The Kerala lottery runs on a simple rhythm: one weekly lottery for every day of the week, plus a handful of bumper lotteries through the year. Knowing which lottery belongs to which day makes it much easier to find the right result for your ticket.
The seven weekly lotteries
According to the regular schedule used in the Ponkudam app, each day has its own lottery:
| Day | Lottery |
|---|---|
| Monday | Bhagyathara |
| Tuesday | Sthree Sakthi |
| Wednesday | Dhanalekshmi |
| Thursday | Karunya Plus |
| Friday | Suvarna Keralam |
| Saturday | Karunya |
| Sunday | Samrudhi |
Each weekly lottery has its own short code that appears in the draw code — for example a Dhanalekshmi draw is shown as DL-61, where 61 is the draw number. The draw number increases with every new draw of that lottery, so the code tells you exactly which draw a result belongs to.
The six bumper lotteries
On top of the weekly draws, the Lottery Department runs six bumper lotteries:
- Christmas–New Year (X-Mas New Year) Bumper
- Summer Bumper
- Vishu Bumper
- Monsoon Bumper
- Thiruvonam Bumper
- Pooja Bumper
Bumpers are special draws held a few times a year rather than every week. On Ponkudam's Recent Results page, bumper draws are shown in red so they stand out from the weekly draws — the same colour the Ponkudam app uses.
