"Family Celebrates Wearing Hanbok in Dream"…Story of 200 Million Won Winner

"Won 1st Prize in Spitto 500 Bought the Next Day"

A story was revealed about someone who dreamed of being congratulated by a family wearing hanbok at a feast and then winning first prize in the Spitto lottery.

On the 18th, Donghaeng Lottery released an interview with the first prize winner of the 45th round of Spitto500 on its website. Mr. A, who said he bought Lotto, pension, and Spitto lottery tickets once or twice a week, recently purchased a Spitto500 ticket at a lottery store in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province. Mr. A explained, "I buy lottery tickets occasionally when I have cash on my commute."

He said, "One day, I dreamed of a feast, and for some reason, all my family members were wearing hanbok and congratulated me." He added, "The next day on my way home from work, I stopped by the lottery store and bought a Spitto ticket. I checked the ticket after returning home, and when I saw that I had won first prize, I was so happy that I was speechless."

Right after confirming the win, Mr. A called his closest friend to share the news. He also took a photo of the first prize ticket and shared it with his friend, who initially did not believe him. Mr. A said, "Recently, my mother's health has improved, and everything I do seems to go well, so I am very happy to have won the lottery like this."

When asked about his plans for the prize money, he said, "I plan to repay my loans and share the remaining amount with my family and close friends." In his 'winner's comment,' Mr. A wrote, "From now on, this is my Leeds season." Here, 'Leeds' refers to a 'prime time or a prosperous past period.' This term is believed to have originated from the golden era of the English professional football team Leeds United FC and has gradually expanded in meaning.
