On October 7, Donghaeng Lottery, the lottery operator, shared the story of the first-prize winner of the 69th edition of the instant lottery game Spitto 2000.

Winner A bought Spitto 2000 tickets at a lottery shop in Jungwon-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. He said he regularly bought Lotto and instant lottery tickets and was experiencing financial difficulties at the time.

A often kept the tickets in his car without checking immediately whether they had won. After his financial problems were somewhat resolved and he began to feel more at ease, he suddenly remembered the lottery tickets piled up in his car while on a business trip outside the region.

After returning to his accommodation, he began checking the instant lottery tickets he had collected, one by one. He then discovered that one of his Spitto 2000 tickets had won the first prize.

With Spitto 2000, the two tickets in a set are both first-prize winners. Knowing this, A hurriedly scratched off the other ticket, which, as expected, also revealed a first-prize win. Each ticket is worth 1 billion won, bringing the total prize to 2 billion won.

A said that after learning of his win, he thought of a recent visit to his parents' graves.

"During the recent holiday, I visited my parents' graves to pay my respects and complained bitterly about my financial difficulties," he said. "But such great luck came my way not long afterward, and I wondered whether my parents had heard what I said and helped me."

He added, "I am even more grateful that this unexpected good fortune came my way just as I was getting through a difficult time and gradually finding peace of mind again."
