Lottery tickets a father gave his three children: one wins 1 billion won ... “My family was happy for me and congratulated me, too”

[Financial News] One of the instant lottery tickets a father handed out to his three children, one each, at a family gathering won the 1 billion won first prize, according to a story that has emerged.
According to lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery on the 17th, an interview with A, the first-prize winner of the 69th draw of Speetto 2000, was published on the operator’s official website on the 15th. The ticket was sold at a lottery shop in Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.
A reportedly bought Lotto 6/45, Pension Lottery tickets and Speetto tickets once a week.
One day at a family gathering, A’s father handed each of his three children a Speetto ticket he had bought before arriving at the restaurant.
After the meal, A and the siblings went to their parents’ home and decided to check the tickets their father had given them. A scratched the ticket without much expectation and won the first prize.
A said, “I was so shocked that I couldn’t think of anything. I couldn’t believe it and was just stunned. When I showed my family the winning ticket, they were happy for me and congratulated me.”
A added, “I’m grateful to my father for giving me such unexpected good fortune.”
Asked how the winnings would be used, A said, “I still can’t believe it, so I haven’t made any concrete plans. I plan to think it over slowly and use the money thoughtfully.”
Speetto 2000 is an instant lottery ticket that pays the corresponding prize if the two lucky symbols match. Each ticket costs 2,000 won, and there are 10 first-prize winning tickets in total for the 69th draw. The first prize is 1 billion won. If someone buys a set of two tickets and one wins, the other ticket also wins, for a total prize of 2 billion won.
