The Shillong Teer lottery continues to captivate participants on August 16, 2025, with enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the results of today's games. Rooted deeply in the culture of Meghalaya, Shillong Teer is a unique archery-based lottery where participants bet on the number of arrows that will hit a target.
Shillong Teer is played from Monday to Saturday, with no games on Sunday. The game occurs in two rounds daily. In the first round, 50 archers shoot 30 arrows each at the target, while in the second round, 30 archers shoot 20 arrows each. The results for the first round are typically declared around 4:00 PM, and the second round follows at approximately 5:00 PM. However, different sources cite slightly different timings, such as 4:15 PM and 5:10 PM for the first and second rounds, respectively. Morning teer results are announced earlier in the day, around 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Additionally, night games also exist, with results announced around 7:15 PM and 8:00 PM.
Participating in Shillong Teer is straightforward. Interested individuals can visit a Teer counter in Shillong and purchase tickets for the desired rounds. The task is to predict the number of arrows that will hit the target. Participants choose a number between 00 and 99, guessing the last two digits of the total arrows that hit the target in each round.
Ticket prices generally range from ₹300 to ₹500. Winning prizes can vary from ₹8,000 to ₹11,000, depending on the accuracy of the prediction and the amount bet. For every 1 rupee bet in the first round, a person can win Rs. 80, and for every 1 rupee bet in the second round, a person can win Rs. 60. Predicting the number for both rounds can result in a payout of ₹4000.
Shillong Teer is a legal lottery game in Meghalaya, India. It is regulated by the Meghalaya Amusement and Betting Tax Act and organized under the supervision of local archery associations. The Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association, which comprises 12 archery clubs, is responsible for organizing the game regularly on the polo grounds of Shillong. The game was legalized in 1981 to eliminate illegal betting controlled by local goons and to generate revenue for the state through taxation.
