| Game | Top-prize odds | Any-prize odds | Ticket | Cost per unit of jackpot chance |

Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.
Korean lottery winnings are taxed at 22% (20% income tax plus 2% local tax) on prizes above KRW 50,000, rising to 33% on the portion exceeding KRW 300 million. The tax is withheld before payout by the operator (Donghaeng Lottery).
