Gong Eun-tae, an ordinary sales employee you can find anywhere, wins the jackpot in the lottery—something he had only dreamed of! After taxes, he takes home 1.8 billion won. A large sum, but is it really enough to turn his life upside down?
"Let’s just live as I always have… I'll think of the lottery as insurance for my peace of mind."
With that reassuring safety net, he takes the leap— and suddenly, everything he does starts going unbelievably well?! Today, Eun-tae heads to work once again! But this time, with a whole new mindset.
