A man has reported winning both the first and second prizes in the pension lottery after dreaming of his late grandmother.
On October 14, the Donghaeng Lottery website published an interview with an individual, referred to as A, who won both the first and second prizes in the 720+ 335th round of the pension lottery.
A purchased the lottery tickets at a sales outlet in the Jungwon District of Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, after watching a movie with his family. He suddenly felt the urge to buy a lottery ticket and ended up purchasing both a pension lottery ticket and a Lotto ticket.
Ten days later, while home alone, A remembered the tickets he had bought and decided to check if he had won. To his astonishment, he discovered that he had won the first prize, and since he had bought the tickets as a set, he also won the second prize. A said, “I never expected to win the first prize, and I was shocked to find out I had also won the second prize. I was so surprised that I must have slapped my face twenty times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.”
Struggling to believe his luck, A even held the lottery ticket up to the sunlight to confirm its authenticity. Eventually, he checked the Donghaeng Lottery website to verify the sales outlet for the first prize, and upon confirming that it was the same place where he had purchased his ticket, he finally accepted the reality of his win.
A shared that he had recently dreamed of his late grandmother appearing healthy, which made him feel good. He told his parents about the win, and they embraced him, shedding tears of joy. “I always thought such great luck only happened to others, so I’m still in disbelief and incredibly grateful that this moment has come to me,” he said.
Regarding his plans for the winnings, A expressed, “I plan to save and think carefully about how to use it.”
Meanwhile, the pension lottery 720+ requires all six digits to match for a win. The first prize winner receives 7 million won monthly for 20 years, while the second prize winner gets 1 million won monthly for 10 years. Thus, a winner of both the first and second prizes can expect to receive approximately 2.1 billion won over the 20-year period.
