Kerala Pooja Bumper 2026 (BR-112) — 28 November, ₹12 Crore First Prize & 9 Prize Tiers

Kerala's festive bumper for the Navarathri season is back. The Pooja Bumper 2026, draw number BR-112, carries a first prize of ₹12 Crore — the biggest single prize in Kerala's bumper calendar after the Onam Bumper — on a ticket that costs just ₹300. With up to 45 lakh tickets across five series, it is the draw Kerala ticket-holders wait for all autumn, and the one most likely to repeat the Onam Bumper's search surge.

One honest note before the details: the prize structure below is the announced scheme for BR-112. It has not yet been verified against the official gazette, which is published only after the draw. Treat this guide as the announced plan, and confirm every winning number against the official gazette on statelottery.kerala.gov.in before claiming anything.

The Draw

The draw takes place on Saturday, 28 November 2026, at 2:00 PM IST, at Gorky Bhavan, near Bakery Junction, Thiruvananthapuram. Ticket sales began on 28 September 2026 through authorised agents across Kerala at ₹300 per ticket. Our Kerala page will carry the result on draw afternoon, as soon as it is declared.

Unlike the daily Kerala lotteries, a bumper is a one-off festive scheme: one draw, one ticket run, and a prize pool far larger than any weekly game. That is why bumper weeks drive so much search — everyone holding a ticket checks on the same afternoon, and everyone who missed the ticket checks what they missed. If you follow Kerala's daily draws as well, our Kerala state guide explains all seven weekly lotteries in full.

Prize Structure: 9 Tiers

The scheme pays ten ranks in total: nine prize tiers plus a consolation rank. The winner amounts below are what the ticket holder receives.

Two details matter. First, the ₹12 Crore first prize is common to all series — a single winning number takes the top prize. Second, the lower tiers are where most winners sit: the 9th tier alone pays ₹300 — the ticket price back — on 1,40,400 tickets, and the 8th tier pays ₹500 on 1,29,600 more. Added up, the scheme carries 3,42,940 prizes worth ₹39,11,20,000 in total.

The 5 Series

Every Pooja Bumper ticket belongs to one of five series: JA, JB, JC, JD or JE. Up to 45 lakh tickets are printed across the five series. The series letters are only labels — no series is luckier than another — so check the full ticket number, series included, against the result. A ticket that matches the number but not the series is not a winner, and a ticket in the right series with the wrong number is not one either.

How to Check Your Result

On draw afternoon, check in this order. First, open our Kerala page, where the bumper result will appear with the rest of Kerala's draws. Second, run your number through our ticket checker, which matches it against every published tier at once. Third, before claiming anything, cross-check the winning number against the official gazette — the gazette is the final authority, and no reference page, including this one, replaces it.

Check your ticket against all ten ranks, not just the first prize. A ticket that misses the ₹12 Crore can still win ₹50 Lakh, ₹5 Lakh, or one of the 1,40,400 prizes of ₹300. And confirm the draw on the result you are reading: a Pooja Bumper ticket is valid for BR-112 on 28 November 2026 only, and older bumper numbers are worthless against this year's draw.

How to Claim Your Prize

The physical ticket is everything. Small prizes are typically paid through authorised sellers and agents. For larger prizes, the original ticket — with the reverse side filled in — plus identity verification must reach the Kerala State Lotteries Department under its claim rules. Prize claims are time-limited, so confirm the exact window and claim route from the official announcement for this draw rather than from rumour, and check promptly. Tax is deducted at source under the income-tax law before any prize is paid out, so the amount that reaches you is the prize minus applicable TDS.

Keep the ticket flat, dry and undamaged from the day you buy it. A mutilated or lost ticket cannot be claimed, and no photograph or photocopy substitutes for the original at the department. If you win a large prize, sign the reverse of the ticket and keep a clear photograph of both sides for your own records before you submit it.

Before You Play

Pooja Bumper tickets are paper tickets sold through authorised agents only. There is no official online sale, and anyone offering a digital-only ticket, or charging far above the ₹300 MRP, is not selling you a claimable ticket. Buy from an agent you can walk back to, check the MRP printed on the ticket, and keep the original safe.

Play responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. A bumper ticket is entertainment with a very long shot at a very large prize, not an investment and not a plan. Lottery play is for adults. This page is an unofficial reference; always verify winning tickets against the official gazette published by the Kerala State Lotteries Department before claiming any prize.
