Kerala lottery is one of the most popular lottery systems in India, operated by the Kerala State Lotteries department. Withdrawing your winning Kerala lottery ticket involves several important steps that must be followed carefully.
First, you need to verify your winning ticket by checking the official Kerala lottery results published in newspapers or on the government website. Make sure your ticket number matches exactly with the winning number and series.
Next, you must sign on the back of your winning ticket exactly as it appears on the front. This signature is crucial for authentication purposes. Do not make any other marks or writings on the ticket.
For prizes up to Rs. 5,000, you can claim your winnings from any authorized lottery retailer in Kerala. For larger amounts, you need to visit the designated lottery offices in Thiruvananthapuram or other district headquarters with proper identification documents.
Required documents include your original winning ticket, identity proof like Aadhaar card, PAN card, or passport, address proof, and passport-sized photographs. The claim process typically takes 15-30 days for verification and processing.
Remember that lottery winnings above Rs. 10,000 are subject to TDS （Tax Deducted at Source） as per Indian income tax regulations. Always claim your prize within 30 days from the date of draw to avoid expiration. |
