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.

    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.

      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…

              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.

                    Just because you can afford it, it doesn’t make it a good financial decision to buy a lottery ticket.

              And when you stop working or fall ill, you become homeless. Great outlook, buddy.
