What do rich people eat, what do they wear? Where else to spend the money? It's something that ordinary people are always curious about. This is why people flock to the SNS of Shinsegae Group Vice Chairman Jung Yong-jin and SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won, who are showing themselves quite a bit to the public.

There is something that piques the curiosity of the public no less. The people who won the first prize in the lottery wondered what they were dreaming about and what they would do with the money. If this is different from the curiosity about chaebol presidents, it is probably "Yanadu (Hey, I can do it)." It's a gap between a tree I can't climb or a tree I think I can climb.

But listening to the first-place lottery winners and satisfying your curiosity is picking stars in the sky. That's because they are scrupulously protected. Anyone who discloses their identity is criminally liable. I'd need to know a bit of a series of narratives before they get lucky to climb a tree, too, which can be frustrating because it's so tightly veiled.

According to the Lottery Office of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, lottery operators conduct a survey of lottery first-place winners. A news report by SBS not long ago is the results of the 'Lotto 1st Prize Winner Survey' for the last two years. Of course, the responses are voluntary, so the total number of winners who answered each question is different. It's a vague source to be called a statistic, and it's better to understand it as "a secret passed on by a mother-in-law to a daughter-in-law."

According to last year's "First Prize Winner Survey," the highest reason for buying lottery tickets (1 people) was <expecting a large amount of winnings>. Then the answer was, <Joyful imagining/for fun>. <Because I had a good dream> was third. The lottery operator also asked what he was dreaming about. The first place was <Animal Dream> and the second place was <Ancestral Dream>, but the ranking has changed from last year. The only regret is that it is not in the "what kind of animal it was" questionnaire. I can assume it's a pig, but I wonder if there were other animals as well.

There was another thing that stood out to me that was different from last year. When asked where they would spend their winnings (129 people), <loan repayment> was the most. In the same question last year (3 people), <home/real estate purchases> was number one. That means that last year, the waist of ordinary people bent a lot due to high interest rates.

So I had my eyes on the winners' professions. Only 1-2 people were surveyed because they didn't want to reveal much about their jobs or possessions. When asked about occupations (94 people), <production, transportation, and simple labor> ranked first, followed by <self-employed workers> in second place, and <office workers> and < service workers> tied for third place. <Housewives, Students> was fourth, with little difference from third.

"Who will be notified of the winner (215 people)" is also a question of interest. 1% said <I tell my spouse> the most, well ahead of <I don't tell anyone> which came in second with 50%. In the same question last year (60 people), 64% ranked first with <I notify my spouse> and 1% came in second with <I don't tell anyone>. When I asked around me, the reaction was pole to pole.

"Still, almost half of the time I tell my spouse." and "Less than half of them say they will tell their spouses." I wonder if you guys will think this way.

There are many requests from people who want to see the full survey results, so I attach a questionnaire. The questionnaire is from SBS coverage, so be sure to source it when citing. We hope this resource will satisfy your curiosity about the lucky ones.
