Tax and net payout
Lottery winnings are taxable at source. Prizes above ₹10,000 are subject to income tax deduction according to the Finance Act. Practically, winners should expect TDS to be applied to the net prize before payment. For large prizes this can materially reduce the amount received, so plan accordingly and consult a tax adviser if needed.
How to verify and where to check the result
Always verify winning numbers against the official Kerala State Lotteries publication and the official results portal. Media outlets publish the numbers quickly after the draw, but the state lottery website and the government Gazette are the authoritative records for prize confirmation.
How to claim your prize: documents and steps
Kerala has a standard process for prize claims. Key steps and documents typically required are:
- Sign the back of the winning ticket immediately and record your name and address. This secures the ticket and helps establish ownership.
- For prizes up to ₹5,000 you may usually claim payment from authorised lottery agents or the District Lottery Office. For prizes above ₹5,000 claim must be made at the appropriate government office or through a bank.
- Prizes above ₹1 lakh generally require submission at the Directorate of State Lotteries, Thiruvananthapuram. First and second prize winners are often asked to present claims in person or send their tickets by insured registered post.
- Documents normally needed: filled claim form or stamped receipt, two passport photos attested by a gazetted officer or bank authority, self-attested photocopy of both sides of the ticket, attested copies of identity proof such as Aadhaar, PAN card, passport or election ID, and bank passbook copy with IFSC and account number for electronic transfer. If claiming through a bank there may be additional bank certification forms.
Deadlines and condonation
The standard requirement is to surrender the original winning ticket and claim within 30 days from the draw date. However the rules allow some flexibility in exceptional cases. District lottery officers may condone delays up to 90 days and the Director may extend condonation further in special circumstances. Bumper draws and other specific schemes sometimes list slightly different deadlines, so confirm the rule that applies to SK-35 before you submit your claim.
Practical tips for winners
- Sign the ticket and keep the original safe. Do not write on the face of the ticket or damage it. Mutilated or tampered tickets may be rejected.
- Make high quality photocopies of both sides and keep scanned backups. Carry ID originals and copies when making the claim.
- Use registered post or bank route for sending high value tickets if you cannot present them in person. Keep tracking and insurance receipts.
- Beware of fraud. Only approach authorised district offices, banks or official agents. Do not share ticket images publicly until you have lodged a claim and taken legal advice if needed.
- Consult a tax professional before accepting large prize money so you understand TDS, potential advance tax liabilities and the documentation needed for net receipts.
What to do if you think you have the winning ticket
Double check the winning number and series immediately. Then follow the claim steps above. If you are outside Kerala and have won a large prize note that additional notarisation of documents may be required for out-of-state claimants. The Gazette and the Directorate provide guidance for non-resident claimants.
Where to get official help
- Directorate of State Lotteries, Thiruvananthapuram is the nodal authority for high value claims.
- District Lottery Offices handle smaller claims and initial verification.
- Official Kerala State Lotteries website and the Government Gazette carry formal notifications, prize structures and any special instructions for a given draw.
