"As soon as I saw the first ticket was a second prize, I figured the first prize must be in the set, so I checked the rest."
With attention focused on Donghaeng Lottery’s Lotto draw No. 1221, a winner of Pension Lottery 720+ draw No. 302 — one first-prize ticket and four second-prize tickets — has shared a story that is drawing interest.
In a post on Donghaeng Lottery’s winners’ board, the winner said they usually wait a week or two before checking results, but that day the pension lottery “kept catching my eye,” prompting an earlier check.
"As soon as I saw the first ticket was a second prize, I figured the first prize must be in the set, so I checked the rest," the winner wrote. "At first I couldn’t believe it, so I scanned the QR code again and again. When I was sure, I felt a little scared more than happy. When I told close friends, they sincerely congratulated me."
The winner added, "I’ve always thought I was unlucky, but this kind of good fortune finally brought me peace of mind. Life has been tough, so I want to put everything down for a while, rest and focus on self-improvement."
The tickets were bought at a lottery retailer in Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province. Asked what they typically buy, the winner said they purchase small amounts of Lotto and Pension Lottery tickets each week.
On plans for the winnings, the winner said they intend to repay loans.
Winning numbers for Lotto draw No. 1221 can be checked after 8:35 p.m. on April 25.
