A man who won the first prize in the lottery made a witty comment, saying, "Today, I will throw away the lid of my yogurt," which has become a hot topic. His remark, using a meme that true wealth means being able to throw away a yogurt lid without hesitation, has sparked enthusiastic reactions from netizens.
On the 23rd, the lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery introduced the story of Mr. A, who won 500 million won as the first prize winner of the 86th round of 'Speedo 1000' on their website. Mr. A, who buys a lottery ticket once a week, purchased a ticket at his usual lottery store on his way home from work. After scratching the ticket and confirming the first prize win, he immediately called his wife.
Mr. A’s wife’s first reaction upon hearing the news was, "Don't lie." Mr. A said, "My wife thought I was joking. She only became happy after seeing the actual ticket at home," and added, "I still can't believe it and feel very happy and grateful." Mr. A plans to use the prize money to pay off his loans.
Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as "Throwing away a yogurt lid just like that, what a luxury," "I wish I could win the lottery and throw away a yogurt lid once," "Taking your energy," "When will that happen to me," and "I buy tickets every day too. Jealous."
