Winning Two Sets: 2 First Prizes and 8 Second Prizes

A case where someone purchased the same number in the pension lottery both online and offline and won both the 1st and 2nd prizes has drawn public attention.


Recently, Donghang Lottery revealed the story of Winner A, who was awarded both the 1st and 2nd prizes in the 312th round of the Pension Lottery 720+. Winner A purchased a set of Pension Lottery tickets at his regular lottery shop, based on the shop owner's recommendation. After returning home, he bought another set with the same numbers online. Having frequently bought Pension Lottery tickets, Winner A had developed the unique habit of purchasing tickets with identical numbers both offline and online. As a result, he became the lucky winner of one 1st prize ticket and four 2nd prize tickets offline, plus one 1st prize ticket and four 2nd prize tickets online.

After confirming his 1st prize win, Winner A shared, "It didn't feel real at first because the result was so unexpected, so I felt rather calm. I immediately ran to my wife to tell her the news, and seeing her joy, I finally felt a huge wave of happiness and relief that I could worry less about our children's future." Winner A plans to use the prize money for savings and insurance for his children's future. He summarized his feelings about winning in a short message: "You can do it, too."


Meanwhile, to win the Pension Lottery 720+, all seven digits—comprising the group number and six additional numbers—must match. Usually, a set consists of five tickets, and if all groups are purchased with the same number and win, one 1st prize ticket and four 2nd prize tickets are awarded simultaneously.


The 1st prize offers 7 million won per month for 20 years, while the 2nd prize provides 1 million won per month for 10 years. By winning two 1st prize tickets and eight 2nd prize tickets, Winner A will receive 22 million won per month (before taxes) for the first 10 years, followed by 14 million won per month for the next 10 years in 1st prize payments. The total before taxes is approximately 4.32 billion won.



The pension lottery applies a 22% tax rate. According to Donghang Lottery, in cases of overlapping 1st and 2nd prize wins, the net amount received is about 1.68 billion won. Since Winner A won with two sets, he is expected to receive approximately 3.36 billion won after taxes.
