Established in 1967, Kerala State Lottery offers a variety of weekly lotteries that are conducted every day. It is said that the idea of the State Lottery was initiated by then Finance Minister of Kerala, late PK Kunju Sahib. The main aim of these weekly lotteries is to provide a stable income source for the financially weaker sections of the state. It is also a major source of non-tax revenue for the state.
