How to check the SS-542 result

Once the draw is over, compare your ticket number against the official result for each prize tier. Match the full number for the first, second and third prizes; lower tiers are often decided by the last four digits. Always cross-check against the official Kerala State Lotteries result gazette before assuming a win, as unofficial lists can contain typing errors.

How and where to claim your prize

Prizes up to Rs 5,000 can be collected from any authorised Kerala lottery agent or seller, or at the District Lottery Office. For prizes above Rs 5,000, you must surrender the original winning ticket along with a claim form and a government photo ID at a bank or the District Lottery Office / Directorate, generally within 30 days of the draw date. Each of Kerala's 14 districts has a District Lottery Office that processes higher-value claims. Keep your ticket undamaged and sign the back before submission.

Tax and agent commission

Lottery winnings are subject to income tax (TDS) of about 30%, plus applicable surcharge and cess, which is deducted before the payout reaches you. Authorised agents earn roughly 10% commission on ticket sales. Tax rates and claim rules are set by the Government of Kerala and may change, so confirm the current position with the Directorate when you claim.

Verifying ticket authenticity

Use the official Kerala Lottery barcode scanner to check that your ticket is genuine, and match the numbers against the published result gazette. This protects you from fake or tampered tickets, especially for larger prizes.
