Meanwhile, the total amount of Lotto winnings expiring in one week is 843 million KRW. This includes a second prize winner (prize money of 66.95 million KRW) who has also not yet claimed the prize.

However, cases where winners appear just before the expiration date do occur occasionally. In July, the winner of the 1024th Lotto draw appeared at the NongHyup Bank headquarters on the last day of the payment period to claim the prize of 3.02 billion KRW.
