Lottery purchased based on fortune-telling, wins 500 million KRW
Mr. A, a resident of Bommundong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, experienced the incredible luck of winning first place in a lottery after checking his "daily fortune."
According to a report from Donghaeng Lottery on the 17th, Mr. A had a habit of casually checking fortune-telling information. Recently, he encountered a fortune that indicated he would have good luck with the lottery during his commute.
Mr. A explained the situation at that time, saying, "As I checked my fortune like usual, the luck index was high. It said I would have good luck with the lottery, so I promised myself, 'I should buy a lottery ticket today' and went to work."
Turning points in life from a decision based on beliefs
However, Mr. A realized that he had forgotten to purchase the lottery ticket only after arriving home from work. Despite the inconvenience, Mr. A decided to trust his "daily fortune," overcoming his reluctance and headed out again.
He purchased a "Spitto 1000" lottery ticket from a nearby lottery shop and returned home.
A few days later, while scratching off the ticket with his family, Mr. A discovered something astonishing: he had won first place with a prize of 500 million KRW.
Mr. A shared, "My wife, who was watching with me, was surprised and cried tears of joy," and added, "I feel like this luck came to me because I had been able to smile and move on even when I didn't win in the past."
Plans for spending the prize and life lessons
Regarding how he plans to use the winnings, Mr. A stated, "I will pay off my debts, and the remaining amount will be used for living expenses and my children's marriage funds." He also expressed a commitment to "live with a heart dedicated to serving society and not losing my original intentions."
In particular, Mr. A left a meaningful message, saying, "Life is like a lottery; you can never win if you don’t take a chance." This case serves as a valuable lesson that small actions and decisions can change one's life.
Meanwhile, Spitto 1000 is an instant lottery ticket where if a lucky number matches one of your six numbers, you win the corresponding prize.
The sale price is 1,000 KRW, and the number of first-place winning tickets per draw is 10.
