Ok, I purchased a couple of lotto games at GS25 on Saturday

checked them on Sunday - http://www.645lotto.net/

and in one game I have four (4) numbers -

so the pay out is 50,000won.

Can I just go back to the GS25 and give them the ticket - and will they pay me? or do I have to go somewhere else - like some office somewhere.

It is only a very small win, but I don't know if GS25 is going to give me 50,000won or if I have to go somewhere else?

If you got 4 numbers, you need to go to a Nonghyup to collect. I believe anything over 50,000 KRW won't be paid at the store where you bought them or any other kiosk. I got 4 numbers twice myself^^

That rule was changed a couple of years ago. You can cash in the ticket (4 numbers) at any lotto retailer.

IMO though 50,000 is not very much of a payout for 4 numbers.

Ah, I stand corrected then. You're right, 50,000 KRW is a joke for 4 out of 6.

50,000 for 4/6 is plenty, 76,000 people won this week. 6/45 for the entire population of Korea is too easy, 9 people won this week. No one winning is extremely rare and the jackpot needs to be as big as possible. Who plays the lotto for 4th prize?
