Nirmal Lottery (NR) Result Archive: Prizes, Bhagyakuri and Successor

The Nirmal lottery is no longer drawn: its last draw, NR-429, took place on Friday 25 April 2025. Suvarna Keralam took the Friday slot with SK-1 on 2 May 2025. This page keeps every Nirmal result we hold, with the prizes, ticket letters and claim rules.

Is the Nirmal lottery still drawn today?

No. Nirmal ended with NR-429 on 25 April 2025, and Suvarna Keralam is the Friday lottery now. A search for “Nirmal lottery result today” therefore points to the Suvarna Keralam draw. Suvarna Keralam uses the code SK and restarted its numbering at SK-1.

Suvarna Keralam is drawn every Friday at 3:00 PM at Gorky Bhavan, near Bakery Junction, Thiruvananthapuram. The official YouTube channel streams each draw live.

Where are all the old Nirmal lottery results?

All the Nirmal results we hold are in the archive table below, one row per draw, newest first. Each row gives the date, the draw code, the first-prize ticket and the place printed beside it. The draw code opens the full result with every prize tier.

These counts cover 116 draws from 27 May 2022 to 25 April 2025, with 32,480 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 Nirmal 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 Nirmal?

Suvarna Keralam replaced Nirmal on Friday. The official sheets record NR-429 as the last Nirmal draw and SK-1 as the first Suvarna Keralam draw. The table compares the two from the official sheets and notifications.

Attribute	Nirmal	Suvarna Keralam
Draw code	NR (NR-429 was the last)	SK (SK-1 was the first)
Ticket letter	N	R
Draw day	Friday	Friday
Last or first draw	25 April 2025	2 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, Akshaya and Fifty-Fifty.

What does Nirmal bhagyakuri mean?

Nirmal bhagyakuri means the Nirmal lottery, since bhagyakuri is the Malayalam word for lottery. The Directorate’s own orders call it നിർമ്മൽ പ്രതിവാര ഭാഗ്യക്കുറി, the Nirmal weekly lottery. The search “Nirmal bhagyakuri result” asks for the same results as this page.

The word itself is explained on the page about what bhagyakuri means. Prathivara (പ്രതിവാര) means weekly.

What was the Nirmal draw code and ticket letter?

The Nirmal draw code was NR, followed by the draw number, as in NR-429. Every Nirmal ticket started with the letter N. The second letter was the series.

• NR-429 used 12 series: NN, NO, NP, NR, NS, NT, NU, NV, NW, NX, NY, NZ.

Was NR a Nirmal series as well as the code?

Where were Nirmal first prizes sold?

Nirmal 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.

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 Nirmal ticket?

To check an old Nirmal ticket, find its draw code in the archive, then compare the number. The draw code is printed on the ticket, such as NR-360. The steps below cover every prize tier.

1. Read the draw code and date on the ticket.
2. Find that code in the archive table above.
3. Open the draw page from the code.
4. Compare the full ticket number with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
5. Compare the 6 digits with the first prize for the consolation prize.
6. Compare the last 4 digits with the 4th to 7th prize lists.

The Kerala lottery ticket checker searches only draws from the last 90 days. Old Nirmal tickets fall outside it, so the archive is the place to check them.

Can an old Nirmal ticket still be claimed?

No. The claim period for every Nirmal draw ended in 2025. A prize is claimed within 90 days of its draw. The last Nirmal draw, on 25 April 2025, closed for claims in late July 2025.

The claim limit changed shortly before Nirmal ended. Stored sheets from 2022 and 2023 print “within 30 days”. Nirmal NR-424 of 21 March 2025 was among the last sheets with 30 days. Sheets print 90 days from Karunya KR-698 on 22 March 2025.

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.

Did a Nirmal ticket win in a Suvarna Keralam draw?

No. A ticket wins only in the draw printed on it. A Nirmal ticket carried an NR code and its own date. A Suvarna Keralam draw checks only SK tickets for that date.

Friday’s current result, with every prize tier, is on the Suvarna Keralam lottery result today page.

Is a Nirmal lottery website official?

No. No website sells Kerala lottery tickets or runs a Nirmal draw. 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.
