Kerala Lottery Draw Schedule: Weekly Timings and Series Codes
Kerala State Lottery runs one weekly draw per day, each with its own lottery name and series code. Knowing the timetable helps you check the right result at the right time instead of searching through the wrong draw.
One draw per day, seven days a week
Each day of the week is tied to a specific lottery. The draw is held at 3:00 PM IST and the full official result is usually published by around 4:30 PM IST.
| Day | Lottery | Series code |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Bhagyathara | BT |
| Tuesday | Sthree Sakthi | SS |
| Wednesday | Dhanalekshmi | DL |
| Thursday | Karunya Plus | KN |
| Friday | Suvarna Keralam | SK |
| Saturday | Karunya | KR |
| Sunday | Samrudhi | SM |
The 3 PM timeline
Live numbers start appearing shortly after 3:00 PM. These are provisional and can be corrected during the live announcement. The signed gazette, published later, is the version prize offices use.
If you are checking a ticket, treat the live numbers as an early indicator and confirm against the final result before travelling to a prize office.
Series codes and ticket numbers
A Kerala Lottery ticket number has two parts: a series prefix (one or two letters) and a six-digit number. The first prize, second prize and third prize are announced as a full ticket number including the prefix.
Lower tiers such as the 4th to 9th prizes are usually announced as the last four digits, which is why a single draw lists many winning numbers in those tiers.
Bumper draws
Bumper lotteries such as Vishu, Monsoon, Pooja, X'mas, Summer and Onam run alongside the weekly schedule. Their draw dates and prize structures are announced separately, and the first prize is substantially larger than a weekly draw.
Bumper results follow the same 3 PM pattern on their draw date, but the full prize list is longer because of the additional tiers.
Holidays and schedule changes
Kerala State Lottery draws are suspended on major public holidays such as Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti. When a draw is suspended, no result is published for that date.
If a result appears to be missing, check whether the date was a holiday before assuming the data is wrong. Our archive lists only dates that actually had a draw.
