  • No winner emerged for the 34th round of the soccer 'Win-Draw-Win' lottery, leading to a rollover of over 2.3 billion won.
  • The outcome was attributed to seven draws ending in a tie, contributing to the third consecutive round without a first-prize winner.
  • The next round, the 35th, will include the Mexico-South Korea match and sales close on the 17th at 10 a.m.

The 34th round of the soccer 'Win-Draw-Win' lottery has concluded without a first-prize winner, resulting in a rollover of approximately 2.3 billion won (around $1.7 million USD). This marks the third consecutive round where no jackpot winner has been found.

The lack of a winner is largely attributed to the high number of draws ending in a tie, with seven matches concluding in a draw in the 34th round. This outcome has significantly impacted the lottery's prize pool, pushing the top prize to the next round.

The lottery, managed by Korea Sports Leisure Co., Ltd. under the Seoul Olympic Memorial Sports Promotion Foundation, covered 14 matches from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers for its 34th round, which took place between the 12th and 16th of the month.

The 35th round of the lottery, which will include the Mexico vs. South Korea match, will see sales close on the 17th at 10 a.m.
