Today’s Kerala Lottery Result will be of considerable interest as the Samrudhi SM-67 weekly lottery goes before the public for its 3 pm Sunday draw on August 9, 2026. The first prize stands at Rs 1 crore, a crore-class jackpot made attainable for the masses with a 50 entry fee. Results are due by 5 pm.
In a way, this week’s draw is a statement of intent from the state. The Samrudhi Weekly Lottery of the SM series has taken the place of the Akshaya Weekly, a strategic change in the lineup. With strict oversight in place, the state is offering value at a modest price point through a broad lower-tier grid and a top prize of a crore.
Why Samrudhi SM-67 matters today
The Samrudhi puts forward a straightforward market case: a high-profile first prize with ample distribution in the smaller wins. The Kerala State Lotteries Department confirms the first, second and third prizes are common to all series, valued at Rs 1 crore, Rs 25 lakh and Rs 5 lakh respectively.
Fairness is the order of the day at Gorky Bhavan near Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram where the draw will take place under the watch of independent officials. Once the numbers are out, participants are well advised to go by the official result notifications.
For today’s draw the key points are:
– A 3 pm draw with results to follow by 5 pm.
– The first prize is Rs 1 crore; the ticket is 50.
– The proceedings at Gorky Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram will be supervised.
– Samrudhi is now in place of the Akshaya weekly lottery.
Prize structure and reach
The design of the lottery is as much about breadth as it is about the headline figures. There are lower-tier amounts running from Rs 100 to Rs 5,000 so thousands have a chance at some return. For SM-67, the fourth prize may be claimed by as many as 21,600 and the fifth by up to 6,480.
Then there is the sixth prize of 1,000 for up to 32,400 winners and the seventh at 500 which can extend to 82,080. Up to 99,360 can come away with 200 under the eighth prize, while the ninth at 100 could see 162,000 takers. The consolation prize is for 11.
Winners across the tiers are determined with some clarity. The top three categories are open to winning tickets from any series. In the lower rungs the last four digits are drawn over and again: 150 times for Rs 100, 92 for Rs 200, 76 for Rs 500, 30 for Rs 1,000, 20 for Rs 5,000 and 6 for Rs 2,000. As for the consolation, it is given to tickets of other series bearing the first-prize number.
Ticket price and tax breakdown
Authorised dealers throughout Kerala have the 50 ticket on offer. At 39.06 plus the applicable 28 per cent Goods and Services Tax, the pricing is set in line with a formal and open tax regime.
How to check results safely
When the draw is over, it is important for participants to confirm their numbers via official means only. The Kerala State Lotteries Department will have the results out by 5 pm. In the case of SM-67, guidance has been put in place so ticket holders may download the result PDF and see the full roster of winning numbers.
The official Kerala State Lotteries website is the most straightforward way to do this. One can also find the Samrudhi SM-67 link and PDFs at keralalottery.info or keralalotteryresult.net. Do not forget to put your original ticket to one side and make a careful comparison of the series and number before you file any claim.
For those who need to be absolutely sure, the department requires winners to cross reference their ticket with what is in the Kerala Government Gazette. It is an added formality that keeps disputes at bay and ensures a smooth payout.
Claiming prizes and deadlines
There is a 30 day window from the date of the draw to put in a claim. Should the ticket prove a winner, the Kerala Lottery Office at Gorky Bhavan (near Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram) is where one would go, following the department’s process for the amount in question.
The procedure is dictated by the size of the prize. An authorised lottery agent can handle claims of up to Rs 5,000. For sums of up to a lakh, submit to the District Lottery Office if in Kerala, or the Directorate of State Lotteries if outside the state. Any figure above a lakh goes to the Director of State Lotteries, with the Deputy Director handling the range between a lakh and 20 lakh. Anything in excess of 20 lakh is to be submitted to the Director.
Documents you will need
Have the following on hand prior to a visit to the claims office:
– The original ticket with signatures on both sides.
– A passport photo attested by a Gazetted Officer.
– Copies of your PAN card and valid ID/address proof.
– A prize claim form with the revenue stamp, properly filled out.
The department is insistent on seeing valid identification with the original ticket. As for the agents, they are entitled to a commission in keeping with the rules of the category.
Inside the draw mechanics
The live proceedings at Gorky Bhavan today commence at 3 pm under the watch of independent officials to guarantee an impartial outcome. What the department then compiles and puts out as the official list is the sole arbiter for any validation.
Samrudhi has a certain appeal by virtue of its tiered system. The SM-67 is designed to offer the best of both worlds: a crore jackpot to aspire to and plenty of lower tier action from Rs 100 to 5,000 to keep engagement high.
What comes next
The department will be putting out live updates from 3 pm and a consolidated set of results by 5 pm. Hold on to your tickets and use the prescribed channels to check the official PDF.
In stepping in for the Akshaya Weekly Lottery, the new Samrudhi format is well placed to vie for attention with its headline figures and easy price. But for many the attraction lies in the smaller wins, and today’s draw is built to provide just that.
