A story of winning the first prize in the Pension Lottery in Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, has been revealed. On the 16th, lottery operator Donghaeng Lottery announced an interview with the first prize winner, Mr. A, of the "Pension Lottery 720+ 283rd draw" on its official website. Mr. A purchased the lottery ticket on a day when he went out to get some fresh air with acquaintances. He stated, "I have been buying Lotto and Pension Lottery tickets for several years."

After checking the lottery results, Mr. A was surprised to find that his ticket matched the first prize number. He said, "I checked the results after the draw and found that my ticket won the first prize. At first, I couldn't easily believe it, but I realized it was true after verifying it again with the QR code." Mr. A happily informed the acquaintances who bought the lottery with him about the win. The acquaintances also confirmed that they had won the second prize and shared the joy together.

To win the first prize in the Pension Lottery, both the 'group' and the six-digit number must match exactly. The second prize is awarded when the six-digit number matches the first prize number but the group is different. The first prize winner receives 7 million KRW monthly for 20 years, totaling 1.68 billion KRW. After taxes, the actual monthly amount received is about 5.46 million KRW. The second prize winner receives 1 million KRW monthly for 10 years, totaling 120 million KRW, with an actual monthly amount of 780,000 KRW.

Regarding plans for the prize money, Mr. A said, "I don't have specific plans yet, so I intend to save it in deposits and savings." Pension Lottery tickets can be purchased at nearby lottery retailers or online through the Donghaeng Lottery website.

This case shows that buying a lottery ticket can unexpectedly lead to great fortune. Mr. A and his acquaintances all experienced a happy outcome from purchasing the lottery together. Such cases highlight the appeal of the lottery and are expected to encourage many people to buy lottery tickets.
