The High-Stakes Kerala Lottery Draw—Winners and Details Unpacked
Friday turned life-changing for someone in Thamarassery, Kerala. The Kerala Lottery Suvarna Keralam SK-6 results declared on 6 June 2025 handed out the top prize of ₹1 crore to ticket RP 133796. The excitement drew crowds and hopefuls to the Gorky Bhavan near Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram, where the state’s weekly game of luck unfolded with the usual enthusiasm—and nail-biting anticipation.
This time wasn’t just about the headline jackpot. The second prize, set at ₹30 lakh, brought good news for four lucky winners—RO 301541, RR 398204, RS 152845, and RN 174138. That’s the kind of money that can shake up daily life—think clearing debts, setting up a business, or maybe, finally, buying that flat that’s felt out of reach. And if you were just a whisker away from the big numbers, there was a consolation prize of ₹5,000, spread across 12 different series. While not quite enough to retire on, it’s still a pleasant surprise for dozens of ticket holders.
The massive prize pool, with ten different tiers, meant that thousands left the venue with something to show for their flutter. Beyond the headline numbers, prizes ranged from ₹25 lakh (third prize) down to ₹50 (tenth prize), though not all winning numbers have been publicly shared. For most, the smaller victories are what keep them coming back, week after week, hoping for their lucky break.
What Happens After You Win: The Claim Process
If you discover that your ticket is a winning one, the journey isn’t over. Winners can’t just waltz in and pick up their cash. Every ticket has to be verified through the official Kerala Government Gazette—so it pays to double-check before celebrating. The department recently introduced a barcode scanner to help with authentication, making it harder for forgeries to slip through.
After the confirmation, there’s a 30-day window to claim prizes. If you dawdle past that, even a crore could slip away for good. But don’t expect to pocket the full amount—prizes above ₹5,000 are trimmed by a 30% tax upfront. And whoever sold you the ticket? They get a solid 10% agent’s commission, carved straight out of your winnings before you see a rupee.
The Kerala State Lottery is one of the few legal lotteries in India, drawing participants from across the region. Regulars treat these events as a mix of hope and habit—each draw spinning dreams into cash, or at least into something close to it. And if today wasn’t your day, there’s always another shot; the next Suvarna Keralam SK-7 draw is set for 13 June 2025, back at the same venue.
The lottery isn’t just a bit of fun—it brings in serious money for the state, funding public welfare programs and infrastructure. For players, it’s a flutter with the tiniest chance of a jackpot, but when the numbers hit, even a single ticket can change everything.
