"Boss, I'll take this one" ... Buyer of the last remaining Pension Lottery set wins both the first and second prizes

[Financial News]   The story of a winner who bought the last remaining set of Pension Lottery tickets at a lottery retailer and won both the first and second prizes has drawn attention.
On the 11th, lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery shared on its official website the story of A, who won both the first and second prizes in the 331st draw of Pension Lottery 720+.
A said they occasionally buy Lotto and Pension Lottery tickets to spend the week happily with the hope that they, too, could win before the lottery drawing. They had visited a lottery retailer as usual.
A recalled, "I happened to notice that one last set of Pension Lottery tickets remained. So I bought it, saying, 'Boss, I'll take this one.'"
A week later, A checked the winning numbers before heading to the lottery retailer to buy more tickets and was stunned. They had won both the first and second prizes in the Pension Lottery.
A said, "At first, when I saw that the last two digits matched, I thought, 'I won the sixth prize.' But as I kept checking the numbers, I was amazed to discover that I had won both the first and second prizes." A added, "I couldn't believe whether I was dreaming or awake, and I checked several times to make sure I hadn't read it incorrectly."
A continued, "Recently, my spouse had a dream in which my aunt, who had been a senior Buddhist nun, appeared for the first time in a long while and gave my spouse a warm hug. I have always tried to live diligently without causing harm to others, so I am truly happy and grateful that such great luck has come my way."
Pension Lottery 720+ requires players to match a group number and six digits, for a total of seven digits. The first prize pays 7 million won per month for 20 years, while the second prize pays 1 million won per month for 10 years. As A won both the first and second prizes, they will receive more than 2.1 billion won over the next 20 years.
Regarding plans for the prize money, A said, "I plan to move from my current home to a larger one and use the remaining winnings for living expenses."
