History of Kerala Lottery

Started in 1967 by the Government of Kerala. India’s first state-run lottery, introduced to:

• Provide employment to the poor and unemployed

• Raise funds for social welfare without increasing taxes

• The initiative was led by P. K. Kunju, then Finance Minister of Kerala.

• Over time, the Kerala Lottery became a model system for other Indian states.

Purpose Behind the Lottery

Unlike private or illegal lotteries, Kerala Lottery was created to:

• Generate revenue for public welfare

• Provide legal income to thousands of ticket sellers

• Eliminate illegal lottery rackets

Government Control & Transparency

• Fully managed by the Kerala State Lotteries Department

• Draws are conducted publicly

• Results are officially published and audited

This transparency is why Kerala Lottery enjoys high public trust.

Many Indian states adopted identical lottery systems after Kerala's success. One of the most reputable lotteries in India is the Kerala Lottery. Over time, lotteries were added on a daily, weekly, and bumper basis. Kerala State Lotteries consists of seven weekly lotteries, a monthly draw, and six bumper lotteries. Every day at 3:00 PM, the seven-week draw is held at Gorky Bhavan, which is close to Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram.

Kerala State hosts a number of seasonal "bumper" lotteries, including those for Christmas, summer, Vishu, monsoon, Thiruvonam, and Pooja, in addition to the weekly lotteries. Today, April 16, 2026, the Karunya Plus KN-618 lottery will take place at Gorky Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram, close to Bakery Junction.
