"At the beginning of the year, a monk told me, 'In August, you will have good fortune.' It’s amazing and I’m so grateful that this has come true."

As interest grows in the winning numbers for the 325th Pension Lottery 720+ on July 23, the story of a winner from the 273rd round, who won first prize (one ticket) and second prize (four tickets), is gaining attention.

In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' board last July, the winner of the 273rd Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "I regularly buy lotto and pension lottery tickets near my home and workplace as a small hope each week. Usually, I purchase the pension lottery ticket recommended by the store owner, but this time I chose the top ticket myself."

The winner continued, "A few days later, I checked the QR code for the pension lottery and was amazed to find I had won second prize. While I was excitedly looking up how to claim the second prize, I discovered I had also won first prize. The monk’s words from earlier this year about having good fortune in August have truly come to pass, and I am filled with wonder and gratitude."

Reflecting on the win, the winner said, "Thinking about retirement, I find it much more satisfying to receive a stable monthly income like a pension rather than a large sum all at once."

The winner, who purchased the lottery ticket at a store in Jori-eup, Paju, Gyeonggi Province, mentioned, "I usually buy lotto and pension lottery tickets every week."

Regarding plans for the winnings, the winner stated, "I plan to pay off my loans and finally take that long-delayed trip to Europe."

Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 325th Pension Lottery 720+ will be available after 7:05 PM today (July 23).
