Akshaya Lottery (AK): Old Results, Prizes and What Replaced It
The Akshaya lottery is no longer drawn: its last draw, AK-699, took place on Sunday 27 April 2025. Samrudhi took the Sunday slot with SM-1 on 4 May 2025. This page keeps every Akshaya result we hold, with the prizes, ticket letters and claim rules.
Is the Akshaya lottery still drawn today?
No. Akshaya ended with AK-699 on 27 April 2025, and Samrudhi is the Sunday lottery now. A search for “Akshaya lottery result today” therefore points to the Samrudhi draw. Samrudhi uses the code SM and restarted its numbering at SM-1.
Samrudhi is drawn every Sunday at 3:00 PM at Gorky Bhavan, near Bakery Junction, Thiruvananthapuram. The official YouTube channel streams each draw live.

These counts cover 117 draws from 25 May 2022 to 27 April 2025, with 31,707 winning numbers in total. The archive grows as more official sheets are added. Each draw page reproduces the official result sheet for that date.
Why do some Akshaya dates have no result here?
Some sheets are not yet in our copy of the official archive. The table shows only draws whose official sheet we hold. A missing week is a gap in our copy, not a cancelled draw.
Which lottery replaced Akshaya?
Samrudhi replaced Akshaya on Sunday. The official sheets record AK-699 as the last Akshaya draw and SM-1 as the first Samrudhi draw. The table compares the two from the official sheets and notifications.
| Attribute | Akshaya | Samrudhi |
|---|---|---|
| Draw code | AK (AK-699 was the last) | SM (SM-1 was the first) |
| Ticket letter | A | M |
| Draw day at the switch | Sunday | Sunday |
| Last or first draw | 27 April 2025 | 4 May 2025 |
| First prize | ₹70 lakh | ₹1 crore |
| Ticket price | ₹40 | ₹50 |
Onmanorama reported the move to a ₹50 ticket and a ₹1 crore first prize on 30 April 2025. Three more lotteries were replaced in the same fortnight: Win-Win, Nirmal and Fifty-Fifty.
What was the Akshaya draw code and ticket letter?
The Akshaya draw code was AK, followed by the draw number, as in AK-699. Every Akshaya ticket started with the letter A. The second letter was the series.
- Every Akshaya ticket starts with the letter A. The second letter is the series.
- AK-699 used 12 series: AA, AB, AC, AD, AE, AF, AG, AH, AJ, AK, AL, AM.
- The series alternate each week: AK-698 used AN to AZ. So a ticket from one week cannot be confused with the next week’s.
- After the two letters comes a 6-digit number: the AK-699 first-prize ticket was AM 602570. Lower prizes are won on the last 4 digits (2570).
Was AK an Akshaya series as well as the code?
Yes. AK was one of the 24 Akshaya series, in the AA to AM half. AK-631 of 24 December 2023 used that half, AA to AM. The series ran without AI and AQ.
How do you read an old Akshaya ticket?
An Akshaya ticket carries 3 identifiers. They are the draw code with its number, the draw date, and the ticket number. The ticket number is 2 letters and 6 digits, such as AB 227161.
Which day was Akshaya drawn on?
Akshaya was drawn on Wednesday in the older sheets and on Sunday in its final years. The draw time was 3 PM at Gorky Bhavan in every stored sheet. The last draw, AK-699, fell on Sunday 27 April 2025.
| Evidence | Draw | Date | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 notification, AK-489 onwards | AK-489 onwards | 2 February 2021 order | Every Wednesday |
| Oldest stored sheet | AK-550 | 25 May 2022 | Wednesday |
| Last Wednesday sheet stored | AK-557 | 13 July 2022 | Wednesday |
| First Sunday sheet stored | AK-578 | 11 December 2022 | Sunday |
| Last Akshaya sheet | AK-699 | 27 April 2025 | Sunday |
Some results sites still describe Akshaya as a Wednesday lottery. That was true of the older sheets only. Fifty-Fifty went the other way: its stored sheets move from Sunday to Wednesday.
What did the Akshaya lottery pay?
Akshaya paid a ₹70 lakh first prize, a ₹5 lakh second prize and ₹1 lakh third prizes. The lower prizes ran from ₹5,000 down to ₹100. The table comes from the latest Akshaya result sheet we hold.

How were the lower Akshaya prizes drawn?
The 4th to 8th prizes were won on the last 4 digits. The 2021 notification sets the draws: 18 times for ₹5,000 and 7 times for ₹2,000. It sets 26 times for ₹1,000, 72 times for ₹500 and 123 times for ₹100.
How much did an Akshaya ticket cost?
An Akshaya ticket cost ₹40, made up of ₹31.25 face value plus 28% GST. The 2021 notification, order SLTY/172(3)/2021-S1, fixed this maximum retail price. Tickets came in 12 series and books of 25 tickets.
Was agent commission taken from Akshaya prizes?
Yes. The 2021 notification deducted 12% of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes as agents’ commission. The 4th to 7th prizes and the consolation prize carried 12% from a Government fund. The 8th prize carried 20%.
Where were Akshaya first prizes sold?
Akshaya first prizes were sold in towns across Kerala, named on each result sheet. Each sheet prints a place name beside the first-prize ticket. The table counts those places over the sheets we hold.
| Place | First prizes |
|---|---|
| Thiruvananthapuram | 10 |
| Chittur | 9 |
| Kottayam | 9 |
| Ernakulam | 6 |
| Irinjalakuda | 6 |
| Kollam | 6 |
| Neyyattinkara | 6 |
| Wayanadu | 6 |
| Alappuzha | 5 |
| Pathanamthitta | 5 |
The place is where the ticket was sold, not where the winner lives. The full list per draw is in the archive above.
How do you check an old Akshaya ticket?
To check an old Akshaya ticket, find its draw code in the archive, then compare the number. The draw code is printed on the ticket, such as AK-630. The steps below cover every prize tier.
- Read the draw code and date on the ticket.
- Find that code in the archive table above.
- Open the draw page from the code.
- Compare the full ticket number with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
- Compare the 6 digits with the first prize for the consolation prize.
- Compare the last 4 digits with the 4th to 8th prize lists.
The Kerala lottery ticket checker searches only draws from the last 90 days. Old Akshaya tickets fall outside it, so the archive is the place to check them.
Can an old Akshaya ticket still be claimed?
No. The claim period for every Akshaya draw ended in 2025. A prize is claimed within 90 days of its draw. The last Akshaya draw, on 27 April 2025, closed for claims in late July 2025.
The claim limit changed shortly before Akshaya ended. Stored sheets from 2022 and 2023 print “within 30 days”. Sheets print 90 days from Karunya KR-698 on 22 March 2025. The Kerala Paper Lotteries (Regulation) Amendment Rules 2024 set that limit.
Unclaimed prize money becomes the property of the Government. The steps for a current ticket are in the guide on how to claim a Kerala lottery prize.
What does Akshaya bhagyakuri mean?
Akshaya bhagyakuri means the Akshaya lottery, since bhagyakuri is the Malayalam word for lottery. The search “Akshaya bhagyakuri result” asks for the same results as this page. The word itself is explained on the page about what bhagyakuri means.
Did an Akshaya ticket win in a Samrudhi draw?
No. A ticket wins only in the draw printed on it. An Akshaya ticket carried an AK code and its own date. A Samrudhi draw checks only SM tickets for that date.
Sunday’s current result, with every prize tier, is on the Samrudhi lottery result today page.
Is an Akshaya lottery website or agency official?
No. No website sells Kerala lottery tickets, and private agencies named Akshaya are not the department. The Lottery Director said in October 2025 that tickets are sold only by authorised agents and sellers in Kerala. The department’s own site is statelottery.kerala.gov.in.
Kerala Police warned in July 2026 that fake sites copy the official design and emblem. Any fee demand to release a prize is a scam, according to Kerala Police.
