"I had been going through a time when the tears never seemed to stop because several sad and difficult things happened at once, and this win has been a great comfort and a new turning point in my life."
With interest building in Donghaeng Lottery’s Lotto draw No. 1222 on May 2, a personal account posted to the company’s winners’ bulletin board has drawn attention.
The writer said they won Pension Lottery 720+ round 303 with one first-prize ticket and four second-prize tickets. The winner said they decided to buy the pension lottery after noticing cash left inside their car while parking and getting out.
A few days later, the winner said they stopped by a nearby lottery retailer as usual to buy Lotto tickets and saw the shop owner hanging a banner announcing a pension lottery first-prize winner. The winner said they checked the round number and realized it matched the ticket they had bought.
"I went home and checked, and the person I had dreamed of being was me," the winner said, adding that it felt unreal and they lost sleep for several nights.
The winner said they bought the ticket at a lottery shop in Buk-gu, Busan, and that they sometimes buy Lotto, Pension Lottery and Speetto scratch tickets.
Asked about plans for the winnings, the winner said they would first buy a car and plan to purchase a home.
Donghaeng Lottery said the winning numbers for Lotto draw No. 1222 can be checked after 8:35 p.m. on May 2.
