Quick answer
Kerala holds one named lottery draw per day — seven weekly draws, each weekday with its own ticket name — usually declared around 3 PM IST, plus seasonal bumper draws. Scheme names are revised from time to time, so confirm the current weekly schedule on the official Kerala State Lotteries portal.
The weekly schedule, in brief
If you have ever wondered “which Kerala lottery is drawn today?”, the answer is structural: there is a different named ticket for every day of the week. This guide maps that weekly rhythm. It complements our Kerala lottery result today guide (how the result works day to day) and the Sthree Sakthi result guide (one specific weekday draw).
Which ticket is drawn each day
Historically, Kerala has assigned a distinct named scheme to each weekday. Names are refreshed by the department periodically, so the grid below shows the long-standing pattern rather than a guarantee of today’s exact names — always confirm on the official portal:
| Day | Traditional scheme | Typical result time |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Win-Win | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Tuesday | Sthree Sakthi | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Wednesday | Fifty-Fifty | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Thursday | Karunya Plus | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Friday | Nirmal | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Saturday | Karunya | Around 3:00 PM IST |
| Sunday | Akshaya | Around 3:00 PM IST |
Because these names have changed over the years and may change again, use the grid to understand the “one scheme per day” structure — then match your ticket to the current schedule on the official site.
Draw time across the week
The good news is consistency: whichever day it is, the daily Kerala draw is held in the afternoon and the result is typically declared around 3 PM IST, with the full signed chart online shortly after. The Sthree Sakthi Tuesday result, the Sunday Akshaya result and the rest all follow that same afternoon pattern on their day.
Why one named draw per day
The seven-draw structure is not arbitrary — it dates back decades. The Kerala State Lotteries department was established in 1967 as the first government-run lottery in India, conceived as a way to raise public revenue without extra taxes while giving thousands of small agents a livelihood. Assigning a distinct named scheme to each weekday made the programme easy to follow and gave every day its own identity — a Monday ticket, a Tuesday ticket, and so on. That daily rhythm is why the result you search for changes name depending on when you bought your ticket, and why the system has stayed recognisable even as individual scheme names have been refreshed over the years.
Where bumper draws fit in
On top of the seven weekly draws, Kerala runs occasional bumper lotteries timed around festivals such as Onam, Vishu, Pooja, Christmas and the Summer season. These carry higher ticket prices and much larger headline prizes, and they are announced with their own draw date and time rather than following the 3 PM weekday rhythm. Watch the official portal for bumper announcements.
Checking any day’s result
Whichever weekday scheme you hold, the safe-checking method is identical: open the official Kerala State Lotteries website, select the draw by its date and scheme name, match your full ticket number and series against every tier, and open the signed gazette PDF for the definitive record. Never pay to “unlock” a result, and be wary of any “you won” message that demands a fee or an OTP up front — that pattern is a classic advance-fee scam, never how a real Kerala prize is paid. The full safe-checking method is in our lottery result today in India hub.
Prefer not to wait a whole day?
A weekday draw still means waiting for one scheduled result. If you would rather play on your own schedule, the fast tables on Teen Patti Stars — Andar Bahar and Dragon Tiger — settle in seconds. It is a card-gaming platform for adults 18+, not a state lottery, with no guaranteed win. The play-instant guide explains the difference honestly.
Now the week makes sense: one named Kerala draw a day, all around 3 PM IST, with bumper draws layered on for festivals. Read the Sthree Sakthi result guide for Tuesday’s draw, or the Kerala lottery result today hub for the day-to-day detail — and always confirm names and times officially.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Kerala lottery draws are there each week?+
Kerala runs one named lottery draw for each day of the week — seven weekly draws in total — plus periodic seasonal bumper draws. Each weekday has its own ticket name, which is why the result you are looking for changes name depending on the day you bought your ticket.
Which Kerala lottery is drawn today?+
It depends on the weekday and the department’s current schedule. Historically each day carries a fixed named scheme (for example a Sunday scheme, a Tuesday Sthree Sakthi draw, and so on), but names are revised from time to time, so match your ticket to the current weekly schedule on the official portal.
What time are the Kerala draws held?+
The daily Kerala draw is held in the afternoon and the result is typically declared around 3 PM IST, with the full signed chart published shortly after. On bumper or festival days the timing can differ, so treat 3 PM as the usual guide and confirm officially.
Do the Kerala scheme names ever change?+
Yes. The Kerala State Lotteries department periodically refreshes scheme names and can adjust which day a scheme runs. The structure of one scheme per weekday stays the same, but always check the current names on the official site rather than memorising last year’s.
Where is the official weekly schedule published?+
On the official Kerala State Lotteries department website, which lists the current weekly schemes, draw days and ticket details. Leading Kerala newspapers also print the schedule, but the official portal is the source to trust.
How long has Kerala run a weekly lottery?+
The Kerala State Lotteries department was set up in 1967 as India’s first state-run lottery, created to provide government revenue without additional taxes and a livelihood for ticket agents. The one-scheme-per-weekday structure has been a long-standing feature of that system.
I received a message that I won a Kerala lottery — is it genuine?+
Treat it as a scam unless you actually hold a ticket and can verify it on the official portal. The department never asks winners to pay a fee or share an OTP or bank details in advance. An unsolicited “you won” message requesting money is an advance-fee scam.
