On the 1st, lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery posted an article titled "Scratched a lottery ticket after a canceled schedule on a rainy day and won first prize" on their official website. The article included an interview with Mr. A, the first prize winner of 500 million won in the 80th round of the instant lottery 'Speedo1000,' conducted on the 29th of last month. Speedo1000 is an instant lottery where if the lucky number matches any one of your six numbers, you win the corresponding prize.
Mr. A purchased the lottery ticket at a lottery store in Gwangjeok-myeon, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi Province. He said he usually buys Lotto and Speedo lottery tickets once a week. Because of this, Mr. A had a few instant lottery tickets that had won small prizes but had not exchanged them due to lack of time and left them as they were. One day, Mr. A went to a convenience store and bought 10 Speedo1000 tickets by adding cash to the winning tickets he had, but he did not scratch them immediately and put them in his car for the time being.
The next day, Mr. A drove out for a schedule. However, a sudden heavy rain poured down, and the schedule was canceled. Returning to his car, Mr. A remembered the lottery tickets he had bought the day before and scratched them on the spot. After scratching all the tickets, Mr. A was stunned for a while because the lucky number matched the '500 million won' prize.
Mr. A said, "At first, I thought I had won 5,000 won, but upon closer inspection, it was 500 million won," and added, "I only realized it after confirming the winning status with the customer center." He also said, "I plan to use it to repay bank loans and clear debts," and "I always bought lottery tickets with hope, and I am so happy that the awaited win finally came. I am grateful for this luck given to me."
