Daily job in 40s who shared 4 billion won in lottery’Double 1st place’ with friends

◆ Do you lottery? ◆

* Not all journalists are good at talking. Especially with someone you see for the first time. Material is required. Anyone can easily access and enjoy it,’Lotto’. It is not free from roor or specularity. However, if you focus on’people’, you can see joy, sadness, and sorrow. If you focus on’winning money’, you can talk about taxes, finances, statistics, and more.

6623 people. This is the number of lottery winners accumulated from the last 1 to 942 times. What kind of people are these people, and what kind of luck ensued to win billions of winnings? This is a part that many people are curious about.

There is an online community where top lottery winners share their reviews. Although it is premised on anonymity, it is a place where you can write only if you must notarize the winning lotto paper. At the end of the inquiry, it was possible to make it difficult to connect the phone with one first prize winner. He is A, a man in his 40s who won first place in the 909th Lottery Lottery in May this year.

At that time, he erroneously ordered 1.38 billion won after deducting about 33% of tax out of the first prize (2,202106 billion won). Unusually, Mr. A is an example of a’double win’ who was selected first with a friend.

A’s breathing over the phone was short.

It was the way back home after finishing work at the construction site. It was a daily job. Originally, he worked in a factory that made kitchen utensils. It was a factory that had been working for over 10 years, but it was closed one morning due to the corona crisis.

He said that even after winning the first place, he is continuing to find a place for a daily job. This is because it has become difficult to find a full-time job due to the coronavirus outbreak, and it is difficult to start a business with the winnings right away.

In the meantime, I asked how I spent the winnings. “Some of them were used to pay off the debt, and I gave my parents some pocket money, and the rest was put in the bank as it was,” he said.

He has been suffering from debt dunning for quite some time. He used a card loan during his life, and was seized with his bankbook when he could not pay it back in time. “I don’t know how many times I have moved my paybooks and moved them again. I don’t know when the foreclosures will come in (at a bond collection company)…. I’m really bleeding when I hear that the card I used until the morning after being seized in the bankbook suddenly stopped in the afternoon. He said, “I feel like I have no money in the morning, but my daily life is destroyed by continued debt rush and I even want to let go of everything,” he said.

It was none other than a 10-year-old friend who caught him, who fell into despair. I wrote the same number on the lotto paper I bought at a convenience store and distributed it. When I asked, “Why did you share?”, the answer that came back was “I’m so grateful for my friend.”

A few days before I won first place, a friend called me. “Come on, I’ll buy some food” The friend bought him rice and put hundreds of thousands of won in his pants pocket, saying, “It’s hard with this, but let’s live.” A friend who went to the same factory and became unemployed also could not have been in good condition. Besides, the friend was the head of a family. I secretly stole my tears.

The only thing he could hand out was a lotto paper with a thought of’maybe’, and he handed it over happily. And both gave me the luck of winning first place. The combined winnings of the two exceeded 4 billion. This is almost four times larger considering that most of the winnings for the 1st place in the lottery are staying at 1 billion.

Maybe it’s money that I could have owned. He asked if he regretted giving out the paper. “I don’t regret a little,” he said. This is because we know better than anyone that each other has had a difficult time, and have been relying on each other.

Now, even the secret secret of the lottery winners has become even more intense. The number of lottery winners from 1st to 5th is increasing over time. In particular, the number of first-place winners receiving billions of money has increased and 6623 people are forming their own community. There is no place to reveal the secret of’I am the 1st lottery winner’, so it seems that they want to communicate even based on online anonymity.

In that respect, this winner is lucky. It’s because I can chat with a strong friend right away. The first prize was also received from the Nonghyup. At a nearby restaurant, the two friends leaned over the beef. My friend paid for the meal again. How many people can get this luck? Both were called’Cheonwoon’.
