After winning the first prize with a lottery ticket purchased earlier, a story surfaced where a colleague bought the next ticket and won together, becoming a hot topic.
On the 17th, the website of the lottery contractor "Donghaeng Lottery" posted the winner's review by person A, who won the first prize in the 57th dog of Speetto 2000.
Person A purchased a Speetto 2000 lottery ticket at a lottery store in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, winning 1 billion won for the top prize. Person A noted, “I bought the lottery ticket at the store in front of the company for fun with a colleague,” and added, “After buying five Speetto 2000 tickets, I went back to the office and checked the tickets.”
Person A continued, “One out of the five tickets won 2,000 won, and though I normally exchange small prizes on the way to work the next day, I felt compelled to exchange it right away, so I revisited the lottery store with my colleague.”
At the time, person A exchanged the 2,000 won winning ticket for one more Speetto 2000 ticket and checked it on the spot, which resulted in winning the 10 billion won top prize.
Overwhelmed with surprise, person A urged the colleague, “Since the Speetto 2000 top prizes are placed consecutively, hurry and buy the next one.” Encouraged by this, the colleague promptly purchased a Speetto 2000 ticket and ended up also winning the 10 billion won first prize.
The Speetto 2000 lottery is structured such that first prize winning tickets are placed consecutively. When two tickets in a set are purchased consecutively, one can simultaneously win two first prizes, totaling 20 billion won in winnings.
Person A expressed, “I am so happy that we both won 10 billion each,” adding, “I plan to use the prize money to pay off loans and contribute to buying a house.”
