Prize money must be claimed within one year from the start of the payment period. If the final day falls on a holiday, claims can be made on the next business day.

First-prize winnings are paid at the NH Nonghyup Bank headquarters, while second- and third-prize winnings can be collected at any branch of NH Nonghyup Bank. Fourth- and fifth-prize winnings can be claimed at Lotto retailers nationwide. Regional Nonghyup branches do not handle prize payments.

Under the Lottery Tickets and Lottery Fund Act, any unclaimed prize money after the deadline is fully transferred to the lottery fund. The proceeds are used for public-interest projects.
