Lotto prize money must be claimed within one year from the start date of payment. If the payment deadline falls on a public holiday or weekend, the prize money can be claimed until the next business day after the deadline.

The payment deadline for this Lotto prize was July 17.

The 1024th Lotto drawing took place on July 16 of last year. The first-place winning numbers were 9, 18, 20, 22, 38, and 44, and there were a total of 8 first-place winners at that time.

Among them, the winner who purchased the ticket automatically at a lottery sales store located in Wolgotjungang, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi Province, did not appear even as the one-year payment deadline approached.

Previously, winners of the 1016th draw (2.2 billion won) and the 1012th draw (1.8 billion won) also appeared just before their prize payment deadlines. However, the winner of the 1017th draw with 3.5 billion won never appeared, and the prize money was forfeited to the national treasury.

Prize money for which the payment deadline has expired is fully transferred to the Lottery Fund according to the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act and is used to support various public interest projects such as housing stability support for low-income groups, welfare projects for marginalized groups, scholarship projects, science and technology promotion fund projects, and cultural heritage protection projects.

Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 1076th Lotto draw held on the 15th were decided as '3, 7, 9, 33, 36, 37'. The bonus number is '10'. There are 9 first-place winners, each receiving 2,672,689,750 won. Five of them chose their numbers automatically, three manually, and one semi-automatically.
