A video of a cat coming in with a winning lottery ticket in its mouth is gaining attention online.

According to foreign media including the UK Daily Mail on the 24th (local time), Megan (33), who lives in the UK, recently posted a video on the social networking service (SNS) platform 'TikTok' showing her cat bringing a lottery ticket home.

The video shows the cat approaching Megan with something in its mouth. Seeing the cat, Megan asked, "What is it? What did you bring?" and looked at the paper in the cat's mouth. Megan was surprised upon examining the paper. It turned out to be a scratch lottery ticket worth 10 pounds (about 18,000 won). The video, uploaded on the 12th, has currently recorded over 11 million views, gaining explosive popularity.

Megan revealed that her pet cat, Mongki, usually has a habit of bringing things from outside. On her TikTok account, videos of Mongki bringing snacks, coffee, cigarettes, and more can be easily found. Megan said, "I have no idea where he gets these things from. Every time he brings something, I ask what he brought this time."

Netizens who watched the video responded enthusiastically with comments such as "Looks like he's paying the rent," "As expected, cats save the world," "Cats themselves are like lottery tickets," "What about my cat? It never brings a lottery ticket," "Cats are animals that repay kindness," "The way he brought it in his mouth is really cute," "The cat is really smart," "The owner must treat him well," and "Buy some tasty Churu with the lottery winnings."
