So You've Won... Now What? A Quick Guide

If you're one of the lucky winners, first of all, take a deep breath and congratulations! The next steps are crucial. The most important rule is that you have to claim your prize within 30 days of the draw. Don't wait! You’ll need to verify your winning number against the results published in the Kerala Government Gazette to be absolutely sure.

For smaller prizes, under ₹5,000, you can simply head to any lottery shop in Kerala with your ticket to collect your winnings. If your prize is over ₹5,000, you'll need to present your winning ticket along with identity documents at a bank or a government lottery office. For the big prizes—anything over ₹1 lakh—you must claim it directly at the State Lottery Office in Thiruvananthapuram. Remember to bring your original ticket, a valid ID proof, and a copy of your PAN card.

Keeping Your Ticket Safe is Key!

This cannot be stressed enough: your ticket is everything. You cannot claim a prize without the original, physical ticket. Keep it in a safe, dry place away from potential damage. Don't fold it unnecessarily or scribble on it. For high-value prizes, the winner must self-attest both the front and back of the ticket. A damaged ticket could lead to issues with your claim, so treat it like the precious piece of paper it is!

The Reality Check: Taxes and Deductions

Winning a huge sum of money is incredibly exciting, but it's important to be aware of the financial side of things. As per Indian tax laws, specifically Section 194B of the Income-tax Act, any lottery prize money exceeding ₹10,000 is subject to a Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). This means you'll see a 30% deduction from your prize money right off the bat.

On top of that, there's also a 10% commission for the agent who sold you the winning ticket. So, while you win a fantastic amount, the final sum you receive will be after these deductions. It's also mandatory to declare your lottery winnings in your income tax returns. It’s always a good idea to seek some financial advice after a big win to manage it wisely.

Don't Miss Out: The Monsoon Bumper is Next!

If today wasn't your lucky day, don't lose hope! The excitement is far from over. The Kerala State Lottery department has another massive draw just around the corner. Mark your calendars for July 23, because that's when the Monsoon Bumper BR-104 draw is set to take place.

And when they say bumper, they mean it. The first prize for this draw is a jaw-dropping ₹10 Crore! It's one of the biggest draws of the year. The prize structure is incredible, with a second prize of ₹10 Lakh, a third prize of ₹5 Lakh, and even a consolation prize of ₹1 Lakh. This is one you won't want to miss!
