"I thought I needed a drink after a tough day at work."
As interest grows in the winning numbers for the 334th Pension Lottery 720+ on September 24, the story of a winner from the 222nd draw is gaining attention.
In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' board, the winner of one first prize and four second prizes from the 222nd Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "After a bad day at work, I thought I needed a drink on my way home. On my way to my favorite soup restaurant, I saw a lottery shop and bought a lotto ticket and a pension lottery ticket as usual."
A few days later, when he checked the winning numbers at his regular lottery shop, he initially thought he had only matched the last digit and won the seventh prize. However, when he asked the shop owner to exchange his ticket, he was shocked to learn he had won the first prize. Upon further inspection, he realized he had won both the first and second prizes, which made him extremely happy. He shared the news with his family, feeling overjoyed.
He reflected, "Like everyone else, I thought I would win someday, but I am grateful that such great luck came to me. At first, I was disappointed that I couldn't receive the winnings in a lump sum, but considering my future, I think receiving it as a pension is better."
The winner, who purchased his tickets at a lottery shop in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, responded to a question about any memorable dreams by saying, "I haven't had any dreams."
When asked what kind of lottery tickets he usually buys, he replied, "I mainly buy lotto tickets and pension lottery tickets."
Regarding his plans for the winnings, he stated, "I plan to move to a bigger house."
Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 334th Pension Lottery 720+ will be available after 7:05 PM today (September 24).
