“Dad Just Gave It to Us as a Gift”... Scratched a Lottery Ticket at a Family Gathering and Hit a 1 Billion Won Jackpot
Story of the First-Prize Winner of the 69th Round of the Speetto 2000 Lottery
"It Still Doesn't Feel Real"
A story has emerged of an instant lottery ticket that a father gave his children at a family gathering winning KRW 1 billion.
According to Donghaeng Lottery on October 16, the first-prize winner of the 69th draw of the Speetto 2000 lottery bought the ticket at a lottery shop in Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.
Winner A found unexpected luck at a family gathering. Before going to his father's restaurant, his father stopped by a lottery shop, bought three Speetto 2000 tickets, and gave one to each of his children.
In an interview with Donghaeng Lottery, A explained what happened: "My father bought the tickets, perhaps because he wanted to give the family a small gift." After the meal, the family went to the parents' home. As they talked together, they decided to scratch their tickets.
Checking his ticket without much expectation, A noticed that the pictures matched and learned that he had won KRW 1 billion. "At first, I was so surprised that I couldn't think of anything. For a while, I couldn't believe it and just felt dazed," he recalled.
When he told his family about the win, they congratulated him. "When I showed my family the winning ticket, they were so happy and congratulated me," A said. "More than anything, I'm incredibly grateful to my father for giving me such unexpected good fortune."
A, who has regularly bought Lotto, Pension Lottery, and Speetto tickets every week, has yet to decide how to use the prize money. "It still doesn't feel real, so I haven't made any specific plans for how to use the prize money," he said. "I'll take my time to think it over and use it wisely."
