SKT Conducts Gold Number Lottery Draw

SK Telecom will start accepting entries for a lottery to find the owners of 10,000 Gold Numbers from the 26th.

Gold Numbers are numbers with specific patterns such as 1111, 0002, 3000, numbers identical to the area code (1234-1234), or numbers with particular meanings (1004, 1472). The Gold Numbers available for entry this time fall into 9 categories, and each person can enter up to 3 numbers.

Last year, the most popular category in the Gold Number lottery was the ABCD-ABCD type. The competition rate for this category was 2138 to 1. On the other hand, among ABAB type numbers, some had a competition rate below 1 to 1, so if you have a preferred number, it is worth considering participating.

The Gold Number lottery is conducted by random drawing under the supervision of the Preferred Number Lottery Committee, which consists of government agencies such as the Ministry of Science and ICT and related organizations including the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association (KTOA).

SKT announced that it will reduce the Gold Number lottery events from twice a year to once a year starting this year, while increasing the number of numbers drawn to 10,000.

The results of the Gold Number lottery will be announced on the 14th of next month. Winning customers can register and use their winning numbers between the 17th of next month and August 4th. Gold Numbers cannot be transferred to others. Customers who are already using a Gold Number or have acquired a Gold Number within the past year are not eligible to enter.
