Kerala State Lotteries was established in 1967, under the lottery department by the Government of Kerala, the first of its kind in India.

In 1967 all private lotteries[1] were banned and the Government of Kerala started the Kerala State Lotteries.[2] The idea behind the setup of the new department under the Ministry of Finance, (Government of Kerala) was from the then Finance Minister of the state, Shri. P. K. Kunju Sahib. The objectives of starting Kerala state lottery were providing employment.[3] to and supplementing the government finance without disturbing the public.

The department soon became a model for other states in India. Soon many other states jumped into the bandwagon by starting their own lotteries.
