The state-run draw is back today with that 1 crore jackpot and a kind of result time that makes for a good deal of anticipation. It is a 50 rupee ticket for the Monday lottery, which is as much a policy matter as it is a popular wager. The proceedings are on at 3 pm, with the word from officials being to expect the outcome by 5 pm on July 13, 2026.
Why this is of some import to the way Kerala does lotteries
You can put it down to design: the State Lotteries Department uses a very visible top prize to get eyes on the game, then relies on a host of smaller wins to build confidence and keep players coming back. A 1 crore headliner is what it takes to make an impression.
There is no room for opacity here. The numbers are chosen in a random, supervised manner. Independent judges are there to watch over the live event, and when the results are put out, they are done so through the proper channels for anyone to check.
A payout structure with some depth to it
It is not just the 1 crore first place. The second and third go for 30 lakh and 5 lakh. And for any other series that happens to match the first prize number, there are 11 of them with 5,000 on the line.
The rest of the board is made to be inclusive. As many as 21,600 could be in the running for the 5,000 fourth prize, or 6,480 for the 2,000 fifth. The 1,000 sixth prize is open to 32,400, and the 500 seventh to 213,840.
Then you have the 200 and 100 prizes for the eighth and ninth spots, which can be had by up to 101,520 and 155,520 holders respectively. It is all a matter of the last four digits on the ticket.
When and where to find out
The Gorky Bhavan, not far from Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram, is where today’s Bhagyathara BT-62 will be held. The department says to look for the results on their site by 5 pm after the 3 pm start.
Any of the authorised agents in the state will have the 50 rupee tickets. When it is over, the best course is to head to the Kerala State Lotteries web page to confirm. The full PDF is also on keralalotteries.info and keralalotteryresult.net.
For a quick rundown:
– Draw: Bhagyathara BT-62, Monday, July 13, 2026.
– 3 pm for the draw; 5 pm for the answer.
– Gorky Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram.
– 1 crore to win; 50 to enter.
– 30 lakh and 5 lakh for the next two.
– Under the eye of officials and judges.
Making a claim in 30 days or less
The clock is ticking. From the day the results are in, a winner has 30 days to put in a claim. It is best to be sure of the numbers and not be led astray by some unverified list or a message passed along.
Here is how to go about it:
– Check the Kerala Government Gazette for the numbers.
– Make the claim within the 30-day period.
– Go to the head office at Gorky Bhavan.
– Have the original ticket and a government photo ID in hand.
Paperwork is part of the process. One should have a self-attested copy of the ticket, front and back. Also, bring a few passport photos (with a Gazetted Officer’s attestation), a signed PAN card and some form of ID like a Voter or Ration Card.
And then?
After 5 pm, when the numbers are known, it is a case of double-checking on the official site and making one’s way to the department in Thiruvananthapuram. Stick to the authorised sellers to stay in the clear and avoid any trouble.
The department will tell you the weekly routine is what underwrites the state’s revenue and its welfare work. But it is easy to get carried away, so some discretion is in order.
