The winning numbers for the 1,226th Lotto drawing were 4, 6, 13, 17, 26 and 28, with 41 as the bonus number.

Ten winners matched all six numbers to claim the first prize, each taking home 2,815,230,113 won. Seventy-five second-prize winners, who matched five numbers plus the bonus number, will each receive 62,560,670 won. The third prize, awarded to those who matched five numbers, went to 3,557 winners, who will each receive 1,319,104 won. The fourth prize, a fixed 50,000 won for matching four numbers, went to 171,525 winners, while 2,803,464 fifth-prize winners will each receive a fixed 5,000 won for matching three numbers.

The first-prize tickets were sold at 10 outlets, with eight purchased through automatic selection and two through manual selection. The automatic winning outlets were Bokgwon Nara (Gwangjin-gu, Seoul), Geobong Mart (Seo-gu, Daegu), Nodaji Lotto (Seo-gu, Incheon), Boram Bokgwonbang (Nam-gu, Ulsan), Lotto Myeongdang Sangdong Branch (Bucheon, Gyeonggi), Bokgwon Nara (Pocheon, Gyeonggi), Haengun-eul Juneun Lotto Sales (Ansan, Gyeonggi) and Traffic Card Charging Station (Yongin, Gyeonggi). The manual winning outlets were Pangpang Lotto Jungnang Branch (Jungnang-gu, Seoul) and Dream (Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju).

Winners have one year from the start date to claim their prizes. First-prize winners must collect their winnings at NH Nonghyup Bank's main branch, while second- and third-prize winners can claim theirs at any branch. Fourth- and fifth-prize winners can collect at Lotto retail outlets nationwide. Regional Nonghyup branches do not handle prize payments. Under the Lottery Fund Act, any unclaimed prize money reverts in full to the lottery fund and is used to finance public-interest projects.
