Over the years, Kerala Lottery winners have shared emotional stories — from paying off debts, funding cancer treatments, to rebuilding homes destroyed by floods. These stories highlight the real impact of a lottery win, beyond just the money. Today, someone else may be writing their own success story.

Over the years, the Dhanalekshmi DL series has turned many ordinary people into millionaires. From daily wage workers to shopkeepers and pensioners, winners have come from all walks of life. Some used their winnings for education, home building, or starting a business. Previous draws have seen winners from Malappuram, Kollam, Kozhikode, and more. Today’s draw continues that legacy. Will your number be next on the list of big winners?

All Kerala lottery winnings above Rs 10,000 are subject to 30% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) under Indian income tax law. The amount is automatically deducted before the prize money is disbursed. If the winning amount exceeds Rs 1 crore, a surcharge and cess may apply, further reducing the final payout. To claim your prize, a valid PAN card is mandatory. Winners should also report the prize amount in their annual income tax returns for compliance.

Before you rush to claim your prize, make sure to verify your ticket using the official Kerala Government Gazette notification. Cross-checking your ticket number against this source is the only way to confirm a genuine win. Avoid relying on third-party sites, SMS, or unverified sources that may lead to misinformation or scams. For added security, take a photo or photocopy of your winning ticket before submission. Double-check the date, draw number (DL-14), and ticket series.

Claiming your Kerala Lottery prize is a straightforward process, but must be done carefully to avoid delays. Winners are required to submit the original winning ticket, signed on the back, along with valid ID proof and a filled prize claim form. If your prize is above Rs 1 lakh, the claim must be made directly to the Directorate of State Lotteries, with additional documents like a PAN card and a passport-size photo attested by a gazetted officer. You must also attach a revenue stamp to your prize money receipt. All claims must be submitted within 30 days from the draw date.

Here’s a breakdown of how the Dhanalekshmi DL-14 prize pool is distributed. The first prize winner gets Rs 1 crore, while the second prize receives Rs 30 lakh, and the third prize gets Rs 5 lakh. The fourth to ninth prize tiers offer amounts ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 100. A consolation prize of Rs 5,000 is also awarded to those who missed the first prize by a whisker. Understanding the prize structure helps players know exactly what they’ve won and what to expect.
