Christmas-New Year Bumper 2026

What is the Christmas-New Year Bumper?

The Christmas-New Year Bumper is the Kerala State Lottery’s winter bumper, drawn in January or February. Its tickets sell over Christmas. Its first prize was ₹20 crore in each of the last three editions. Its tickets start with the letter X.

The official name changes with each edition. The government notification calls the 2025-26 edition “X’Mas – New Year Bumper Lottery 2025-26 (BR-107)”. The result sheet shortens it to X MAS NEW YEAR BUMPER. One edition spans two calendar years. Searches for “Christmas Bumper 2026” and “New Year Bumper 2026” mean the same lottery.

The Christmas-New Year Bumper is one of 6 Kerala bumpers a year. The others are the Summer, Vishu, Monsoon, Thiruvonam and Pooja Bumpers. Each bumper draw gets a code starting with BR.

When is the Christmas-New Year Bumper drawn?

The Christmas-New Year Bumper is drawn in late January or early February, at 2 PM. The draw takes place at Gorky Bhavan, near Bakery Junction, Thiruvananthapuram. The last three editions were drawn on these dates:

• BR-95 (2023-24): Wednesday 24 January 2024.
• BR-101 (2024-25): Wednesday 5 February 2025.
• BR-107 (2025-26): Saturday 24 January 2026.

The 2026-27 edition gets its date in its government notification. The date is printed on every ticket. A next-draw box appears at the top of this page once the draw is in our calendar.

What time does the Christmas-New Year Bumper result sheet come out?

What did the 2025-26 notification fix for price, tickets and prize money?

The 2025-26 notification fixed a ₹400 ticket, 90 lakh tickets and ₹93.22 crore in prize money. The Government of Kerala published it in the Kerala Gazette on 19 November 2025. It is G.O.(P) No.195/2025/TAXES.

• Ticket price: ₹400, made up of ₹285.72 plus 40% Goods and Services Tax.

• Gross value of the tickets: ₹2,57,14,80,000.

• Series: 10, from XA to XL: XA, XB, XC, XD, XE, XG, XH, XJ, XK and XL.

The Lotteries (Regulation) Rules, 2010 require the organising state to announce these details in advance. The notification names the Kerala State Lottery Agents’ and Sellers’ Welfare Fund Board as the distributor. Onmanorama reported the same ₹400 price and 90 lakh print run.

What is the Christmas-New Year Bumper prize structure?

The Christmas-New Year Bumper has 10 prize tiers plus a consolation prize. It is the only Kerala bumper in our sheets with a 10th prize. The BR-107 notification lists them as follows.

• 1st prize: ₹20 crore, 1 ticket across all series.
• 2nd prize: ₹1 crore, 20 tickets across all series.
• 3rd prize: ₹10 lakh, 20 tickets, two in each series.
• 4th prize: ₹3 lakh, 20 tickets, two in each series.
• 5th prize: ₹2 lakh, 20 tickets, two in each series.
• 6th prize: ₹5,000, last four digits drawn 25 times.
• 7th prize: ₹2,000, last four digits drawn 54 times.
• 8th prize: ₹1,000, last four digits drawn 90 times.
• 9th prize: ₹500, last four digits drawn 252 times.
• 10th prize: ₹400, last four digits drawn 270 times.
• Consolation prize: ₹1 lakh, 9 tickets.

The consolation prize goes to the first-prize number in the 9 other series. When XC 138455 won BR-107, XA 138455 and XB 138455 each won ₹1 lakh. The 10th prize of ₹400 equals the ticket price.

How many tickets share a last-four-digit prize?

Up to 900 tickets share each four-digit ending. 90 lakh tickets divided by 10,000 possible endings gives 900 tickets per ending. That is why the notification lists the 6th prize as “up to 22,500” prizes: 25 draws times 900 tickets. The notification gives these counts as maximums.

Which tickets won the last three Christmas-New Year Bumpers?

The last three ₹20 crore first prizes went to XC 224091, XD 387132 and XC 138455. The official sheets give the ticket and the place of sale, never the winner’s name.

• BR-95 (24 January 2024): XC 224091, sold in Palakkad. BR-95 official sheet.
• BR-101 (5 February 2025): XD 387132, sold in Kannur. BR-101 official sheet.
• BR-107 (24 January 2026): XC 138455, sold in Kottayam. BR-107 official sheet.

Two of the three winning tickets came from the XC series. The BR-107 second prizes started with XA 226117, sold in Pathanamthitta. The top amounts stayed the same in all three editions: ₹20 crore, ₹1 crore and ₹1 lakh.

How do you check a Christmas-New Year Bumper ticket?

A Christmas-New Year Bumper ticket is checked against the official sheet of its own BR code. The full number decides the top 5 prizes. The last four digits decide the 6th to 10th prizes.

1. Find the BR code and draw date on the ticket.
2. Match the series letters and six digits against the 1st to 5th prize lists.
3. Compare the six digits alone with the first-prize number for the consolation prize.
4. Match the last four digits against the 6th to 10th prize lists.
5. Confirm the result on the LOTIS public result page. The Bhagya Keralam app checks the ticket’s QR code.

The checker at the end of this page reads both full numbers and four-digit endings. The Kerala lottery ticket checker covers weekly and bumper draws together.

How much of the ₹20 crore first prize reaches the winner?

About ₹12.60 crore of the ₹20 crore first prize reaches the winner, by our estimate. The agent’s commission is deducted first. Tax at 30% is then deducted at source.

The same method gives about ₹63 lakh from a ₹1 crore second prize. TDS applies to every prize above ₹10,000, under Section 393(3) of the Income-tax Act 2025 (formerly Section 194B). The Kerala lottery tax calculator shows each step for any amount.

The ₹20 crore first prize is claimed with the Director of State Lotteries in Thiruvananthapuram. The ₹1 crore second prizes go to the Deputy Director. The ₹10 lakh third prizes go to a District Lottery Office. The Kerala Paper Lotteries (Regulation) Amendment Rules 2024 set these limits in Rule 9. A bank can present the claim for the winner. The ticket is surrendered within 90 days of the draw, as the sheet states. The documents are listed in how to claim a Kerala lottery prize.

How is the Christmas-New Year Bumper different from a weekly lottery?

The Christmas-New Year Bumper pays a second prize equal to a weekly first prize. Its 20 second prizes are ₹1 crore each. Every weekly Kerala lottery pays ₹1 crore as its first prize.

• Price: ₹400 against ₹50, 8 times a weekly ticket.
• Time: 2 PM against 3:00 PM for the weekly draws.
• Series: 10 X series against 12 series in each weekly draw.
• Frequency: once a year against once a week.

Does the Christmas-New Year Bumper replace a weekly draw?

Yes. The 24 January 2026 draw took the Saturday slot of Karunya. The official sheets jump from Suvarna Keralam on 23 January to Samrudhi on 25 January. No Karunya sheet exists for 24 January 2026.

How do you avoid fake Christmas Bumper offers?

Fake Christmas Bumper offers are avoided by buying only paper tickets from authorised sellers in Kerala. There is no official online sale. The Lottery Director stated in October 2025 that the department has no tie-up with any website or app.

Kerala Police reported 60 fake lottery apps and 20 fake websites in August 2024. Those sites sold fake ₹40 tickets. They then demanded GST or stamp duty to release fake ₹5 lakh wins. Kerala Police warned in July 2026 that fake sites copy the official emblem. Report any fee demand on helpline 1930.

Searches show a separate “Dear Xmas Bumper” lottery. That is not a Kerala State Lottery. Every Kerala bumper carries a BR draw code and the Kerala State Lotteries name. More checks are on is a Kerala lottery real or fake.

Which bumpers come before and after the Christmas-New Year Bumper?

The Pooja Bumper comes before it, and the Summer Bumper follows it. The Pooja Bumper BR-112 is drawn on 28 November 2026. The Summer Bumper was drawn in late March or early April in each of the last three years.

The next bumper draw is the Pooja Bumper BR-112 on 28 November 2026 at 2:00 PM. That is 54 days away. Pooja Bumper draw date and prize structure.
