On September 19, interest is growing in the results of the 1241st Donghaeng Lottery draw, while the story of the winner of the 331st Pension Lottery 720+, who won 1st prize (1 ticket) and 2nd prize (4 tickets), is making headlines.
In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' bulletin board on September 11, the winner of the 331st Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "I buy lottery tickets to spend the week happily, hoping that 'I could win too' until the draw. I visited the store to buy my usual lotto and pension lottery tickets, and I noticed the last set of pension lottery tickets available. So, I said, 'I’ll take this, please,' and bought the ticket."
He continued, "A week later, before heading to the store to check my numbers, I looked up the winning numbers. At first, I thought I had won 6th prize when I matched the last two digits. But as I kept checking the numbers, I was shocked to discover that I had won both 1st and 2nd prizes. I couldn’t believe it; I checked multiple times to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. When I returned to the store to buy more lotto tickets, I only started to believe it when I saw the sign saying '1st Prize Selling Store' in front of the shop."
He added, "I told my family, 'We have a big deal here,' and my spouse was surprised but very happy. My son, who is in the military, couldn’t believe it when I told him I had won and said, 'Don’t joke with me.' I’ve always tried to live honestly without causing harm to others, so I’m really grateful and happy that such great luck has come my way."
The winner, who purchased the lottery ticket at a store in Busan's Seo-gu, responded to a question about a memorable dream, saying, "Recently, my spouse had a dream where my late aunt, who was a great monk, appeared and warmly embraced her after a long time."
When asked what kind of lottery tickets he usually buys, he replied, "I often buy lotto and pension lottery tickets."
Regarding plans for the winnings, he stated, "I plan to move to a larger house and use the remaining winnings for living expenses."
Meanwhile, the results of the 1242nd lottery draw will be available after 8:35 PM today (September 19).
