It’s not your typical lottery, not really. Shillong Teer is a story woven from tradition and chance, a daily ritual in Meghalaya. Picture this: skilled archers, their focus absolute, drawing bows at the Polo Ground in Shillong. Their target isn’t a bullseye for sport alone; it’s the source of a number that thousands wait for. Managed by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association, this game turns the ancient practice of archery into a pulse of excitement. You pick a two-digit number, a ‘guti’ as they call it, between 00 and 99. Your guess? How many arrows will find their mark. It’s a cultural fixture, a legal archery-based number game that supports the sport itself.
