12. Receive winnings
Ryu Won returned home and bit his nails.
It was a habit that came out whenever I felt anxious and anxious.
“Stop it. I told you not to bite your nails.”
“But bro, what should I do if I’m anxious?”
“I told you not to worry.”
“How can I not worry? I ended up losing a whopping 100,000 won.”
Ryu Won thought as he saw his brother stamping only one number on the lottery paper.
By all accounts, it was ruined.
I lost 100,000 won.
“You have to dial multiple numbers to increase your chances of winning, so why…?”
“I told you. These are the winning numbers?”
“How do you know that?”
“I saw it in my dream.”
“…….”
Ryu Won made a bewildered expression at those words.
It was truly a statement that left me speechless.
Anyway, Ryumin didn’t care.
‘It doesn’t matter whether my brother believes it or not. The results will tell anyway.’
Although he was anxious now, Ryumin knew.
My younger brother’s attitude will change 180 degrees after the lottery in the evening.
This is also something that has been experienced through dozens of regressions.
‘There’s no better way to make money right now than the lottery.’
Guessing the lottery numbers for Ryu Min, a regressor, was easier than catching a goblin.
‘It’s better to secure funds through lotto before players ruin the world.’
Later on, the social system becomes paralyzed because of the players.
Even now, the economy is shaking due to the 900 million deaths.
‘Before we go bankrupt, we need to secure funds through the lottery and make as much money as possible through coins and stocks.’
The more money you have, the better.
Not only can you escape from a life of poverty right away, but you can also use it to recruit players.
Later, in real life, players sometimes trade items with each other in exchange for money.
‘Well, the value of the player’s gold is higher than real money.’
Ryu Min had no worries because he knew the future, but Ryu Won, who was just an ordinary person, did not.
In my head, I was already considering losing the lottery as a fait accompli.
“I’d rather buy something delicious with 100,000 won….”
Ryu Won muttered with regret.
Of course, 100,000 won was a lot of money for the brothers.
Ryu Min worked part-time at a meat restaurant every weekend, but even so, he only earned 400,000 won a month.
Basic living expenses are covered, but other than this and that, there is almost no money to save.
Fortunately, tuition and meals were provided free of charge.
“Ugh.”
Seeing his younger brother sigh again, Ryumin didn’t say anything.
Because I knew that his attitude would change in the evening anyway.
just as expected.
-Nice to meet you. Let’s start today’s lotto draw. Regardless of the order in which the balls come out, you win as long as you match the number. So, let’s start with the first number.
When it was time for the lottery draw, the brother picked up his cell phone.
Since there is no TV, you can watch it on your cell phone.
Degurrrrr-
As the ball rolled and the drawing began, Ryu Won clasped his hands together.
‘Please, at least 5th place… … .’
Since my brother’s living expenses depended on it, I had no choice but to be desperate.
On the other hand, Ryu Min, who knew the result, had a dull face.
-The first lucky number is 3!
Ryu Won looked at the lottery paper spread out on the table.
“3? There is!”
Fortunately, one was correct.
-How many times will it be the second time? It’s number 18!
“18? I have it!”
Even the second time was correct.
Now, if you guess just one more thing, you will win 5th place.
Expectation spread in Ryu Won’s eyes.
‘How much does it cost to be in 5th place?’
One game for 1,000 won, a total of 100 games were played with the same number.
The prize money per game was 5,000 won, so if you come in 5th place, you will win 500,000 won.
In addition to the original amount, you can also reap a profit of 400,000 won.
“Please, please, please…….”
Was it funny to see my younger brother desperately waiting for the third number?
Ryumin smiled without realizing it.
“There’s nothing to be so nervous about.”
“huh?”
At that moment, the third number was announced.
“Wow, bro! That’s awesome! I won 5th, 5th place!”
Ryu Won was so happy that he didn’t know what to do.
It seems like he was very anxious about losing his money.
“Awesome! It’s worth five times more! I guess my brother’s dream was really good!”
“I know.”
But it’s still too early to be happy.
-The fourth number is 38! The fifth number is 21!
The more the number was called, the more Ryu Won’s eyes widened.
My hands and feet were shaking and my eyes couldn’t rest because they were comparing it to the lottery paper.
This is because there has not been a single wrong number so far.
-The lottery has ended. We will summarize today’s lotto winning numbers. They are 3, 18, 9, 38, 21, 1. The second place bonus number is 5. Well, I’ll see you again next week. Thank you!
The broadcast ended with the last number.
However, Ryu Won showed no sign of taking his eyes off his phone.
“Tongue, bro….”
“huh.”
“Can you pinch my cheek?”
“Pinch it yourself.”
“Isn’t this a dream?”
“Would you like it to be a dream?”
Ryu Won’s head shook violently.
“No, never!”
“Don’t worry. It’s not a dream.”
Ryu Min smiled as if to reassure him, but Ryu Won couldn’t hide his bewildered feelings for a while.
If nothing else, it was because there were numerous first-place winning lottery tickets in front of my eyes.
“1st place… 1st place…”
I washed my eyes and looked, but it was definitely number one.
“Hyung! Hyung! It’s really not a dream, is it?”
“I said no.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Ryu Won was so excited that he ran around the small house.
“Is it that good?”
“Of course! Are you not feeling well?”
“It’s good.”
Ryu Min also screamed with excitement when he first won the lottery.
However, after repeating this dozens of times, it became an obligatory process, like an annual event.
“To be first place in all 100 games… hahaha!”
“Keep your voice down. I’ll hear you next door.”
“Huh! Ah, okay.”
Ryu Won, who became Hapjuk, looked at the lottery winnings paper as if he still couldn’t believe it.
“First place… I really won first place….”
Ryu Won muttered in a quiet voice, like an ant crawling, and looked at his older brother.
“Brother, they were all taken with the same number, right?”
“uh.”
“Then how much is this?”
“Well, since I divide it by one in n, wouldn’t it depend on the number of winners?”
But Ryumin already knew the result.
How many winners are there?
How much is the winning amount?
‘The world will probably be turned upside down by the biggest winnings ever.’
The world has already begun to turn upside down.
* * *
“Hyung, welcome back!”
“Okay. Stay home while I come back.”
“I have nowhere else to go. And what kind of kid am I?”
‘Aggie. ‘He’s a lot younger than me.’
Although they appeared to be four years older than each other, Ryu Min’s age was over 110 years old, including the years he went through as a result of his regression.
In Ryu Min’s eyes, he can’t help but look like his younger brother.
“I’m just saying that because I’m worried because that guy named Bang Tae-gyu happened to me. If anyone comes to visit, don’t open the door.”
“If you’re that worried, why don’t you take me too?”
“No. National rule is that you receive the winnings alone.”
“I want to go too….”
“Goes.”
Ryumin waved his hand and walked away.
The destination he headed to on the bus was none other than the Nonhyup headquarters.
To receive lottery winnings.
‘It was hard to last until Monday.’
After finding out they had won on Saturday, the brothers had a small party.
It was my first time eating out, eating grilled pork belly outside.
‘I couldn’t even afford Korean beef because I didn’t have enough money.’
Although it was only a one-time incident, the impact of eating out was significant.
The cost of living has become affordable, with only bus fare left.
‘But I somehow survived until Monday with ramen.’
The winnings can only be received on weekdays when the bank is open.
Therefore, there is no problem with finances even if it is just the bus fare.
If you just go to the bank, hundreds of millions of dollars will be added to your account.
-This stop is the Seodaemun Station intersection.
Ryumin got off the bus and walked down the street.
After a while, you will see a tall building in front of you.
It was the headquarters of Nonhyup Bank, which paid out the first prize.
Normally, I would be nervous before going in, but… … .
‘Maybe it’s because it’s the first prize I’ve received dozens of times, but I’m not nervous at all.’
Ryumin calmly entered the bank without any such thing.
Perhaps because it was Monday, there were a lot of people going in and out of the bank.
Of course, they were regular customers, not winners.
Ryumin approached the staff at the lobby desk of the new building as he had always done and spoke.
“I’m here to collect my lottery first prize.”
“Oh, is that so? Congratulations, lucky customer.”
The bank employee wasn’t really surprised.
Because it was a common occurrence that happens every week.
However, the employee only glanced at Ryumin.
‘You look pretty young, but you won first place?’
Although some of the winners were in their 20s, the young man in front of me was so young that he looked like a high school student.
It could have been a lie or an illusion, so the employee had to check.
“If you don’t mind, could you tell me where I bought it?”
“This is GS24 Yeonhui branch.”
“Yeah……!”
The employee made a noise without realizing it.
This is because it reminded me of a conversation I had with my boss before standing at the desk.
-The number of first place winners in this round is a whopping 107 games.
-yes? 107 games? There are that many?
-Yes, compared to the usual winnings of about 10 games, this is an unprecedented number. But tell me what’s so amazing? 100 of those games came from one point.
-Yeah? One point? Could it be that one person bought them all? … .
-that’s right. Someone played 100 games with the same number, and that meant he came in first place.
-and… … That’s awesome. I’m jealous even if I only win one, but 100 games… … .
-I checked and the winnings are huge. Anyway, I might come to collect my winnings this week, so I’m getting ready. If there is anyone who says they purchased something at the GS24 Yeonhui branch, definitely call the bank president. Because you are a super special VVIP customer.
The employee came to his senses after remembering his boss’ words.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but could you please wait a moment?”
“Of course.”
After asking for understanding, the employee got up and appeared with someone a while later.
“Oh, thank you for waiting. My name is Junho Kwon, the president of Nonhyup Bank.”
“Hello, my name is Ryumin.”
Ryu Min lightly held the bank president’s hand with a calm expression.
“You won first place. Congratulations, lucky customer.”
“thank you.”
“You shouldn’t do this here. Let’s go. I will take care of you personally.”
Ryu Min took the elevator to the third floor with the bank president.
Meanwhile, the bank president glanced at Ryumin.
‘Look at this? ‘Your young friend doesn’t look nervous, does he?’
As if winning first place wasn’t enough, the bank president himself came down.
Of course he couldn’t help but be nervous, but there was no change in the young man’s expression.
Rather, it was surprising to the bank president to see him looking relaxed and bored.
“Please come this way.”
The bank president guided Ryu Min to the lottery business team.
As I was leaving, I saw other people waiting to receive their winnings, but I just passed by.
It was impossible to make Ryu Min, who won 100 games, wait with them.
“Oh, the bank manager is here?”
The employee bent down and looked at Ryumin from the corner of his eye.
‘Who is it? ‘Is he the bank president’s son?’
Just when I was curious, the bank president introduced it first.
“You are a lucky VVIP customer who came to collect your winnings. We will do our best to help you without any inconvenience.”
‘VVIP?’
Only then did the employee know who the bank manager had brought.
‘GS24 Yeonhui Branch 100 Game Winner?’
While I was surprised, the bank president exchanged greetings with Ryu Min.
“The staff here will help you collect your winnings. Then, you can work comfortably.”
“thank you.”
As the bank president stepped away with a friendly smile, the employee stepped forward.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lucky. Please sit over here.”
The employee asked Ryumin with a smile as he sat on the soft sofa.
“Are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink? Coffee, juice, or green tea…”
“It’s okay. I just want to get my winnings and go home quickly.”
“Oh, is that so? Okay. Then, can I see the winning lotto paper first?”
Ryumin held out 20 lottery tickets from his pocket.
The employee couldn’t erase his surprised expression as he checked the lottery ticket.
All 100 games had the same number and it was definitely first place.
‘I can’t believe they were all filmed with the same number. ‘Do you know the future or what?’
The employee explained with a smile, trying to hide his envy.
“Confirmation completed. You are in first place in all 100 games. Congratulations.”
“Thank you. How much is the winnings?”
“This round’s first prize winning amount is approximately 24 billion won, and the number of winning games is 107, and in your case, you won 100 of them….”
The employee who was calculating swallowed his saliva and spoke.
“Your winnings will be approximately 22.4 billion won.”
Excluding taxes, 15 billion won will be in the bank account.
