Record-Breaking Winners
This draw surpasses previous highs, with 24 first-prize winners exceeding the prior record of 63 shared across six sets in the 1128th round. Such a concentration remains unprecedented since the lottery launched in December 2002.
Multiple winners capped individual first-prize amounts at around 4.199 billion won total for the rank, a fraction of the previous round’s 22.6789 billion won payout.
Sales Performance and Analysis
Lottery sales for this round reached levels surpassing the base average of 20.6 billion won from last year, representing the lowest per-winner amount outside four exceptional rounds since 2002. After deducting the standard 33% allocation, net proceeds per first-prize winner fall into the 300 million won range.
Operators note total sales exceeded 33% projections, with actual figures nearing 3 billion won. Despite rising sales trends, sustained lower per-person prizes reflect surging popularity, drawing record participation and diluting individual shares even as overall revenue climbs.
