A wallet has been returned to its owner one week after being lost -- with a winning lottery ticket still inside.
The winner is said to have bought 10 pension-type lottery tickets, handing them out to friends and keeping just one.
After getting drunk, however, he lost his bag with the wallet inside. Luckily, he was able to get the belongings back a week after the announcement of the winner.
The winner of pension-type lottery will receive 5 million won ($4,700) every month for next 20 years.
The fortunate man is said to have enjoyed sharing lottery tickets, and one of his acquaintances had previously won the top prize.
Meanwhile, the new pension-type game issued by the Korea Union Lottery is only three weeks old, with the third round’s results announced Wednesday.
The winner for the first round had won the first and second place together, which also had captured the public’s attention.
