'Look for the money that's been missed' Inquiry for Sports Toto Korea "Nov. Expiration of 9,400 Accomplished Reception, Total KRW 700 million"

Oct 29, 2024

Sports Toto Korea, a trustee of Sports Toto, a sports promotion voting ticket issued by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, announced on the 29th that 9,400 voting tickets for the proto match ceremony, which expires in November, were counted as about 700 million won.

According to Sports Toto Korea's tally of the proto match (issued in 2023, 127-140th edition) that requires receiving the hit money from November 1st to 30th, the total number of missed hits was 9,428 and the total amount was 748,381,880 won.

During the same period, the number of unsolicited hits was 3,016 for the Soccer Toto crew loss game (issued in 2023, 63-68th edition), which had to find the hit money, and the total amount of the cases was 4,181,550 won.

Customers who purchase Sports Toto offline can check the results by accessing the voting rights confirmation page on Sports Toto's official website and entering 15 digits of the voting rights unique number.

In addition to the hit money, there are many cases where people do not go to the refund money. In the case of soccer, baseball, golf, etc., where games are played outdoors, customers should carefully look at the schedule until the end even after purchasing the product because changes or cancellations of the game schedule often occur due to rain.

According to the National Sports Promotion Act, the buyer must receive both the hit money paid to the correct winner of the Sports Toto game, which covers various sports such as Soccer Toto, Baseball Toto, Volleyball Toto, and Golf Toto, and the refund money returned due to the cancellation of the release.

However, if the buyer does not claim the money and refund within the statute of limitations, the amount will all be attributed to the Sports Promotion Fund and will be used for various purposes and purposes, such as the Olympic Memorial Project, School Sports Support Project, Sports Support for Youth and the Underprivileged, and Support for Games Organizers.

An official from Sports Toto Korea said "There are continuous cases where customers who purchase sports promotion voting tickets miss the right time to find the right money."`"Customers who purchased Sports Toto should once again carefully examine the hit money and refund amount.'
