Kerala is one of the few states in India that operates a legal lottery system under the government\“s supervision. The Kerala State Lotteries Department conducts daily, weekly, and bumper lotteries that are popular across the country.
To claim your lottery prize in Kerala, you must first verify your winning ticket by checking the official Kerala Lottery results published in newspapers or on the government website. For prizes up to Rs. 5,000, you can claim your winnings from any authorized lottery vendor in Kerala.
For larger prizes above Rs. 5,000, you need to visit the Kerala State Lotteries Office in Thiruvananthapuram with your original winning ticket, valid identity proof like Aadhaar card or passport, and address proof. The ticket must be in good condition without any damage or alterations.
The claim process typically takes 15-30 days for verification and processing. For bumper lottery prizes, there is a specific claim period mentioned on the ticket, usually 30 days from the draw date. TDS （Tax Deducted at Source） applies to prizes above Rs. 10,000 as per Indian income tax regulations. |
