About this term

Lucky draw (러키드로우) is an offline store promo: buy an album in person and receive a random exclusive photocard. English timelines say lucky draw; Korean posts use 러키드로우.

These PCs often trade at a premium next to POB cards. Searching the term helps when store event calendars and WTS posts list "LD" or lucky-draw versions.

Frequently asked questions

Lucky draw vs POB?

POB is usually a pre-order benefit from a specific shop/online window; lucky draw is typically an in-store purchase event with a random exclusive card.

Can I choose the member?

Usually no — the card is random, which is why bias pulls and later trades are common.
