Sthree Sakthi Prize Structure & Ticket Price Explained
How is the Sthree Sakthi (SS) prize table built, and what does a ticket cost? The team at Dhani Game explains the tier structure in plain language — without quoting any figure as today's fact. Amounts are set by the state and can change, so treat everything here as a general shape and confirm the official Kerala State Lotteries source before you rely on a number.
Quick answer
Sthree Sakthi uses a tiered prize structure: one first prize, a consolation prize, and several lower tiers with smaller amounts and more winners. The ticket is a low-cost weekly buy, typically only a few tens of rupees. Exact amounts and prices are set by the state and can change — always confirm the official Kerala State Lotteries source before buying or claiming.
How the Prize Structure Works
Kerala tickets, including Sthree Sakthi, share a familiar tiered shape set by the Kerala State Lotteries department. At the top sits a single first prize for one winning ticket number. There is usually a consolation prize for tickets that share the first-prize number but a different series. Below that come a run of lower tiers — second, third and downward — where the amounts get progressively smaller but the number of winners grows, right down to modest prizes matched on the last few digits of the ticket number.
This structure is why so many tickets win something small even though the headline prize goes to just one number. The table below shows the shape of the tiers only — it deliberately contains no rupee figures, because those are decided by the state and can be revised:
| Tier | Winners | Relative amount |
|---|---|---|
| First prize | One ticket number | Largest |
| Consolation | Same number, other series | Fixed, modest |
| Second / third tiers | A handful each | Stepping down |
| Middle tiers | Many | Smaller |
| Lowest tiers | Most winners | Smallest, last-digit match |

The First Prize — In Context
Historically, the top prize on weekly Kerala tickets has sat in the tens of lakhs range before tax and agent commission are applied. That is context, not a quote: the exact first-prize figure is decided by the state and can be revised, and any advertised amount is shown before applicable deductions. So if you see a specific number floating around online, treat it as indicative and confirm the current figure on the official source rather than taking it as fact.
Ticket Price, Draw Day & Time
Kerala keeps its weekly tickets deliberately affordable — a Sthree Sakthi ticket typically costs only a few tens of rupees, with the exact price set by the state and printed on the ticket itself. Buy only from a licensed agent, and check the printed price rather than paying a marked-up amount.
Sthree Sakthi is drawn on its own fixed weekday, with the result usually declared around 3 PM IST.

Tax, Deductions and What You Actually Receive
A headline prize figure is never the amount that lands in a winner's hands. Two things reduce it. First, lottery winnings in India attract tax deducted at source on prizes above the statutory threshold. Second, agent commission is applied as part of the payout structure. So a prize advertised at a round number is received net of these deductions, which is exactly why we describe amounts as "before tax and commission" throughout this guide.
The precise rates and thresholds are set by law and can change, so treat this as general context rather than a current quote, and confirm the applicable figures through official guidance before counting on any net amount.
Understanding the Odds Honestly
The tiered structure is designed so that a large number of tickets win a small prize, which keeps the format engaging. But it is important to be clear-eyed: far more tickets are sold than there are prizes, so the normal outcome for any single ticket is winning nothing. Buying more tickets adds more chances but never guarantees a win — and it increases your spend. There is no system, pattern or "lucky agent" that changes the underlying odds. A lottery is entertainment with a chance of a prize, not a way to earn.
A Fast Alternative Between Draws
A weekly ticket means a long wait for a single result. If you simply enjoy the lottery format, the Dhani Game Wingo lottery draws a fresh result every 60 seconds with payouts in INR — a play-anytime option we describe in waiting for the lottery result? play an instant game. To be clear, Wingo is a separate online game of chance and is not connected to the Kerala lottery, and it does not offer guaranteed winnings.
Play responsibly
A lottery is a game of chance — most tickets win nothing and losses are the normal outcome. There are no guaranteed winnings, and advertised prizes are before tax and deductions. You must be 18 or older to play. If ticket spending ever creeps beyond what you planned, the signs of problem gambling are worth knowing. Set a budget and read our responsible gaming page first.
