Mr. A, who occasionally bought Lotto and Speedo lottery tickets, explained, "I usually buy lottery tickets about once or twice a month when I pass by a lottery store. At that time, I was in line to buy Lotto, but I saw a lady in front of me buying a Pension Lottery ticket and thought, 'Shall I try buying a Pension Lottery ticket after a long time?' so I purchased one." When asked if he had recently had any memorable dreams, he replied, "After buying the lottery ticket, on the day of the Pension Lottery draw, I dreamed of a famous celebrity defecating in the bathroom."

He added, "My spouse checked whether the Pension Lottery ticket had won and was surprised, saying 'Oh?' and then checked the ticket again, telling me not to joke around. I was stunned to have won both the first and second prizes simultaneously and couldn’t think of anything. I am very grateful to have won both the first and second prizes on the Pension Lottery ticket I bought for the second time, following last year."

Regarding plans for the prize money, Mr. A stated, "I plan to use it as capital for a business I am planning." Finally, he shared his thoughts, saying, "I thought the first prize in the lottery was something that happened to other people. I am thankful."

To win the first prize in the "Pension Lottery 720+," one must match a total of seven digits, including the series number and six digits. The second prize is awarded for matching the six digits. Usually, a set of five tickets containing all series with the same number is sold, and if this set wins, it is possible to win one first prize ticket and four second prize tickets simultaneously. The first prize pays 7 million won monthly for 20 years, and the second prize pays 1 million won monthly for 10 years in an annuity format. Therefore, the total lottery winnings Mr. A will receive over 20 years amount to 2.16 billion won.
