The Kerala government’s state‑run lottery sells tickets for ₹500, with a top prize of ₹30 crore, and is marketed as a revenue source for public welfare.
Kerala’s state‑run lottery, priced at ₹500 per ticket, promises a jackpot of ₹30 crore to the lucky winner. The scheme is promoted by the government as a regular means of generating funds for various welfare initiatives.
According to the official description, proceeds from ticket sales are earmarked for public‑service projects such as health, education and infrastructure development across the state. By channeling revenue through a popular gambling format, the administration aims to supplement its budget without raising taxes.
Tickets are made available through a network of authorised vendors, including lottery shops and selected retail outlets. Any resident can purchase a ticket, provided they do so from an approved point of sale, ensuring the process remains transparent and regulated.
The draw, conducted periodically, draws significant public interest each time the prize pool reaches the advertised ₹30 crore, reinforcing the lottery’s role as both a source of entertainment and a fiscal tool for the Kerala government.
