Beginning, the department was to set an example for the entire country. Soon many other states jumped into the bandwagon by starting their own lotteries. However, Kerala State Lotteries remains atop all of them, thanks to its credibility, and its effective measures for agents’ welfare. Starting with just one lottery, the department now rolls out six weekly lotteries viz. Kairali, Periyar, Haritha, Bhagyathara , Chaithanya and Soubhagya and six bumper lotteries. The department, which started with a few personnel, now has around 459 employees under its central directorate located at Vikas Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram, 14 district offices and a Regional Deputy Directorate at Ernakulam. The department which was initially under the Department of Finance was later brought under the Taxes Department. - www.keralalotteries.com

Venue for the draw and the details of panel members are published before the date of draw, which ensures maximum public participation. The public is given the chance to participate in the procedure once the first few prizes are determined by judges present. - www.keralalotteries.com

Kerala, the gods own country, added another first to its cap in 1967, when a lottery department was setup for the first time in India. The right idea came from the then Finance Minister of Kerala, the late Shri. P. K. Kunju Sahib, who envisioned non-tax revenue for the state, at the same time providing a stable income source for the poor and the common. Within no time, the department has grown throughout the length and breadth of Kerala by contributing to the needful. It had the late Shri. P. K. Seydu Mohammed as its first director, in fact its founder director. The department which came into existence on September 1, 1967, released its first lottery ticket on November 1, the same year. The ticket valued at Re. 1 carried first prize money of Rs. 50,000. The first draw took place after more than 60 days i.e., on January 26. - www.keralalotteries.com

The tickets are printed as books with 25 tickets in each one, in the case of weekly lotteries and 10 tickets in the case of bumper lotteries. These books are then transferred to the lottery department. There it is carefully examined and details of the tickets are entered into the register. The tickets are then disbursed to the District Lottery offices from the lottery directorate and the regional deputy directorate. Once it reaches district offices, it is again scrutinized, and the department’s seal is stamped on it. The counterfoil is then taken off and the ticket is supplied to agents. - www.keralalotteries.com
