The Kerala State Lottery program, established in 1967, is the first of its kind in India and operates under the government’s lottery department. This initiative was launched to generate revenue for the state while providing employment opportunities without disturbing the public. As of 2025, the program employs over 500 people across various offices in Kerala.
Each week, the Kerala State Lottery conducts seven draws, with the Fifty-Fifty lottery being a popular choice among participants. The excitement of waiting for the results is a widespread phenomenon, as many people hope to change their fortunes with a lucky ticket.
In addition to the weekly draws, the Kerala State Lottery also features seasonal bumper lotteries, which include festive themes like Christmas, Summer, Vishu, Monsoon, Thiruvonam, and Pooja. These special draws often have even larger prize amounts, attracting even more participants.
As the results for the Fifty-Fifty FF-136 lottery were announced, many ticket holders rushed to check their numbers. The process of claiming prizes is straightforward; winners must present their original winning ticket, self-attested on both sides, along with a government-issued ID proof and two passport-sized photos. For prizes below ₹5,000, winners can collect their rewards from any authorized lottery shop in Kerala, while larger amounts require submission at a bank or government lottery office.
It's worth noting that the Kerala Lottery deducts 30% tax from the total prize amount, along with a 10% commission for agents selling the tickets. This revenue is crucial for funding various welfare programs within the state, including the Karunya scheme, which provides financial assistance for medical expenses to those in need.
As the excitement from today's draw settles, attention turns to the next big event: the Vishu Bumper BR-103 lottery, scheduled for May 28, 2025, with a remarkable first prize of ₹12 crore. This upcoming draw has already begun generating buzz, with ticket sales starting on April 2, 2025.
