For prizes above ₹5,000, winners are required to present the original ticket and valid identification, such as an Aadhaar or PAN card, at a District Lottery Office or the Directorate of State Lotteries. Prizes up to ₹5,000 can be claimed directly from any authorized lottery agent, making the process accessible for all.
Winners of the first and second prizes must surrender their winning tickets either in person or via insured registered post to the Director of State Lotteries. Alternatively, they can submit their claims through nationalized, scheduled, state, or district co-operative banks along with the necessary documents. All claims must be made within 30 days of the draw date, and it is recommended to use the Kerala Lottery barcode scanner to verify ticket authenticity before submitting a claim.
It is important to note that a 30% income tax deduction applies to prize amounts exceeding ₹10,000, and a 10% commission is paid to the ticket agent from the winning prize amount. These deductions are standard practice and ensure compliance with government regulations.
Bodoland Lottery Results Announced in Assam
While Kerala celebrated its new winners, the Bodoland Lottery Department in Assam also declared the results of its daily draw, bringing joy to participants across the region. The Bodoland Lottery is one of the richest lottery systems in Assam, and it is administered by the Government of Assam under the Bodoland Territorial Council. The draw, held at 3 PM, is part of a series of three daily draws that offer multiple chances to win.
On October 13, 2025, the first prize of the Bodoland Lottery was ₹1,00,000, a life-changing sum for the lucky winner. The second prize was ₹7,000, and the third prize was ₹3,500.

The Bodoland Lottery is known for its fairness and transparency, with thousands of participants checking their results through official sources and authorized lottery centers.
Responsible Play and Community Impact
Both the Kerala and Assam lottery systems emphasize the importance of responsible play. Lottery participation can be addictive, and both states urge players to treat the lottery as a form of entertainment rather than a financial investment. Setting a budget and playing within one’s means are key messages promoted by the authorities. The widespread popularity of these lotteries is a testament to the hope and excitement they bring, but officials remind participants to play responsibly.
The impact of these lotteries extends beyond individual winners. In Kerala, the revenue generated from ticket sales supports various social welfare programs, infrastructure projects, and community development initiatives. The Kerala State Lottery is a major source of funding for the state, and its transparent operations have earned it a reputation for integrity and public trust. Similarly, the Bodoland Lottery in Assam contributes to local development and provides opportunities for thousands of residents to dream big.
Looking Ahead: Next Draws and Ongoing Excitement
With the conclusion of the Bhagyathara BT-24 draw and the latest Bodoland Lottery results, attention now turns to the upcoming draws. In Kerala, the next weekly lottery will offer another chance for participants to win life-changing sums, while Assam’s daily draws continue to attract hopeful players. The anticipation and excitement surrounding these events remain high, as new stories of luck and fortune are written each day.
For those who did not win this time, the message is clear: every ticket offers a chance, and the next draw could bring unexpected joy. As always, participants are encouraged to check official sources for results and to claim prizes promptly and responsibly.
In summary, yesterday’s lottery draws in Kerala and Assam have created new winners, brought happiness to families, and reinforced the enduring appeal of the lottery in India.
