Thiruvananthapuram: The much-awaited Kerala State Lotteries Thiruvonam Bumper 2026 draw is being held today, September 26, with a massive first prize of ₹30 crore. The bumper lottery has generated considerable excitement among lottery enthusiasts across Kerala, with thousands of tickets sold in the run-up to the draw.
This year’s Thiruvonam Bumper has an attractive prize structure, with the first-prize amount reaching ₹30 crore. While the headline figure is ₹30 crore, the actual amount received by the winner will be lower after applicable deductions.
How Much Will the ₹30 Crore Winner Get?
A ₹30 crore lottery prize does not mean that the winner will receive the entire amount in their bank account. Prize-related deductions, including the agent’s commission and applicable income tax, have to be accounted for.
Based on the calculation provided for the ₹30 crore first prize, the split-up is as follows:
Particulars Amount
First Prize ₹30,00,00,000
Agent Commission – 10% ₹3,00,00,000
Amount after Agent Commission ₹27,00,00,000
Income Tax – 30% ₹8,10,00,000
Net Amount to Winner ₹18,90,00,000
Accordingly, from the headline prize of ₹30 crore, the winner would receive approximately ₹18.90 crore after the deductions shown above.
₹3 Crore Agent Commission
The calculation includes a 10% agent commission on the prize amount, which comes to ₹3 crore on a ₹30 crore first prize.
After deducting this amount, the prize amount considered in the calculation becomes ₹27 crore.
₹8.10 Crore Income Tax
At a 30% income-tax calculation on ₹27 crore, the tax component works out to ₹8.10 crore.
Therefore:
₹30 crore – ₹3 crore agent commission – ₹8.10 crore income tax = ₹18.90 crore
The winner would thus be left with ₹18 crore 90 lakh under this calculation.
