The procedure for drawing the prize-winning tickets or prize winners
Kerala Lotteries Draw System: The Government appoints a panel of judges and the draws are conducted under the supervision of the panel. The panel selects one among them as Chairman/Chairperson. The draw is conducted by operating the draw machine based on random technology or in the case of contingency, using drums and coins, as the case may be.
The draw shall be commenced only after convincing the panel of judges and spectators about the modus operandi of the draw machine. All the spectators shall be convinced that all digits/alphabet representing ticket number and series respectively are stuck on the wheel fixed on the shaft by manually rotating it. A digital photograph will be taken along with the recording of the drawing process using a digital camera or a suitable device. The drawing machine will be operated by pressing the switch. The motor will be operated for five seconds for drawing every single prize number/number. The prize-winning ticket is taken after pressing the switch by the members of the panel of Judges or the public. Then the disk engraved/stuck with series and digits rotates and comes to a standstill when a particular number appears on the slots provided for the display of selected prize numbers. All other prizes are also drawn in a similar manner based on the prize structure of the lottery. For selecting the consecutive prize numbers, all other windows except the one which is to be used for selecting a particular prize number/numbers shall be covered by shutters. Prizes shall be drawn either in ascending or descending order. When a prize number is selected, the officer in charge of declaring the result should announce the number. The personnel deputed from the Department of Lotteries shall then verify whether the drawn number is sold or unsold. If the selected number is unsold the draw procedure of that particular number will be repeated till a new number is exposed in the windows. If any number is found repetitive that number will invariably be canceled and the draw will be repeated. On announcing the prize number the officer in charge of documenting the prize number shall document this in a prize register and Judges will subsequently verify this according to their signatures on it. When the draw is completed the prize register thus prepared will be authenticated by every Judge present at the draw of the Lottery.
In case of any contingency, such as a technical error in draw machines or shortage of draw machine is occurred, the method of draw using drums and coins, as described below shall be used:
There shall be seven rotatable drums, which are operated by the staff of the Lotteries Department. The First drum represents the series of lottery, and the rests represent the digits from lakhs to units. Plastic tokens engraved with series, for eg.) PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF, PG, PH, PJ, PK, PL, PM shall be deposited in the series drum and similar tokens engraved with the digits 0-9 shall be deposited in the other drums. All the tokens shall be concealed in plastic purses which can be opened by hand. Before the beginning of the draw, the Judges shall inspect the empty drums, purses, and tokens. The tokens shall then be thrust into the plastic purses and deposited into the drums one by one. Then all the drums shall simultaneously be rotated so that the tokens in plastic purses may get shuffled within the drums. The drums shall be operated by persons duly authorized by the Director of State Lotteries. Thereafter, the Chairman shall open the drums after removing the lid and take one token from the purse and show it to the audience. It shall be recorded on the display board as well as in the register kept by the Lotteries Department which shall be attested by the panel of Judges.
Accordingly, a series with six-digit numbers shall be formed and announced as a prize-winning number. Based on the prize structure of the lottery the remaining other prizes are also drawn in a similar manner.
