On the 4th, lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery announced that the payment deadline for the first prize of the 1035th Lotto drawing held on October 1st last year is today (the 4th), exactly one year from the start of payment. However, the first prize winner has not yet claimed the 323.119 million won prize.

The first prize winners of that drawing came from a total of eight sales locations in Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and Gyeonggi. Among them, one winner who has not claimed the prize purchased the ticket at a lottery store in Michuhol-gu, Incheon. The winning numbers for Lotto 1035 are '9, 14, 34, 35, 41, 42.'

Two second prize winnings (60.67 million won each) from the same drawing have also not been claimed. The tickets were purchased at lottery stores in Seogwipo, Jeju, and Sacheon, Gyeongnam, respectively.

According to the Lottery and Lottery Fund Act, unclaimed prize money after the payment deadline is fully transferred to the Lottery Fund and used for various public interest projects such as welfare programs for marginalized groups, scholarships for low-income students, and cultural heritage protection projects.

Donghaeng Lottery advised, "When purchasing a lottery ticket, sign the back of the ticket in advance and make it a habit to check the winning numbers of the ticket you purchased after the drawing date." They added, "Keep your purchased tickets in a nearby place such as a desk drawer or wallet, and even if you missed the drawing date, please check the winning numbers again."
