Kerala’s DhanaLekshmi DL‑67 Lottery Draw Delayed Until After Onam

The Kerala State Lottery Department issued a notice that the DhanaLekshmi DL‑67 draw, originally set for today, will not take place as planned. Officials cited the upcoming Onam festival, a major public holiday in the state, as the reason for the postponement. The department said a new draw date will be announced after the celebrations conclude, and ticket holders will be informed through its official channels. No changes have been made to the prize structure or ticket validity, and participants are advised to retain their tickets until the rescheduled draw. The decision aligns with past practice of avoiding major events that could distract the public from participating in the lottery.

The postponement has been reported by local media, and the lottery’s website has been updated with the notice. The Kerala State Lottery, which contributes a portion of its proceeds to social welfare schemes, expects the draw to resume once Onam festivities end.

Stakeholders, including retailers and regular players, have welcomed the move, noting that the holiday period typically sees reduced footfall and limited access to draw results. The department reiterated its commitment to transparency and will release the revised schedule promptly.
