[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] The 1003rd Lotto draw has attracted attention as one store sold one manual first-prize winning ticket all at once.

According to Donghaeng Lotto, the operator of the Lotto, the winning numbers for the 1003rd Lotto draw held on the 19th were '1, 4, 29, 39, 43, 45'. A total of 14 people matched all six numbers to win first prize (8 automatic, 6 manual). Each first-prize winner will receive 1.8111 billion KRW.

The regions producing first-prize winners include two locations in Seoul, two in Incheon, one in Dongducheon, one in Siheung, one in Goyang, one in Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, one in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, and one in Seogwipo, Jeju, totaling 10 locations. Notably, one establishment located in Jihaeng-dong, Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, had five first-prize winners, all of which were manual selections.

The probability that five different winners entered the exact same numbers is very low, and people who choose manual numbers often buy multiple tickets with the same numbers. Therefore, it is widely predicted that all five winning tickets came from a single person. In this case, the total prize money would exceed 9 billion KRW, and after deducting 33% tax, the actual prize money would exceed 6 billion KRW.

Additionally, in the 1003rd Lotto draw, there were 66 second-prize winners with a prize of 64.02 million KRW each, and 2,649 third-prize winners with a prize of 1.59 million KRW each. Furthermore, 133,896 people won a fixed prize of 50,000 KRW for matching four numbers, and a total of 2,247,475 people won a fixed prize of 5,000 KRW for matching three numbers.

Meanwhile, Donghaeng Lotto prize money must be claimed within one year from the start date of payment. However, if the last day to claim the prize falls on a holiday, it can be claimed on the next business day.
