Meanwhile, Donghaeng Lottery posts information on its website about high-value (1st and 2nd place) unclaimed prize money that will expire within two months. Although there is a significant gap in prize amounts between the first and second place winning numbers, Donghaeng Lottery classifies them as high-value winners and discloses related information.
First-place Lotto prize money must be claimed within one year from the start date of payment. First-place Lotto prizes can only be claimed at the NongHyup Bank headquarters. Prize money that is not claimed by the deadline is fully transferred to the lottery fund according to the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act and is used for various public interest projects such as housing stability support for low-income groups, scholarship programs, and cultural heritage protection projects.
