It is one of the bumper lotteries conducted by the Kerala Government Department on an annual basis. The lottery offers a prize pool of Rs 48.59 crore. The first prize is Rs 12 crore, followed by six second prizes of Rs 1 crore each. Third and fourth prizes are set at Rs 10 lakh and Rs 5 lakh respectively, with one winner per series for these categories, according to a Gazette notification issued by the Kerala Government. 

Prize Structure and Distribution

Tickets are divided into six series: VA, VB, VC, VD, VE, and VG. Prizes range from Rs 12 crore to consolation prizes of Rs 1 lakh. Lower-tier prizes include amounts like Rs 5,000 and Rs 2,000, drawn based on the last four digits up to multiple times.

The draw process involves a mechanical device using random technology. It is overseen by a panel of judges comprising at least three members. If necessary, additional judges can be co-opted from the audience to meet quorum requirements.

Kerala Lottery’s Success

Kerala’s first lottery draw took place on January 26, 1968, offering a top prize of Rs 50,000 for a ticket priced at Rs 1. Following Kerala's lead, many other states launched their own lotteries. However, Kerala State Lotteries remains a leader in revenue generation and job creation due to its credibility and transparency.

The department conducts seven weekly lotteries and six bumper lotteries annually, alongside a monthly lottery each month. It operates from its main office in Vikas Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram, with additional offices in Ernakulam and Kozhikode. There are also 14 district offices and 21 sub-offices across the state.

Kerala Department of State Lotteries

The Department of State Lotteries falls under the Ministry of Finance's administrative control. The Secretary to the Government of Kerala's Taxes Department is responsible for organising state lotteries and regulating other state lotteries within Kerala.

Kerala State Lotteries has taken proactive measures to protect the welfare of its agents, ensuring that even those who are poor or vulnerable benefit from this initiative. This commitment to social welfare sets it apart from other state lotteries.
