The Unexpected Windfall Tied to a Dream Starring Actor Byeon Woo-Seok
A Dream Come True
It’s not every day that a dream leads to winning a massive lottery. But for one Korean couple, that’s exactly what happened. According to the recent interview shared on the official Donghaeng Lottery website, a man, referred to as ‘A’, stumbled upon a fortune when his wife had a peculiar dream featuring the renowned actor Byeon Woo-Seok.
The Lucky Purchase
On a seemingly ordinary day, ‘A’ and his wife were having a typical date in Wonju, a city in South Korea. As they decided to visit a local lottery retailer, ‘A’ considered buying only his usual lotto ticket. However, spotting the Spitoo 2000, an instant scratch-off lottery, reminded him of his wife’s preference, prompting him to buy a set.
> “I initially just wanted the regular lottery tickets, but seeing the Spitoo 2000, I thought of my wife and decided to get a set,” he shared in the interview.
The Unexpected Win
While ‘A’ stepped away to buy some goods, he handed the scratch-off to his wife, who remained in the car. To their astonishment, she won the top prize, valued at 2 billion KRW (approx. 1.4 million USD after taxes).
> “She couldn’t believe her eyes! By the time I returned, she was frantically confirming the numbers, and we were overjoyed,” A said.
The Dream Featuring a Star
In a twist of fate, ‘A’s wife had a vivid dream of Byeon Woo-Seok. In this dream, the actor was enveloped in a halo, hosting a grand event and calling out her name, gifting her presents.
> “It was surreal,” ‘A’ recounted, “We believe Mr. Byeon Woo-Seok brought us this luck.”
This magical tale even reached Byeon himself, who responded to the narrative on social media with enthusiasm, writing, “Running over!”
The Mechanics of the Lottery
For the unfamiliar, the Spitoo 2000 lottery is an instant scratch-off type, featuring a unique concept: a pair of top-prize tickets sold together as a set. With a grand prize that caps at 2 billion KRW, winners like ‘A’ face a transformative change.
