Shillong Teer is a popular archery-based lottery game played in Shillong, the capital city of the Indian state of Meghalaya. Teer is an archery sport that originated in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya and has gained significant popularity over the years.

In the game of Shillong Teer, archers shoot arrows at a target known as the “teer target.” The target consists of a cylindrical bundle of hay, and the archers aim to hit the target with their arrows. The teer target is typically set up at a specific distance, and the archers shoot a predetermined number of arrows during each round.

The game is divided into two rounds: the first round and the second round. In the first round, archers shoot a fixed number of arrows, usually 30 to 50, at the teer target. In the second round, the archers shoot a different number of arrows, typically between 20 and 30. The total number of arrows shot in both rounds is considered the result for the day.

After the rounds are completed, the officials count the number of arrows that hit the target. The last two digits of the total number of arrows are considered the winning number. For example, if the total number of arrows that hit the target is 876, the winning number would be 76.

Participants place bets on different numbers, ranging from 00 to 99, and the winning number determines the outcome of the bets. If someone has placed a bet on the winning number, they receive a payout according to the predetermined odds set by the Teer organizers.

It’s important to note that Teer is primarily played as a local lottery game and is legal in the state of Meghalaya. However, as with any form of gambling, it’s essential to gamble responsibly and be aware of the regulations and laws in your jurisdiction.
