0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

The Kerala state government has announced the winning numbers for its Karunya Plus KN-636 lottery draw, held on August 13, 2026, with a first prize of Rs 1 crore going to the holder of the winning ticket.

Karunya Plus is one of several regular lottery games operated by the Kerala state lottery department, which has run various draws for decades as part of its state revenue and welfare programme.

This latest result comes shortly after two other notable draws. On August 12, the Dhanalekshmi DL-65 lottery held its 3 pm draw, in which the first prize of Rs 1 crore was also awarded.

Similarly, on August 7, the Suvarna Keralam SK-64 draw produced a first-prize winner holding ticket number RT 467887, who also claimed Rs 1 crore.

Each of these lottery games follows its own weekly schedule and carries a distinct prize structure, though the top prize across many of these draws is commonly set at Rs 1 crore.

Following each draw, Kerala's lottery department publishes a full list of winning numbers across multiple prize tiers, allowing ticket holders across the state to check their results and pursue the official claims process if they hold a winning number.

The Kerala lottery remains one of the most established and widely followed state-run lottery systems in India, drawing significant public interest due to its frequent draws and the possibility of substantial cash prizes for ordinary ticket buyers.
