Round Flow, Khanapara Teer

What Is Round Flow?

In Khanapara Teer, a single day of play is divided into two distinct shooting sessions called rounds. The term round flow describes the sequence of events, from the opening of ticket sales to the moment the winning numbers are declared, that repeats every working day at the Khanapara Teer counter in Guwahati, Assam.

Understanding round flow matters because each round produces its own independent result number. A player who only watches the First Round result may miss the Second Round number entirely, and vice versa. Knowing when each phase starts and ends helps you plan your day, collect your slip on time, and check the official declaration promptly.

The rounds are governed by the Meghalaya State Lotteries department, the body that licenses and oversees all teer counters in the region. Every step described on this page follows the schedule and rules set by that authority.

Round Flow Step by Step

Step 1, Ticket Sales Open (Morning)

Licensed Khanapara Teer counters begin selling tickets in the morning. A player visits a counter, chooses a number between 00 and 99, states whether the bet is for the First Round, the Second Round, or both, pays the stake, and receives a physical paper slip. The slip is the only valid proof of a bet; no digital record replaces it at the point of claim.

Step 2, Ticket Sales Close

Sales stop before shooting begins. The closing time for the First Round is typically around 3:15 PM, and for the Second Round around 4:00 PM. Counters will not accept new bets once the cutoff passes. Arriving late means waiting for the next day.

Step 3, First Round Shooting (approximately 3:45 PM to 4:05 PM)

A designated group of archers shoots a fixed number of arrows at a cylindrical target at the official Khanapara Teer ground. Officials count every arrow that strikes the target. The last two digits of that total count become the First Round result. For example, if 756 arrows hit the target, the First Round result is 56.

Step 4, First Round Result Announced

After counting, officials declare the First Round number publicly at the counter. The announcement is also communicated to the Meghalaya State Lotteries department. Players who bet on the First Round can now compare their slip number to the declared result. To get the authoritative figure, visit the Meghalaya State Lotteries official website or go directly to the licensed Khanapara Teer counter, those are the two primary official sources.

Step 5, Second Round Shooting (approximately 4:05 PM to 4:25 PM)

A second session of shooting follows immediately. The same counting method applies: total arrows on target, last two digits, result declared. The Second Round result is independent of the First Round; there is no mathematical relationship between the two numbers on any given day.

Step 6, Second Round Result Announced

Officials declare the Second Round number at the counter. Players with Second Round or combined bets now know whether they have won. Again, the authoritative source is the Meghalaya State Lotteries official website or the physical counter itself.

Step 7, Prize Collection Window

Winners must present their original paper slip at a licensed counter within the time window set by the Meghalaya State Lotteries rules, typically before the end of the same business day or by the following working day. Claims made after the window closes are not accepted, regardless of the reason. Keep your slip safe until you have confirmed whether you won.

Round Flow for New Players

Choose Your Round Before You Buy

When you approach a counter, the ticket seller will ask which round you are betting on. The First Round result comes out around 4:00 PM and the Second Round around 4:20 to 4:25 PM. Decide in advance so you do not hold up the queue. You may bet on both rounds in a single visit, simply ask for a slip for each round separately or request a combined bet if the counter offers one.

Write Down the Declared Number Yourself

Once results are announced at the counter or published by the Meghalaya State Lotteries department, write the number on a notepad or save it as a phone note. Do not rely on memory alone, especially when two results are declared within minutes of each other on the same afternoon.

Do Not Confuse First Round With Second Round

A common mistake among new players is checking only one result and assuming it covers both rounds. Each round has its own winning number. If you hold slips for both rounds, compare each slip to the correct round's result, a First Round slip cannot win on a Second Round number.

Guard Your Slip

A damaged, wet, or illegible slip may be rejected at the prize counter. Store it flat in a wallet or fold it once and keep it away from moisture. If you plan to be away from a counter after results are announced, arrange for a trusted person to collect on your behalf within the official claim window.

Verify Through the Official Channel

The Meghalaya State Lotteries official website is the authoritative place to confirm that the result you noted matches the declared number. Cross-checking protects you from acting on a misheard or incorrectly forwarded number before you present your slip for a claim.

Round Flow Common Questions

Can I buy a First Round ticket after shooting has already started?

No. Ticket sales close before shooting begins, typically around 3:15 PM for the First Round. Once the archers step onto the ground, no new bets are accepted for that round. If you arrive after the cutoff, you may still purchase a ticket for the Second Round before its own closing time, provided sales have not yet ended for that session either.

What happens if the two rounds produce the same number on the same day?

It is mathematically possible for the First Round and Second Round to share the same two-digit result on the same day. Both outcomes are valid and independent. A slip for the First Round wins only on the First Round result; a slip for the Second Round wins only on the Second Round result, even if the declared numbers happen to be identical.

Is the shooting ever cancelled or postponed?

Shooting can be suspended on public holidays, during adverse weather, or when the Meghalaya State Lotteries department issues a specific notification. When a round is cancelled, no result is declared for that round and unsettled tickets for that session may be subject to refund rules set by the authority. The Meghalaya State Lotteries official website and licensed counters are the correct places to check for any such announcements.

How long after shooting does the official result take to appear?

Arrow counting and verification by officials at the Khanapara Teer ground usually takes a few minutes. The declared number is then communicated to the Meghalaya State Lotteries department for official publication. In practice, the result is typically available within fifteen to twenty minutes of the shooting session ending, though this can vary slightly on any given day.

Does the Second Round always follow immediately after the First Round?

Under the normal schedule, the Second Round begins shortly after the First Round concludes, usually within minutes. However, if counting takes longer than expected or if there is a logistical delay at the ground, the Second Round start may shift slightly. Players waiting for the Second Round result should allow a buffer of thirty minutes past the standard time before assuming any disruption has occurred.

Where is the most reliable place to confirm a result?

The most reliable sources are the Meghalaya State Lotteries official website and the physical licensed Khanapara Teer counter where you purchased your ticket. Results communicated through informal channels, such as social-media posts or messaging-app forwards, should always be cross-checked against one of these two official sources before you make any decision about a claim.
