'Lotto 2nd Prize' 103 Tickets Flooded at a Dongdaemun Sales Outlet

Second Prize Winners Unusually High at 664
First Prize Also Includes Both Manual and Automatic from One Location

On the 4th, in the 1057th Lotto draw, an unusual event occurred at a lottery sales store in Dongdaemun, Seoul, where 103 second-place Lotto tickets won in bulk.

A total of 664 people won second place by matching 5 winning numbers plus the bonus number. Typically, the number of second-place winners is around 100.

The second-place prize is 6,895,880 KRW, so if all 103 tickets from the Dongdaemun sales store were purchased by a single person, the total pre-tax amount would be 710,275,640 KRW. This amount is close to half of the first-place prize. However, since each person can only purchase up to 100,000 KRW per draw, this scenario is unlikely.

The first-place win was also unusual. At a sales store in Busan, both manual and automatic first-place winners appeared simultaneously.

At this lottery sales store located on Jobang-ro in Dong-gu, Busan, two first-place Lotto tickets were sold?one manual and one automatic. It is possible that the same person first generated the numbers automatically and then manually selected the same numbers.

The first-place winning numbers were decided as '8, 13, 19, 27, 40, 45'. The bonus number was '12'. There were 17 first-place winners who matched all six winning numbers. Each of them will receive 1,616,069,714 KRW.
