On the 11th, the lottery operator Dong Hang Lottery announced that Mr. A, the winner of the 61st round of the "Speeddo2000" lottery, had claimed his 2 billion won (approximately 1.5 million dollars) prize.
Mr. A, who buys lottery tickets weekly and whose wife enjoys scratching off "Speeddo" tickets a couple of times a month, shared that they visited a lottery ticket store during a date in Wonju, Gangwon-do. "I was only planning to buy lotto, but the Speeddo2000 caught my eye, and it reminded me of my wife, so I bought a set of Speeddo2000," he explained about the purchase.
The set of Speeddo2000 ticket Mr. A bought turned out to be a jackpot winner. He shared a unique dream story, saying, "Recently, my wife dreamed about actor Byeon Woo-seok. In the dream, Byeon Woo-seok appeared at a large event, shining a halo of light and hosting a giveaway. He called out my wife's name loudly, gave her a gift, and hugged her."
In a handwritten note expressing his feelings about the win, Mr. A wrote, "Thank you, actor Byeon Woo-seok, for bringing luck to our family."
As Mr. A's story spread across various communities and social media, many began to ask Byeon Woo-seok to appear in their dreams too.
Byeon Woo-seok himself responded to the buzz soon after. He left a witty comment on one magazine's social media post featuring Mr. A's story, saying, "Wait, everyone! I'm on my way," spreading good vibes and luck to his fans.
