The winner of the lottery 1st place in his late 20s revealed a secret story related to this.
In the KBS 2TV ‘Capitalism School’ broadcast on the 22nd, Seo Kyung-seok and Lee Yun-seok met the first prize winner in person.
The winner, who won 1.7 billion won in 2018 at the age of 27, recalled how he felt at the time, “I thought something was coming. I sat on the street and looked at the lottery paper for 3 minutes.”
In addition, to Seo Kyung-seok’s question, “What did you dream about the day before you won? Did the president not appear in your dream?”, Seo said, “I didn’t dream. I bought one and shared it with my co-workers one by one,” he explained.
At this, Lee Yoon-seok exclaimed, “It is said that I won the 1st prize in the lottery that I bought without even dreaming. I think this is really cool.”
Seo Kyung-seok asked, “If you look on the Internet, there are rules for the winner of the lottery. They tell you to go to the Seodaemun Police Station right away. Because someone can chase you.”
The first prize winner said, “I got in the car and went straight to the bank. It wasn’t like there was a bodyguard there. They said ‘I came to collect the winnings’. They were calm because they did it every week.”
He continued, “There was a small room covered by opaque glass on the second floor opposite the window. I went into the room and locked the door, and the manager of the bank came and asked whether I would like to receive a lump sum payment or invest in a product. I just asked for money.” recalled.
The winner said, “Tax was deducted by 33%. In the end, I received 1.1 billion won.” Regarding the use of the winnings, he said, “First, I gave about 300 million won to a colleague who bought the lottery ticket with me, and the house I was living in at the time was a monthly house, so I changed it to a full house. My parents liked it, but on the other hand, after I won first place, I was worried that it would break,” he confessed.
In particular, he said, “At the time, I had no idea of economics. I bought and sold cars to make me feel better. After spending time playing like that, I thought I couldn’t live like this, so a good opportunity came and I opened a cafe with my friend.” collected
