The circumstances behind a store's notice stating that it was closing due to winning the lottery have been revealed, evoking sympathy from online users.

On July 29, a post titled "The owner who is closing their business because they won the lottery" was uploaded to an online community along with a photo. In the photo, a sign read, "We are closing as of June 30 because we won the lottery. Thanks to all the customers who visited, we were able to enjoy running this business. Wishing you health and happiness always."

However, some online users shared the owner's unfortunate situation. One user wrote, "The owner is currently undergoing cancer treatment and said they wrote the notice in this way because they wanted to close the business on a cheerful note." The lottery win was not true, but rather a bright farewell message to the customers.

The store, which specialized in certain cuts of meat in Incheon, has already closed, as confirmed by the removal of its address from the franchise's official website. In response, online users commented, "I hope a miracle even greater than winning the lottery, a full recovery, comes your way," and "I wish the lottery story were true. It's touching that the owner thought of the customers even while being unwell."
