As interest grows in the Donghaeng Lottery's 1247th drawing on October 24, the story of a winner from the 205th Pension Lottery 720+ is gaining attention.
In a post on the Donghaeng Lottery winners' bulletin board, the winner of one first prize and four second prizes from the 205th Pension Lottery 720+ shared, "Buying lottery tickets has made my week happy, and a portion of the proceeds helps those in need through the lottery fund, so I have been consistently purchasing tickets for a long time."
The winner continued, "When I buy a ticket, I look for numbers that are meaningful to me. Last week, at my favorite lottery retailer, I saw a pension lottery ticket with my favorite number, 77, displayed. I bought it immediately. It's not easy to find tickets ending in 77, so I usually buy tickets ending in 7, but it felt good to finally purchase one ending in 77 after a long time. On Thursday evening, right after the live drawing, I checked my ticket on my mobile phone and was amazed to find out I had won the first prize. I was worried I might have a heart attack from the shock, but it was more like, 'Oh, I won!' rather than anything too shocking."
He added, "I believe this great fortune is a blessing for my consistent charitable activities and prayers. I plan to use the prize money for various social activities I have been involved in. I have always been interested in becoming a member of the Honor Society (for individuals who have donated over 100 million won), and I plan to pursue that opportunity now."
When asked what types of lottery tickets he usually buys, the winner, who purchased his ticket at a retailer in Dobong-gu, Seoul, replied, "I consistently buy lotto and pension lottery tickets."
Regarding his plans for the prize money, he stated, "I plan to save the funds through savings accounts to implement ideas I have been considering."
Meanwhile, the winning numbers for the 1247th lottery drawing will be available after 8:35 PM today (October 24).
