Sthree Sakthi Prize Structure and Ticket Price Explained
The Sthree Sakthi prize structure and ticket price follow the standard Kerala State Lotteries pattern: a face-value ticket, a tiered prize ladder from the first prize down to small last-four-digit prizes, and deductions on winnings. This 66 Club Lottery guide explains how the tiers are built and why you should always confirm the current figures on the official sheet.
Quick Answer: How the Prizes Are Built
A Sthree Sakthi (SS) ticket has a printed face value, and the draw pays out across a ladder of prize tiers — one big first prize, a consolation prize, then second, third, and a run of lower tiers down to small prizes decided on the last four digits. The exact rupee amounts are set by the Kerala State Lotteries Department and are revised from time to time, so treat any figure you see as needing confirmation on the official sheet.
This guide pairs with our Sthree Sakthi result guide (draw day and how to check) and the Kerala weekly draw schedule.
How the SS Prize Tiers Are Organised
Kerala weekly tickets share a common tier shape. The structure below is the general pattern — the amounts change, so confirm the current values officially:
| Tier | How it is decided | Note |
|---|---|---|
| First prize | Full ticket number match | The headline amount |
| Consolation prize | Same number, other series | Smaller, for near-miss series |
| 2nd / 3rd prize | Full ticket number match | Set per draw |
| 4th to 8th (lower tiers) | Often last four digits | Many smaller winners |
| Smallest tier | Last four digits | The most common small prize |
Because several lower tiers depend only on the last four digits, many tickets win a small prize even when they miss the big ones. Always match your number in tier order, exactly as we describe in the result-check routine.
Ticket Price and Where to Buy
A Sthree Sakthi ticket carries a printed face value plus an applicable service charge, all shown on the ticket. A few honest points:
- Price is printed on the ticket. Do not trust a price quoted verbally that is higher than the printed value.
- Buy from authorised agents only. Kerala tickets are sold through official agents; avoid unknown online resellers charging a premium.
- Keep the original safe. The physical ticket is your only proof for a claim — protect it from damage.
- Prices change. Face values are revised periodically, so check the current printed figure.
Why Last-Four-Digit Tiers Win Most Often
The part of the structure that surprises new players is how many small prizes there are. The headline first prize needs your full ticket number to match, which is why it is so rare. The lower tiers, by contrast, are usually decided on just the last four digits — and many ticket numbers share the same last four digits, so far more people win at those levels.
- Full-number tiers (first, second, third) are the big, rare wins.
- Last-four-digit tiers are the small, common wins — the ones most tickets have a realistic shot at.
- Always scan every tier before setting a ticket aside; it is easy to miss a small win by only checking the top prize.
This is also why "I nearly won" is so common and so misleading: matching most of a number is not a partial win, because prizes are defined by exact rules, not near-misses. Match your number in tier order exactly as the SS result guide describes.
Tax and Deductions on Winnings
The advertised prize is not always the amount in hand. Under Indian tax rules, larger lottery winnings attract income tax deducted at source, and authorised-agent commission may also apply. So a headline first prize is reduced by applicable tax and charges before payout. For the exact current rules, rely on the official department guidance and prevailing tax law — not a forwarded message.
Always Confirm the Current Figures
We deliberately do not print specific rupee amounts here, because Kerala revises them and a stale figure would mislead you. The safe habit: read the current official result sheet and price for your draw. Anyone quoting a "guaranteed" amount, or asking for a fee to release winnings, is running a scam — see our safety review for how to spot the red flags.

Frequently Asked Questions
›How much does a Sthree Sakthi ticket cost?
Kerala lottery ticket prices are set by the Kerala State Lotteries Department and printed on the ticket face, with a face value plus applicable service charge. Prices are revised periodically, so check the current printed price on the ticket or the official source rather than assuming an old figure.
›How is the Sthree Sakthi prize structure organised?
Kerala tickets use a tiered structure: a first prize, then a consolation prize, followed by second, third, and several lower tiers down to small prizes decided on the last four digits. The exact amounts are set by the department and change from time to time, so confirm the current sheet.
›Is tax deducted from a Kerala lottery prize?
Yes. Larger prizes attract income tax deducted at source under Indian tax law, and agent commission may also apply. The advertised prize figure is not always the amount you receive in hand. For exact rules, refer to the official department guidance and current tax law.
›Does 66 Club Lottery sell Sthree Sakthi tickets?
No. 66 Club Lottery is an online gaming platform and guide, not a Kerala lottery agent. Kerala State Lottery tickets are sold through authorised agents. We only explain how the prize structure and ticket price generally work, and we do not fake any numbers.
›How long do I have to claim a Sthree Sakthi prize?
Kerala lottery prizes are generally claimed within a fixed window from the draw date, commonly around 30 days, by submitting the original winning ticket with valid ID to the appropriate authority. Never pay a fee to release a prize — that is always a scam.
›Why do so many tickets win a small prize?
Because the lower tiers are usually decided on just the last four digits of the ticket number, and many tickets share the same last four digits. The big prizes need a full-number match and are rare, but the small last-four-digit prizes are far more common, so it is worth scanning every tier before setting a ticket aside.
›Does matching most of the number win a partial prize?
No. Kerala prizes are defined by exact rules — a full-number match for the top tiers and specific digit matches for the lower ones. There is no “partial” or “near-miss” prize for getting most of the number right, so always check against the exact tier conditions on the official sheet.
Conclusion
The Sthree Sakthi prize structure is a tiered ladder from a first prize down to small last-four-digit prizes, on a face-value ticket, with tax and charges deducted from larger wins. The one rule that never changes: confirm the current amounts on the official Kerala sheet.
