jackpots in 2025 averaged 2.06 billion won ($1.41 million), which falls to 1.4 billion won once taxes are deducted.
That after-tax amount is below the average price of an apartment in Seoul, which was 1.5 billion won in December 2025, according to separate data compiled by KB Land, the property data tracker of KB Kookmin Bank.
Yes, because it’s totally normal for apartments to cost over $1 million/1.5b won.
That is not what I said? Lottery tickets are just throwing money in a fire… Which is counterproductive when saving up for a 1,5 billion home.
Since you’re not playing lotter, it seems, go on, buy a house there ! We watch.
You give me 5 of your currency and I give you 4 back, and It’ll still be a better investment than a lottery ticket…

I think saving up 1,5 billion with a normal job is not… realistic. At that point winning the lottery is the more realistic chance, as crazy as it sounds.
Yeah but at least you end up with more money to live somewhere affordable…
And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?
A rental property?
Nothing like the perspective of getting milked forever… building someone else’s capital while tumbling towards old age. I say let them buy some hope…
You are just filling another scammer’s pockets. At least you get a roof above your head out of one of them.
You know one can afford rent AND lottery tickets right?
And when you stop working or fall ill, you become homeless. Great outlook, buddy.
I’m not saying any of this is fair.
