Kerala's Thiruvonam Bumper 2024 lottery draw with Rs 25 crore first prize to be held in Thiruvananthapuram.
It’s that time of the year in Kerala. The much-awaited draw for Kerala’s Thiruvonam Bumper 2024 lottery is slated to be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday (October 9, 2024) in Thiruvananthapuram.
With each ticket priced at ₹500, the mega bumper offers eye-popping first prize of ₹25 crore this year. Kerala Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal will take part in the draw.
Even as over 71 lakh tickets are believed to have been sold by the State Lotteries department, Palakkad district leads in the maximum number of tickets bought, with over 13 lakh tickets sold here. This is followed by Thiruvananthapuram district where over 9 lakh tickets were sold.
Apart from the bumper first prize, Thiruvonam Bumper includes a second prize of Rs 2 crore for 20 winners and a third prize of ₹50 lakh for 20 winners, apart from other prizes. The total prize money for this year’s bumper lottery touches ₹125 crore.
In 2023, the Thiruvonam Bumper lottery, which carried a first prize of ₹25 crore, was reportedly shared among four people from Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu for the ticket number TE 230662.
As many lottery winners are quite unaware of the taxation rules, the State Lotteries department had organised a session for first prize winners in 2023.
