A man shared the story of winning first prize in the lottery after hearing his wife's dream.
On the 9th, an interview conducted on the 5th with the first-prize winner A, from "Speetto 1000" round 103, was posted on the website of Donghaeng Lottery, the lottery trustee.
A, who lives in Anseong, Gyeonggi, said, "Recently, my wife had a dream where blood was 'gushing' from her body," and explained, "She said it felt strange—neither scary nor unpleasant."
After searching online, A found that it was considered a lucky dream and went to a lottery retailer. Instead of the usual Lotto, A bought Speetto 1000, scratched it on the spot, and it was first prize.
A said, "I involuntarily shouted loudly," adding, "When I told my family, 'I think I caused a stir,' and shared the news of the win, everyone rejoiced together."
A plans to use part of the prize money to repay loans and put the rest toward securing dwellings. A said, "I had personal debt and was under great emotional strain, but it seems I can resolve it with the prize money, so I feel very relieved and grateful," adding, "I'm happy because it can serve as a retirement plan."
Speetto 1000 is an instant lottery where you win if your numbers match the lucky numbers. The first prize is 5 billion won, with odds of 1 in 5 million.
