"My spouse and I have struggled for over 40 years without luck in life or finances, but we believe this is a stroke of good fortune for us who have worked hard."
As interest grows in the 1241st round of the Donghaeng Lottery, the story of a couple who won first and second prizes in the 224th round of the Pension Lottery 720+ is gaining attention.
In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' bulletin board, the couple shared, "We don’t drink or smoke, and instead use that money to buy lottery tickets and pension lottery tickets every week. As usual, we bought a set of lotto and pension lottery tickets at a nearby store on our way home from work."
They recalled, "A few days later, while checking the winning numbers on my phone at a restaurant, I realized we had won first and second prizes. I stared blankly at the winning ticket, unable to believe that something like this could happen to us. When I showed the ticket to my spouse, they burst into tears of joy."
The winner reflected, "My spouse and I have faced many hardships for over 40 years without luck in life or finances, but we see this as a blessing for our hard work. Recently, we have been worried about our future due to difficulties in the restaurant business and health issues, but the first prize winnings have lifted those worries, and we are very grateful."
The winner, who purchased the lottery ticket at a store in Baekseok-eup, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, responded to a question about a memorable dream, saying, "I don’t remember the details, but I often have pleasant dreams."
When asked what kind of lottery tickets they usually buy, they replied, "I buy lotto and pension lottery tickets."
Regarding plans for the winnings, the winner stated, "We plan to use the prize money to buy a house and for retirement funds."
Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 1241st round of the lottery will be available for viewing after 8:35 PM today.
