1·13·18·26·34·38; the Bonus Number Is 25
Donghaeng Lottery announced that 1, 13, 18, 26, 34, 38 were the first-prize winning numbers in the 1244th Lotto draw held on October 3. The second-prize bonus number is 25.
To win first prize, players must match all 6 winning numbers. In this draw, 18 people qualified and will each receive 16억469만원. The amount may appear large when viewed only as a number, but winnings are divided among winners in the same prize tier, so the number of first-prize winners is linked to the payout. The starting point for understanding the per-person amount is that 18 people were included among the first-prize winners this time.
Even if a player matches five winning numbers, they must also match the bonus number to win second prize. Because of this distinction, anyone who matched five numbers should also check the bonus number, 25.
80 Second-Prize Winners and 3천731 Third-Prize Winners
According to a Yonhap News report, there were 80 second-prize winners, each receiving 6천18만원. The third-prize winners were 3천731 people who matched 5 winning numbers, and the winnings were 129만원 per person.
Fourth prize went to 17만9천216 people who matched 4 winning numbers. The fourth-prize winnings are a fixed 5만원, regardless of the number of winners. Fifth prize went to 284만8천954 people who matched 3 winning numbers, and the fixed winnings are 5천원.
The distinction worth noting in these results is between second and third prize. Both involve matching five numbers, but second prize requires matching the bonus number as well, while third prize does not. Therefore, when checking a lottery ticket, it is more accurate to first check whether the bonus number is included rather than simply counting the matching numbers.
11 Automatic and 7 Manual First-Prize Winners
According to a Kyonggi Ilbo report, the first-prize winners’ purchase methods were automatic for 11 people and manual for 7. The list of outlets that produced manual first-prize winners also included the Donghaeng Lottery internet lottery sales site.
Automatic and manual refer to differences in how the numbers are selected. The results of this draw alone provide no basis for determining that either method is more advantageous. What has been confirmed is that among the 18 first-prize winners, 11 purchased automatic entries and 7 purchased manual entries.
Kyonggi Ilbo reported that winnings must be claimed within 1 year from the payment start date. If the final day is a holiday, they can be claimed by the next business day. After confirming a winning ticket, it is necessary to check not only the amount for each prize tier but also the payment deadline.
