"Go claim your 1.9 billion won lottery winnings" Payment deadline approaching soon

Unclaimed lottery winnings amounting to approximately 1.95 billion won have accumulated despite winning first or second place. If not claimed within a month, all will be allocated to the lottery fund.

On the 18th, the lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery announced that there is only about a month left to pay the unclaimed winnings from Lotto Lottery Draw No. 1105.

There are a total of three people who won the lottery but did not claim their prizes: one first-place winner and two second-place winners. The lottery winnings will expire on February 4th of next year.

The unclaimed first prize amount is 1,834,853,800 won, and the winning numbers are '6, 16, 34, 37, 39, 40'. The unclaimed winner purchased the lottery ticket at a lottery retailer located in Seongsan-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

The unpaid second-place prize for the same draw is 55,266,681 won, and the winning numbers are '6, 16, 34, 37, 39, 40 and the bonus number 11.' For the Lotto second prize, matching 5 of the 6 drawn numbers and the bonus number is required. The unpaid second-place winners purchased their tickets at lottery vendors located in Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, and Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

Lotto lottery winnings must be claimed within one year from the date of commencement of payment.

If the prize money is not received within the payment deadline, it will be fully allocated to the lottery fund in accordance with the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act. The lottery fund is used for various public interest projects such as youth scholarship programs, low-income housing stability projects, and transportation support services for the mobility-impaired.

Kim Jong-eun, head of the Lottery Integrity Division, said, "There are often cases where people receive lottery tickets as year-end or New Year gifts and forget to check if they have won." He added, "When purchasing a lottery ticket, keep it in a visible place and make it a habit to check the winning numbers before discarding it."

They are all people selected automatically... I wonder what their stories were...

They say they didn't come even after winning.
