Donghaeng Lottery announced that the winning numbers for Lotto 1223, drawn on May 9, are 16, 18, 20, 32, 33, and 39. The bonus number is 26.
A total of 16 winners matched all six numbers, each receiving 1.857 billion won. The jackpot amount varies with each drawing based on total sales and the number of winners, and this round's prize is in the upper 100 million won range.
In addition, 103 players matched five numbers plus the bonus number, earning 48.1 million won each. There were 3,481 third-place winners who matched five numbers, each receiving 1.423 million won.
Many players also won fixed prizes in the fourth and fifth tiers. The fourth-place winners, who matched four numbers, totaled 161,967, each receiving 50,000 won. The fifth-place winners, who matched three numbers, numbered 2,716,882, with a prize of 5,000 won each.
The payout structure for Lotto prizes varies by tier. While fourth and fifth prizes are fixed amounts, the first through third prizes depend on the total prize pool and the number of winners, meaning the payout can differ even among winners of the same tier in different drawings.
Winners must claim their prizes within one year from the payout start date. If the last day to claim falls on a Saturday, holiday, or other non-business day, winners can collect their prizes on the next business day. Unclaimed prizes will be allocated to the lottery fund.
