With the expiration period approaching in June, the number of unclaimed winning cases for the Proto betting game exceeds 15,000, and the total amount is over 1.17 billion won.
The unclaimed amount for the soccer Toto win-draw-loss game during the same period is also over 50 million won… It is necessary to check the winning amount and refund amount after purchase.
According to the Sports Promotion Foundation, the trustee of the Sports Toto, the number of unclaimed voting tickets that expire in June 2025 is a total of 16,095, with the corresponding amount being approximately 1.26 billion won, they noted on the 29th (Thursday).
Sports Toto Korea reported that among the unclaimed voting tickets, the Proto betting ticket had the highest number, and from June 1 (Sunday) to June 30 (Monday), 2025, the number of unclaimed wins for the Proto betting game (issued in 2024, rounds 66-79) totaled 15,075, with the amount being 1.172115030 billion won.
During the same period, the unclaimed winning cases for the soccer Toto win-draw-loss game (issued in 2024, rounds 34-41) totaled 725, with a total amount of 51,062,40 won.
There are also many cases where customers do not claim refund amounts. In events such as soccer, baseball, and golf held outdoors, schedule changes or cancellations due to rain or natural disasters often occur, so customers should closely monitor the schedule until the end, even after purchasing the product.
According to the Sports Promotion Act, in the Sports Toto games that cover various sports such as soccer Toto, baseball Toto, basketball Toto, volleyball Toto, and golf Toto, the winning amounts paid to winners who correctly predict the game results and the refund amounts returned due to cancellations must all be collected by the purchaser within the validity period of one year.
However, if purchasers do not claim their winning amounts and refund amounts within the validity period, these amounts will be allocated to the Sports Promotion Fund and used for various purposes consistent with the original intent, such as Olympic commemorative projects, school sports support projects, support for youth and marginalized groups, and support for event hosting organizations.
Meanwhile, customers who purchased Sports Toto offline can check the results by entering the unique number of 15 characters on the voting ticket confirmation page on the official website.
There is an even simpler method. Sports Toto Korea has officially implemented the 'Sports Promotion Voting Ticket Winning Result Inquiry QR Code Service' since November 1 of last year.
The 'QR code service' allows purchasers to check the winning results immediately by scanning the QR code printed on the upper right corner of the voting ticket with their smartphone. By using this, customers can quickly and easily view the winning results of their purchased voting tickets without additional verification procedures.
A representative from Sports Toto Korea stated, 'There are continuing cases where customers miss out on claiming winnings due to the expiration of the validity period,' and urged, 'Customers who purchased Sports Toto should carefully review the validity periods for refunds and returns once again.'
