Kohima, 12 June (MTNews): The Nagaland State Lotteries has introduced the ‘Dear’ lottery tickets in the state, a new offering by Nagaland State Lotteries. The launch took place at the company’s office in Golaghat Road, Dimapur today, marking the first time these tickets have been made available in the state.
S Nagaraj, representing Future Gaming and Hotel Services Private Limited, the exclusive distributor for Nagaland State, expressed that the state government has entrusted their firm with the responsibility of distributing and marketing Nagaland State’s traditional paper lotteries.
