How Winners Can Claim Their Prizes

The first and second prize winners must surrender their tickets in person or via insured registered post.
Winners have thirty days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes.

Responsible Play and Legal Guidelines

Winners are reminded to verify their numbers through official channels, such as the Kerala Lottery website or authorized lottery centers in Assam. Both states require winners to provide valid identification and submit claims within the specified time frame. These measures help maintain the integrity of the lottery system and protect participants from fraud.
