Thiruvonam Bumper 2026: Official Prize Structure, Series & Release Timetable

The Directorate of Kerala State Lotteries has officially announced the complete structure and prize allocation schedule for the upcoming Thiruvonam Bumper draw. Renowned as India’s highest-prize state-administered lottery, the 2026 edition continues the historic first prize benchmark of INR 25 Crore.

A notable highlight in this year’s release is the broad distribution across intermediate prize tiers. Beyond the top jackpot, twenty individual winners will each receive a second prize of INR 1 Crore across distinct ticket series, alongside twenty third-prize winners of INR 50 Lakhs.

According to official department releases, tickets are printed with high-security features including micro-lettering, invisible fluorescent ink patterns, and cryptographic QR tracking to prevent counterfeiting and safeguard ticket holders.

Draw proceedings will take place at Gorky Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram under the direct supervision of the appointed judging panel and public observers. As with all Kerala State Lotteries, official result gazettes will be published on the LOTIS portal immediately following the draw.

Winners are reminded that claim documentation for prizes exceeding INR 1 Lakh must be presented to the Directorate of State Lotteries or designated nationalized banks within 90 days from the date of the draw.
