On the 17th, lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery posted a winning story of Mr. A, the first-prize winner of the 57th round of Spitto2000, on its official website. Mr. A purchased a Spitto2000 ticket at a lottery store in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, and won the first prize of 1 billion KRW.

Mr. A, who bought the lottery tickets for fun with a coworker at a lottery store in front of their company, said, "After purchasing five Spitto2000 tickets, I returned to the office and checked the tickets," adding, "One of the five tickets won 2,000 KRW." He continued, "Usually, when I win a small amount, I exchange it on my way to or from work the next day, but that day I wanted to exchange it immediately, so I visited the lottery store in front of the company again with my coworker," explaining the situation at the time.

Mr. A exchanged the ticket that won 2,000 KRW for another Spitto2000 ticket and checked it right there, discovering that he had won the first prize of 1 billion KRW. Surprised, he told his coworker next to him, "Since Spitto2000 first-prize tickets come in pairs, buy the next ticket quickly," he said. The coworker immediately purchased a Spitto2000 ticket and also won the first prize of 1 billion KRW.

Spitto2000 tickets are structured so that two first-prize winning tickets are consecutively attached. If two tickets are purchased consecutively as a set, when one ticket wins, the other ticket also wins simultaneously, allowing the winner to receive a total of 2 billion KRW. It is a scratch-off type where the result can be checked immediately by scratching the ticket upon purchase. The price is 2,000 KRW per ticket, and there are six first-prize tickets per round. The system awards the prize if both lucky game pictures match.

Mr. A said, "I am very happy to have won 1 billion KRW each together," and added, "I plan to use the prize money to repay loans and help purchase a house." He also left a comment saying, "Buying the lottery brought this kind of luck to me as well."

Netizens who heard the news responded with comments such as, "If it were me, I would have bought and scratched all the tickets myself, amazing," "That's why luck comes. I should be generous too," "Please be my coworker," and "I would be really grateful."
