Bought Speedo Right After Hearing Saju...Wins First Prize
"Will Pay Off Debts and Share With Family"
A story has been reported of a person who fell into hardship after going into debt, then bought a lottery ticket after hearing from a saju (fortune-telling) that they had "money luck that would lay golden eggs," and ended up winning first prize.
On the 11th, the winner's story of the 65th round of the Speedo 2000 first-prize lottery was posted in the winner interview section on Donghaeng Lottery.
The storyteller explained that while suffering psychologically after incurring debt, they happened to have their saju read by chance and were told, "This year you have money luck that will lay golden eggs." With a faint hope, they bought Lotto and Speedo tickets every week, and when they scratched one ticket to check, it immediately turned out to be a first-prize winner.
The storyteller went on to say that, with the same faint hope, they scratched the next ticket and that one also won first prize, adding, "I was so shocked that for a while I had no idea what to do and was extremely flustered. After calming myself down, I immediately contacted my younger sibling and went to them with the tickets. We checked together once more to make sure they were really winners and shared the joy," and said, "After seeing the saju, I was expecting a little bit of good fortune, but I never imagined such great luck would come this quickly."
Finally, when asked about plans for using the prize money, the winner said, "I want to take this opportunity to clear all my debts, then share a little with my parents and siblings so that we can all share in the joy together."
Speedo 2000 is an instant lottery in which you win a prize if the two symbols printed on the ticket both match. The first-prize payout for Speedo 2000 is 1 billion won, and if you buy a set consisting of two tickets, when one ticket wins, the other ticket also wins, allowing you to receive 2 billion won in total.
