A winner of the 1st and 2nd prize in the 1115th Lotto draw has yet to claim their winnings, totaling approximately 2.3 billion KRW. The photo is intended to provide context, showing customers waiting to purchase lottery tickets at a lottery outlet in Seoul. On the 24th, Donghaeng Lottery, the lottery operator, announced that the deadline for claiming the unclaimed prize money from the 1st and 2nd prizes drawn on April 13th last year is just a month away. There is one unclaimed prize for both 1st and 2nd place.
The unclaimed 1st prize amounts to 2,257,278,282 KRW, with the winning numbers being ‘7, 12, 23, 32, 34, 36’. The ticket was purchased at a lottery store located on Induk-ro in Gwangyang city, Jeonnam.
The unclaimed 2nd prize is 75,242,610 KRW. The winning numbers are the same as the 1st prize with an additional bonus number ‘8’. This ticket was purchased at a lottery outlet on Sangmu-daero in Seo-gu, Gwangju.
Lotto winnings must be claimed within one year from the start date of payment. Consequently, the deadline for the payout of this draw is April 14th. If the deadline passes, the prize money will be forfeited to the lottery fund in accordance with the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act. The funds are used for various public welfare projects such as housing support for marginalized groups, scholarships for low-income youth, and support services for veterans.
