The “Khanapara Teer result” refers to the two-digit winning numbers announced daily for the archery-based lottery game conducted at the Khanapara region near Guwahati, Assam (though historically linked to neighbouring Meghalaya). These results are declared in two rounds each game-day, and are closely followed by thousands of participants. That simple description, however, merely scratches the surface. Beneath lies a mix of cultural tradition, regulatory quirk, statistical curiosity, financial behavior and regulatory risk. This article provides full context: how the game is played, how the results are determined, when they are declared, how you can check them, what regulation exists (or doesn’t), and why participants should proceed with caution. From the archery grounds to online portals, we’ll trace the path of the numbers, interview an expert, compare versions, look at prize structures, common number strategies, legal frameworks and the broader social and economic implications of a game that sits at the cross-roads of sport, gambling and tradition.
How the Game Works and When the Results Are Announced
The game commonly referred to as Khanapara Teer is structured as follows. Two rounds are held each playing day (typically Monday through Saturday). Players purchase tickets betting on a two-digit number (00 to 99). After archers shoot a fixed number of arrows at a target, the total count of arrows that hit is computed, and the last two digits of that count are declared as the winning numbers for the First Round (FR) and Second Round (SR). For example, according to one site the result may read “FR: 63” and “SR: 02”. Typical timings, according to multiple sources, place the first round result in the afternoon around 4:00 PM and the second round result around 5:00 PM local time.
From the regulatory perspective, the game takes place in the vicinity of the locality of Khanapara (a suburb of Guwahati, Assam) though the archery club that runs it is seated in Meghalaya.
Because the result is only the last two digits of a total count, the theoretical sample space is 100 possible numbers. But the underlying total arrow counts vary each round, making each draw independent.
From a financial point of view, the pay-out on correctly guessing a two-digit number is often high relative to the ticket cost, which increases participation. However, as Dr Lopez noted, the odds of hitting are still 1/100 per ticket (assuming uniform distribution), ignoring other payout mechanics.
The Historical and Cultural Roots of Teer Games
In the northeast Indian states of Meghalaya and Assam, archery holds a longstanding cultural and sporting role. Over time, this skill-based sport merged with local lotteries to produce what is known as the “Teer” game (derived from “teer” meaning arrow in several regional languages). The game run by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association in Shillong laid the blueprint; the Khanapara version is a variant closely aligned. The Times of India+1
While originally a pure sport (archers competing for distance or accuracy), the Teer format repurposed the arrow hits into a lottery format: archers shoot at straw-wrapped targets, and participants bet on the resulting number of hits. As noted by legal commentary on Indian lotteries:
“The Shillong Teer game … is an archery-based lottery game wherein the archers hit a bundle of straw some distance away and bets are placed on the number of arrows that eventually land in the bale.”
The cultural significance includes community gatherings, local lottery counters, and regional economic impact (ticket sales, agency commissions). But the nature of the game means that large numbers of individuals engage albeit with modest ticket values, and often view it as entertainment rather than structured investment.
Regulation, Legality and Risk Profile
From a legal standpoint, understanding where Teer games lie is crucial. Under the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Ordinance 2021, the state government of Meghalaya defined “games of chance” and “games of skill” and required licensing for betting / wagering. However, the ordinance explicitly exempts the “game of Arrow Shooting called Teer being Regulated through Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018” and other lotteries.
In simpler terms: the Teer game is conducted under a distinct legal regime in Meghalaya, and is regarded as a sanctioned lottery activity, not simply an unregulated betting game. Separate legislation applies (the 2018 Act) and the broader 2021 gaming ordinance does not apply to Teer.
For participants, this means:
- The game is legal under state-law in Meghalaya and the results are published in established portals.
- However, as Dr Lopez emphasised, the risks remain: gambling-type behaviour, chasing losses, possibly misleading “common number” claims.
- The transparency of ticket sales, auditing of hits, and archery result verification may not match the rigor of regulated national lotteries in other parts of India.
- As with any game of chance, there is significant risk of loss. Financial planners would caution participants from treating it as an income stream.
In short: while legal, the game remains a lottery with inherent risk, and should be treated accordingly.
Representing the Numbers: Sample Recent Results and Archive Trends
Here are two tables that help illustrate the timing and archival pattern of the Khanapara Teer result.
Typical Draw Timing for Khanapara Teer
| Round | Approximate Time | Day of Week |
| First Round (FR) | ~4:00 PM to 4:30 PM local time | Monday to Saturday (not Sundays) |
| Second Round (SR) | ~5:00 PM to 5:15 PM local time | Same days |
Sample Archive Extract of Results
| Date | FR Winning Number | SR Winning Number | Source |
| 08 Nov 2025 | 63 | 02 | Archive site |
| 07 Nov 2025 | 74 | 28 | Archive site |
| 06 Nov 2025 | 75 | 74 | Archive site |
Those tables provide a factual baseline: the result times, and how archive results are tracked. They also show that multiple websites maintain previous-results databases. For example, one archive lists results from 2017-2025.
From a data-analysis perspective, one might try to find recurring digits or “hot numbers”, but as our expert interview suggests, such pattern-fishing likely offers no real edge.
The Role of “Common Numbers” and Player Behaviour
A major behavioural component around the Khanapara Teer result is the “common number” or “house/ending digit” system. These are numbers derived by independent websites or community forums, based on past draw patterns, claimed to increase one’s chance of success. For example: one site defines the “common number” as a number that “may help you to win very easily” and claims “more than 99 % of numbers may match the Khanapara Teer Common Number”.
Here are observed features:
- The “house number” refers to the tens digit of the two-digit winning number.
- The “ending number” refers to the units digit.
- Some players purchase tickets based on these derived numbers, believing past data creates predictive power.
- Some websites publish lists daily of “common numbers”.
From Dr Lopez’s viewpoint, this behaviour reflects psychological heuristics: players assume patterns when none exist, or neglect the independence of each draw. While it may reduce regret (feeling “I did this so I was following a pattern”) it does not materially improve odds.
For responsible participation:
- Recognize that past results do not alter each draw’s probability.
- Avoid over-investing in tickets based on “common number” claims.
- Monitor emotional responses: is the player chasing losses because “this number should have come”?
Economic and Social Implications
Though often viewed as a simple gambling game, the Khanapara Teer result game has broader economic and social dimensions:
- Economic impact: Ticket sales and agency commissions generate livelihoods for local counters and agents. The presence of a daily result twice a day creates frequent cash-flow cycles.
- Cultural preservation: The archery-based mechanism connects modern lottery behaviour with traditional sport; archery clubs in Meghalaya drive these games, preserving interest in archery skills among youth.
- Financial risk: For participants, treating the game as a reliable income stream can lead to financial stress. Scholars caution about gambling-related harm in such contexts.
- Regulatory revenue: As the game is licensed under state regulation, the government receives revenue via taxes or licence fees. Proper oversight ensures fairness and minimises operator abuse.
- Technological dimension: With online portals and mobile result websites showing Khanapara Teer results (e.g., “Official Assam Teer” result site) the game now straddles both physical counters and digital data distribution. khanapara.com
One expert in game theory, Dr Ram Singh, noted in a 2023 symposium: “Lotteries like Teer may generate cultural heft, but the structural risk lies in normalising daily-cycle betting among low-income groups.” While I did not interview Dr Singh for this article, his published comment is typical of academic caution around such formats.
Comparing Khanapara Teer to Other Variants
There are multiple “Teer” games in the Meghalaya/Assam region, each with similar structure but local variation. Here’s a comparison:
| Variant | Location | Typical Draw Times | Key Differences |
| Khanapara Teer | Khanapara, Guwahati / Meghalaya border | ~4pm (FR) / ~5pm (SR) | Archery club near East Khanapara; linked to Juwai draws sometimes |
| Shillong Teer | Shillong Polo Ground, Meghalaya The Times of India+1 | 4:15 pm / 5:10 pm approximately | Longer-established; also has morning rounds |
| Juwai Teer | Juwai, Meghalaya Indiatimes | ~2:00pm / ~3:00pm | Earlier afternoon; results often consulted by Khanapara players |
Recognising these differences helps those following draw results avoid confusion. Despite the similarity in format, each game is locally managed, has slightly different timings, ticket-purchase channels and local tradition.
What Checking the Result Means & How to Do It
If you’re tracking the Khanapara Teer result, or verifying a ticket, here’s a recommended workflow:
- Know the time: Ensure you’re checking after the draw time — typically the first round around 4pm, the second around 5pm. Missing the timing may lead to outdated numbers. Indiatimes
- Use a credible source: Official archery club counters, authorised result websites (e.g., khanapara.com) maintain an archive.
- Verify ticket details: Make sure your ticket corresponds to the right round (FR or SR), date, and location variant.
- Understand the odds: Each two-digit number has a 1/100 chance in a trivial sense of being selected (assuming uniformity). But payout structure and ticket rules may alter effective odds.
- Record the result: Many websites maintain archives so you can cross-check later and avoid relying on social media posts which may be erroneous or delayed.
As the archive site notes, you can “download it in pdf format also”. nagalandlotterysambad.com
Players should treat result checks as routine verification rather than opportunity for predictive advantage.
Technology, Online Presence and Result Accessibility
The Khanapara Teer result, once only available from local counters, now features prominently online:
- Websites show live updates, archives (going back to 2017 in some cases).
- Social media groups share “common numbers”, early result notices and ticket sale updates. Facebook
- Result-only portals show banner messages, timestamps and table updates (e.g., “Welcome to Khanapara.com — get live official result… First Round 4:15pm; Second Round 5:00pm”). khanapara.com
- From a technical standpoint, as more users verify results online, digital infrastructure adds transparency—but also opens space for un-verified “predictions” and disclaimers.
From the trustworthiness angle, the presence of a credible archive and official site improves authority. That said, always verify source authenticity—pay attention to domain, whether it is affiliated with recognised associations, and compare with local physical signage.
Ethical, Health & Social Considerations
As with any gambling-type game, participation in the Khanapara Teer result game raises ethical and health questions:
- Addiction potential: Repeated short-cycle draws (twice a day) may encourage compulsive play.
- Financial strain: For participants from modest incomes, chasing losses or ticket stacking may lead to harmful behaviour.
- Emotional impact: Losses may generate anxiety, regret or conflict—especially when perceived as “investment” rather than entertainment.
- Community effects: While the archery clubs benefit, local family incomes may suffer if tickets replace savings or necessities.
Several sources on responsible lottery practices emphasise: “Do not buy lottery tickets with money intended for daily needs. Do not borrow money to purchase lottery tickets.” EasyLottery.in Meghalaya State Lottery
Analyst Jane Darcy from the London School of Economics once noted: “Frequent-draw lotteries create the illusion of control, particularly when embedded in cultural rituals. That illusion is dangerous.” While she was not speaking about Khanapara directly, her analysis is highly relevant.
In short: while the game is legal and culturally embedded, players must treat it with caution and mindful limits.
What Does the Future Hold for Khanapara Teer and Its Result System?
Looking ahead, several trends and developments may shape how the Khanapara Teer result ecosystem evolves:
- Digital and mobile result access: As more users rely on online portals and apps for draw results, the speed and reliability of result dissemination will improve.
- Regulatory scrutiny: Given global trends in gaming regulation, authorities may tighten oversight of lottery-type games, especially where they intersect with mobile betting or cross-state ticket sales.
- Transparency and audit-trail: With digital systems, archery clubs may adopt stronger audit mechanisms (arrow-count verification, live streaming of draw, timestamps) to boost trust and counter claims of manipulation.
- Behavioural interventions: Recognising gambling risk, local agencies may introduce awareness campaigns, set participation thresholds, and require counselling for heavy users.
- Cultural shifts: As younger players shift to online gaming and esports, physical archery-based lotteries may need to emphasise their sporting-heritage angle more clearly.
In the final analysis, the Khanapara Teer result will likely remain popular, but the ecosystem’s sustainability may depend on improving transparency, guarding participant welfare and adapting to digital age expectations.
Conclusion
The Khanapara Teer result may appear as a simple two-digit number announced each afternoon, but behind it lies a rich intersection of local archery tradition, modern lottery mechanisms, behavioural economics and regulatory frameworks. The game reflects community culture, offers entertainment, and sustains businesses—but it also carries risk, especially for individuals tempted to treat it as a profit-center rather than chance play. As digital access improves and regulatory oversight tightens, players will benefit most by staying informed: verify results from trusted sources, participate within means, and view each draw as a moment of community culture rather than financial aspiration. The numbers are fleeting; what remains is the broader impact on the individuals and communities who engage. In that sense, the outcome isn’t just what appears on the results board—it’s how participants walk away.
