A Guide to Kerala Weekly Lotteries

Kerala hosts a different lottery draw every day of the week, each with its own unique name, prize structure, and ticket cost. Here is a quick guide to the weekly schedule.

The Seven Daily Draws

The week starts with Win-Win on Monday, followed by Sthree Sakthi (Tuesday), Fifty-Fifty (Wednesday), Karunya Plus (Thursday), Nirmal (Friday), Karunya (Saturday), and Akshaya (Sunday).

While the first prize usually ranges from ₹70 Lakhs to ₹1 Crore depending on the specific lottery, there are thousands of smaller prizes distributed across various series.

Consistency and Trust

This predictable weekly schedule, combined with the low ticket price (usually ₹50), ensures consistent participation and a steady revenue stream for the state's welfare projects.

Decoding Series and Consolation Prizes

Every ticket has a two-letter series code (e.g., WA, WB, WC) followed by a six-digit number. The series code changes based on the day of the week and the specific draw.

When a first prize is drawn, it is specific to one series and one six-digit number. However, the system generously awards \"Consolation Prizes\" to tickets in the other series that share the same six digits.

Odds and Prize Tiers:

• The first prize has the lowest odds, as it requires matching both the specific series and all six digits perfectly.
• Lower tiers often require matching only the last four digits, making them statistically much easier to win.
• Consolation prizes ensure that a near-miss on the series letter still results in a substantial payout (often ₹8,000).

Understanding these tiers and series mechanics helps participants realize that while the jackpot is rare, there are thousands of opportunities to win smaller, yet significant, amounts every single day.
