It is important to note that prizes exceeding ₹10,000 are subject to a 30% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).
For prizes below ₹5,000, winners can claim their rewards directly from any authorized lottery retailer or agent. Participants are advised to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchase and keep them in a safe place to avoid disputes during claims.

The Kerala State Lottery, established in 1967, has become a model for legal lotteries in India, generating significant revenue that supports various welfare programs, including health initiatives through the Karunya Benevolent Fund. The department's commitment to transparency has set a standard that has inspired other states to adopt similar frameworks.
As participants eagerly await their fortune, it’s crucial to remember the importance of responsible gaming. Lottery participation can be addictive, and players should engage within their financial limits, treating it as a form of entertainment rather than a guaranteed income source.
The successful conduct of today’s Karunya Plus KN-567 draw not only reinforces the reliability of the Kerala lottery system but also highlights its integral role in the lives of many Keralites. For those who participated, the anticipation of checking results is palpable, and for those who missed out, the next opportunity is just around the corner.
