All the activities relating to the
printing and distribution of tickets are under the direct
control of the government. Ticket designing is done
by experienced panel artists, under the supervision
of the Director. This design, once approved by the DSL
is printed. Name of the lottery, number, date of draw,
ticket number etc. will be there in the front side of
each ticket, while the opposite side gives information
on the prize structure and how to claim the prize. The
department now brings weekly tickets, worth Rs. 10 and
bumper tickets worth Rs.30/-, Rs.50/- and Rs.100/-rupees.
The
number of tickets to be printed and the number of series
are decided by the DSL. The department has taken all
possible steps for secure printing. All the printing
work is done in government presses. Kairali, Periyar,haritha,
Bhagyathara , Chaithanya and bumper lotteries are printed
at the Kerala Books and Publications Society press at
Thrikkakara while Sowbhagya is printed at the Government
Press, Mannanthala.
The tickets are
printed as books with 25 tickets in each one, in the
case of weekly lotteries and 10 tickets in the case
of bumper lotteries. These books are then transferred
to the lottery department. There it is carefully examined
and details of the tickets are entered into the register.
The tickets are then disbursed to the District Lottery
offices from the lottery directorate and the regional
deputy directorate. Once it reaches district offices,
it is again scrutinized, and the department’s
seal is stamped on it. The counterfoil is then taken
off and the ticket is supplied to agents.
