[The missing '500 million won' 1st lottery ticket...
"Public Fraud" Exposure]
It is an instant lottery ticket that allows you to instantly check whether or not you won by scratching it with something like a coin.
Regardless of the type of lottery in Korea, including this instant lottery, the Lottery Committee of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance issues through a private consignment company, Companion Lottery.
This 1,000 won lottery ticket for the 58th round was sold until February of last year, and 99.34% of the total 40 million tickets were sold and only about 27,000 tickets were returned.
In this round, where the prize money is due by the end of next month, one 500 million won first-class lottery ticket and five 20 million won second-class lottery tickets have yet to come out.
From rounds 57 to 62, this round is the only one where no 1st lottery ticket came out, and except for 5 tickets in round 58, only one ticket in round 57 did not come out, so the results are distinctly different.
The difference between the 58th round and the other rounds is that an error was discovered during the sale, and more than 200,000 lottery tickets were withdrawn from the market.

It's a scam, of course.]
This is a picture of a lottery ticket with an error and winning confirmation data obtained by SBS at the time.
The two hat pictures matched, and visually, you won 1,000 won and 5th prize, but the data does not match, so the barcode is not recognized as a winner.
The 8 letters in the middle of the line mean each picture, but there is no same picture or same letter pair in the data.
When an error like this occurred in Chapter 6 on September 6, the year before last, more than 200,000 lottery tickets were quickly retrieved.

At that time, out of 40 million lottery tickets, there were already lottery tickets .
In a situation where 14.6 million copies were sold, the story that it was a problem to take out 200,000 copies of what might have been and sell the rest as if nothing had happened came out from within the current consignment company companion lottery ticket.
