The Kerala State Lotteries department held the Karunya Plus KN-610 bumper draw on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Gorky Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram, near Bakery Junction. The top prize structure for the draw is listed as ₹1 crore for first prize, ₹30 lakh for second prize and ₹5 lakh for third prize; the winning numbers for these top prizes were marked “to be announced shortly” in the official bulletin provided with the draw. Readers who participated in the draw should check the Kerala State Lotteries’ official release or authorised news outlets for the confirmed winning numbers and claim procedures once the department publishes them.
Kerala’s lottery system, first introduced by the state government in 1967, remains one of India’s oldest and most widely recognised state-run schemes. Launched under the leadership of then–Finance Minister P. K. Kunju, the lottery was designed to provide employment opportunities, generate non-tax revenue for social welfare programs and offer a legal alternative to unregulated private lotteries. Over the decades the Kerala model has been cited as an example for other states that later adopted similar, government-run lottery programmes.
The Kerala State Lotteries department runs daily, weekly and seasonal “bumper” draws; presently the system comprises seven weekly lotteries, a monthly draw and six bumper lotteries staged at key festivals and seasons such as Christmas, Vishu and Onam. Regular draws for the weekly series are conducted publicly at 3:00 PM daily at Gorky Bhavan, reinforcing the department’s emphasis on transparency. Results are officially published and audited by the department, which the administration cites as a reason for the scheme’s relatively high public trust.
Players are reminded that lotteries are games of chance and can be addictive. This report is informational only; it does not promote gambling. For official results, prize verification and claim instructions, consult the Kerala State Lotteries’ official announcements and authorised news sources.
