Ticket sales have officially rolled out across Kerala for the Pooja Bumper 2026, marking one of the state's most anticipated year-end lottery events. Operating under draw designation BR-112, the scheme carries an extensive prize purse totaling Rs 39.11 crore, headlined by a single jackpot worth Rs 12 crore. Authorised retail networks throughout the region have begun dispensing the newly issued entries across five designated series.
Draw Timing, Schedule and Venue Details
The conclusive selection for the bumper edition will take place on Saturday, November 28, commencing promptly at 2 PM. Official proceedings are slated to be hosted at Gorky Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram. Immediately following the completion of the physical draw mechanism, the Kerala State Lotteries Department plans to release the verified outcome through its formal communication channels for public scrutiny.
Pricing Structure and Circulation Volume
Each entry for the Pooja Bumper BR-112 is priced at Rs 300, an amount inclusive of mandatory tax liabilities. The issuance encompasses five separate alphanumeric series: JA, JB, JC, JD, and JE. To meet anticipated customer demand, the lottery authority capped overall circulation at a ceiling of 45 lakh tickets across these five brackets. Commercial availability opened on September 28, channeled strictly through verified local agents and licensed distribution points.
Breakdown of the Prize Distribution
While the singular Rs 12 crore windfall serves as the flagship incentive common across the entire pool, the framework incorporates a diverse range of secondary and tertiary rewards. The structured payouts announced for qualifying entries include
- First Prize: Rs 12 crore
- Second Prize: Rs 50 lakh
- Third Prize: Rs 5 lakh
- Fourth Prize: Rs 3 lakh
- Fifth Prize: Rs 2 lakh
- Consolation Prize: Rs 1 lakh
- Sixth Prize: Rs 5,000
- Seventh Prize: Rs 1,000
- Eighth Prize: Rs 500
- Ninth Prize: Rs 300
By establishing lower tiers down to Rs 300, the format ensures that a considerable number of ticket holders recover their baseline purchase expenditure even if they miss out on higher-tier windfalls.
Contextual Comparison With Thiruvonam Bumper
Within the calendar of seasonal sweepstakes administered by the provincial administration, the Pooja Bumper occupies a prominent year-end slot. Its headline jackpot of Rs 12 crore stands below the massive Rs 30 crore premier prize presented during the Thiruvonam Bumper 2026. Nevertheless, the substantial overall prize reservoir maintains its standing as one of the most widely circulated and commercially robust lottery ventures in the state.
