February, promising live streaming of arrow counts for greater transparency.
For now, players will be poring over today’s numbers, hoping their tickets match the arrows that found the target. As one veteran bettor put it, “It’s part luck, part faith, and a whole lot of community spirit.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the winning numbers determined in Teer?
During each round, a group of archers shoots a set number of arrows at a standard target. The total count of arrows that actually hit the bullseye becomes the winning number for that round. This method is overseen by KHASA officials to ensure fairness.
What prize can I expect for a ₹1,000 bet on the main Shillong draw?
A correct single‑digit bet on the first or second round typically pays between ₹8,000 and ₹11,000, depending on how many winners share the pot that day.
Why are some numbers, like the Jowai Ladrymbai results, not released immediately?
Occasionally, verification checks take longer if there are discrepancies in arrow counts or if a technical glitch occurs in the recording system. KHASA holds back those numbers until they can confirm accuracy.
Who regulates the Teer lottery in Meghalaya?
The Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association (KHASA) acts as the official regulatory body, overseeing the conduct of the games, verifying results, and ensuring compliance with state gambling regulations.
Will there be any changes to the Teer schedule this month?
KHASA announced a minor shift for the Jowai night draw, moving it to 8:30 PM starting next week to avoid overlap with a local cultural festival. No other major timing changes are planned for January.
