"I thought I lost because I didn't know the rules of the pension lottery."
As interest grows in the winning numbers for the 337th Pension Lottery 720+ on October 15, the story of a winner from the 206th round, who won 1st place (1 ticket) and 2nd place (4 tickets), is gaining attention.
In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' board, the winner of the 206th Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "I buy lotto tickets once a week. One day, I saw a lottery sales point while passing by and decided to buy a lotto ticket. However, the Pension Lottery 720+ caught my eye, and I thought I should try it this time, so I bought the pension lottery instead of the lotto ticket."
A few days later, the winner recalled, "I remembered the pension lottery I bought and searched for the winning numbers on my phone. I saw that all the numbers matched but the groups were different, and I felt really disappointed. Since it was my first time buying the pension lottery and I didn't know the rules well, I thought I had lost. But then I looked again and confirmed that I had all the groups, and I checked with the QR code, realizing I had won 1st and 2nd place."
He expressed his excitement, saying, "When I found out I won, I shouted, 'Wow! This really works?' The first thing that came to my mind was my parents. I also felt relieved about the loans I had from two failed businesses in the past."
The winner, who purchased the lottery ticket at a sales point in Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan, answered the question about his usual lottery purchases by saying, "I usually buy lotto tickets, and this was my first time buying the pension lottery."
Regarding plans for the winnings, he stated, "I plan to pay off my loans."
Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 337th Pension Lottery 720+ will be available after 7:05 PM today (15th).
