Kerala Lottery – Latest Results and How to Play

Every evening thousands of people in Kerala check their lottery tickets, hoping the numbers line up. The excitement is real, but the process can feel confusing if you don’t know where to look. This page gives you the freshest results, tells you how to verify a ticket, and walks you through claiming a prize.

Today's Winning Numbers

The official Kerala Lottery results are posted at 7 pm on the state’s lottery website and in most local newspapers. You can also get a push notification from the mobile app if you prefer a quick alert. For example, yesterday’s draw showed a first‑prize number of 3745, a second‑prize number of 256, and a third‑prize number of 904. The numbers follow a simple pattern: a four‑digit first prize, a three‑digit second prize, and a three‑digit third prize.

Besides the top three prizes, the draw includes a range of smaller prizes – from two‑digit matches to special “scratch‑card” wins. Each category has its own payout, so it helps to know which numbers you’re looking for before you start checking.

How to Check Your Ticket & Claim Prizes

First, locate the numbers printed on your ticket. Most tickets have a clear box for the first‑prize number, another for the second‑prize, and so on. Compare these with the official list you just saw. If any of your numbers match, note the prize tier – the amount you win depends on the tier.

For small prizes (usually up to ₹1,000), you can collect cash directly from the retailer where you bought the ticket. Keep the ticket safe until you’re sure you’ve won; the retailer needs to see the original to pay you.

Bigger prizes, like the first‑prize amount of ₹10 crore, require you to visit a designated Kerala Lottery office. Bring a valid ID, the winning ticket, and a completed claim form. The office will verify the ticket, and you’ll receive a cheque or direct transfer after processing.

Don’t forget to double‑check the prize claim window – most prizes must be claimed within 30 days of the draw. After that period, the money rolls back into the lottery fund.

A common mistake is trying to claim a prize with a torn or altered ticket. The lottery authorities use a security strip and UV markings to spot tampering, so a damaged ticket will be rejected. If you notice any wear, keep the ticket flat and store it in a dry place.

Playing safely means buying tickets only from authorized agents. Unauthorized sellers might offer fake tickets that look convincing but never win. Look for the official stamp and the dealer’s registration number on the ticket.

Finally, treat the lottery as entertainment, not a reliable income source. Set a budget, stick to it, and enjoy the thrill of checking numbers each night. With the right info and a bit of luck, you’ll be ready for the next big win.
