As interest grows in the winning numbers for the 331st Pension Lottery 720+ on September 3, the story of a winner from the 228th draw, who won 1st prize (1 ticket) and 2nd prize (4 tickets), is gaining attention.
In a post on the Dohang Lottery winners' board, the winner shared, "Buying lottery tickets makes me feel good, so I have been consistently purchasing them. For over 10 years, I bought tickets after work, but due to urgent work commitments, I had to buy my ticket in the morning. After purchasing, I checked the numbers and saw some duplicates, which made me think, 'How could I possibly win?'
"A few days after the draw, I checked the pension lottery and found out I had won 1st and 2nd prizes. I couldn't believe it, and I didn't feel joy at first, perhaps because it didn't seem real. Instead, I was very nervous and excited about the trip to Seoul to claim my prize," he recalled.
He added, "I have always worried about my retirement, so I have been diligently preparing with national and private pensions, but I still felt it was insufficient. Winning the 1st and 2nd prizes in the pension lottery has relieved all my worries, and I am incredibly grateful to have won a stable income for my retirement."
The winner, who purchased the ticket at a lottery shop in Nam-gu, Busan, responded to a question about any memorable dreams, saying, "I haven't had any recent dreams."
When asked what types of lottery tickets he usually buys, he said, "I occasionally buy Lotto and pension lottery tickets."
Regarding plans for the prize money, he stated, "I plan to use it for retirement funds and to support my parents."
Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 331st Pension Lottery 720+ will be available after 7:05 PM today (September 3).
