A story has been revealed about a person who won 2 billion won after accidentally buying a lottery ticket while walking with their daughter.
According to the lottery trustee Donghaeng Lotto on the 10th, a person identified as A recently won 1st place with the 'Spitto 2000' lottery ticket from a sales outlet in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.
A said that after finishing dinner one day, they went for a walk with their daughter and happened to pass by a lottery sales point. A mentioned, "I had a small win from the Spitto lottery I bought last time, so I thought I should exchange that ticket, which led me to stop by and buy the Spitto 2000 ticket again."
A checked the lottery results when all their family members were home and could not believe that they had won 1st place.
They said, "I was unsure if I had won, so I quickly called my daughter," and "my daughter said, 'It seems like it’s a 1st place win,' and we yelled out together in surprise."
They continued, "My husband, startled by the loud noise, came running to confirm the 1st place win, and we congratulated each other in joy," adding, "I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep for several days, and my heart kept pounding."
A revealed, "I plan to use the prize money to repay loans and help purchase a house."
A expressed, "I am so happy to have won 1st place," and added, "I am grateful for such luck to have come my way."
The Spitto 2000 is an instant lottery ticket that is sold in a set of two 1st place tickets linked through consolidation, allowing for a maximum payout of 2 billion won upon winning.
