Sthree Sakthi Prize Structure & Ticket Price Explained
How much is a Sthree Sakthi ticket, and how do its prizes work? This 6club55 guide walks through the ticket price, the tiered prize structure, and the tax on Indian lottery winnings, in plain language. We describe how the structure works rather than quoting figures that change, so always confirm the current numbers with the official source.
Quick answer
A Sthree Sakthi ticket is sold at a fixed face value printed on the ticket and set by the Kerala State Lotteries department. Prizes are tiered, from a top first prize down through several lower tiers plus consolation prizes, and winnings above the legal threshold are taxed. Exact figures change over time, so confirm the current official ticket price and prize chart before relying on any number.
Ticket price
Every Kerala weekly ticket, including Sthree Sakthi (SS), has a single fixed face value printed on it. That price is set centrally by the Kerala State Lotteries department and is the same at every authorised agent; a genuine agent will not charge more than the printed amount. The department has revised ticket prices at various points, so if you see an old figure quoted online, treat it with caution and check the current face value on your ticket or the official source.
How the prize tiers work
Sthree Sakthi follows the standard Kerala weekly format: one headline first prize, then a series of smaller tiers, plus consolation prizes for tickets whose numbers are close to the first-prize number. The idea is that a single draw pays out across many winners at different levels rather than just one. The structure typically looks like this (amounts intentionally not shown, as they are set officially and change):
| Tier | How it works |
|---|---|
| First prize | Single top winning number |
| Consolation | Tickets sharing the first-prize number in other series |
| Second to lower prizes | Multiple winning numbers per tier |
| Lowest tiers | Awarded on matching last digits, many winners |

Tax on winnings
Lottery winnings in India are taxable. A flat rate is deducted at source on prizes above the legal threshold, and additional cess may apply, so the amount actually paid out is lower than the headline prize. Bigger prizes are also generally claimed through a documented process with identity verification. For anything specific to your situation, check the current tax rules or speak to a qualified adviser, this guide is general information, not tax advice.
Claiming safely, and one rule that never changes
Because prize money attracts fraud, it is worth knowing the safe process. Keep the original ticket unmarked and secure, verify your win only against the official result sheet, and follow the department's documented claim procedure within the stated window. The single rule that never changes is this: a genuine lottery never asks you to pay a "fee", "tax in advance" or "processing charge" to release winnings. That request is the hallmark of an advance-fee scam, and the correct response is to stop and report it. Any legitimate tax is deducted at source, not collected from you upfront.
How this compares to an instant game
A weekly ticket is a slow, once-a-week format with a fixed price and a published prize chart. An instant online game such as the 6club55 Wingo works very differently, with quick rounds roughly every 60 seconds and its own in-game rules, played purely for entertainment. It is not a state lottery and carries no guaranteed winnings. Whichever format you enjoy, the healthy approach is the same, decide a budget in advance and never treat it as income, because chasing losses is the path to problem gambling. We explain the format in the play an instant game guide.
