"I have been buying lottery tickets for over 10 years, but I never even won 4th place, so I didn't expect much. I never imagined I would win 1st place."

On July 18, interest is growing in the winning numbers for the 1233rd lottery draw, while the story of a winner from the 320th Pension Lottery 720+ has captured attention.

In a post on the lottery winner bulletin board on July 7, the winner of 1st place (1 ticket) and 2nd place (4 tickets) in the 320th Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "I usually check my lottery and pension lottery tickets all at once. Last Sunday, I thought I should check the tickets I had saved up, and to my surprise, I had won 1st place. At first, I thought it couldn't be true and checked the numbers several times."

He continued, "When I confirmed the win, I was not as excited as I expected; my family was the first thing that came to mind. I have been buying lottery tickets for over 10 years, but I never even won 4th place, so I didn't expect much. I never imagined I would win 1st place."

He expressed, "I still can't believe it; I feel so dazed that it doesn't seem real."

When asked what types of lottery tickets he usually buys, he replied, "I occasionally buy Lotto and pension lottery tickets."

Regarding plans for the winnings, he stated, "I plan to use it for purchasing a house."

Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 1233rd lottery draw will be available after 8:35 PM today (July 18).
