123 – Lotto
“Ha… My income has gone down these days.”
As soon as class ended, Minho looked back and sighed heavily.
From what I heard, you are earning over 10 million won per month?
Has it fallen so far that you can sigh?
“How much?”
“About 3%.”
Isn’t 300,000 won worth 300,000 won worth?
I don’t think it fell that far…
No, it’s just that my money sense has become strange these days.
300,000 Won is more money than you think.
But what Minho is talking about is not a relative result, but an absolute result.

In the end, it doesn’t seem like there was a big drop.
For someone who earns 10 million won, 300,000 won is not a lot of money.
“It wasn’t a big fall.”
“You don’t seem to know anything, but it doesn’t really matter if your income drops, right?”
I don’t think this is a line from someone who is sighing because their income has suddenly dropped.
Seeing me tilt my head, Minho sighed again and smiled bitterly.
Then he hit me on the head with a chestnut.
“Ouch.”
As he held his head and complained of pain, Jeonghwan laughed loudly next to him.
Maybe I was wrong?
“The biggest problem is that growth has stopped, and the number of people coming in is less than that of people who don’t watch it.”
“Hmm… Something like that.”
If there are fewer people coming in than people leaving the video,
Are you saying there is no possibility of growth in the future?
Well, Minho, what this guy does is
This is review content that tries and evaluates new products that are released every month.
But all I do every time is film a mukbang, say it’s delicious, and then finish it.
It must be difficult to find growth potential there.
“Ugh… What would I know if I told you that you have 11 million subscribers and 30 million views per episode?”
I understand well?!
I still make neat videos of cooking and eating.
I only post one or two posts a month, but I am quite proud of it.
“But doesn’t it hurt you to see your profits decrease?”
“It hurts, so I prepared a good idea.”
For some reason, I don’t think it’s a good idea…
Considering that he is a guy who makes strange review videos as his main content…
As I chuckled, Jeonghwan spoke up.
I hope the PD writer will guide me in a good direction.
“What? Creating a sub account? Receiving advertisements?”
“No? Of course I have to scratch the lottery.”
“Hey.”
Junghwan hit Minho’s head with his fist.
That’s because the lottery suddenly comes up during a serious conversation.
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel betrayed?
I wanted to hit him too, but considering that Jeonghwan had already hit him, I decided to stay still.
And, it seems like winning the lottery will be a better topic of conversation than you think.
“Do you think it will be that easy to win?”
“You don’t think it’ll work, do you? All the winners of the lottery so far thought that way.”
“Yes, even people who haven’t won the lottery until now thought that way.”
Junghwan immediately responds and cuts off Minho’s words.
It is so majestic that it can be said that it is truly a competition.
What can I say…
Should we say it looks like elementary school students fighting?
The two people who have been best friends since childhood may be special.
“If I win the lottery, will I have enough money to live on for the rest of my life?”
How much is the lottery winnings?
I think I once saw a newspaper that reported receiving a winning prize of about 40 billion won.
“That’s a thing of the past, these days, when all taxes are paid and settled, it’s about 1.6 Billion won?”
“Not much?”
I heard that the 40 billion won prize was carried over because it was not won in the previous round.
Now it is 1,000 won per episode, but back then it seems to have been 2,000 won.
Currently, the carryover amount is only enough for two months, and since it costs 1,000 won per session, it has been cut in half.
It looks like 40 billion won will never last.
These guys…
You’re secretly good at things like this, aren’t you?
“How much do you make per month?”
This time, Jeonghwan turned his arrow at me.
QTube profits…If you put all this together…
“….Just about 1/3 of winning first place in the lottery??”
It came out of my mouth, but it’s a bit absurd.
It’s laughable that the monthly income is in the hundreds of millions.
“Did you earn that much?”
“No, well… It’s the total cost of QTube advertisements and SNS advertisements.”
“Anyway, Seonghwan has never seen you spend money properly.”
“You often buy things like rice and coffee, right?”
Me, Jeonghwan, and Minho take turns buying food or coffee.
Among them, the proportion of my life that makes good money is probably quite high.
“Not like that. Buying a car or a building.”
“Hey, I have a Cayenne, and Ara is buying a lot of buildings.”
Ara recently bought a large building…
What was that?
It is said that a car called Bugatti Chiron, which was ordered in March of last year, is also coming to Korea.
I didn’t know, but that car is worth billions of dollars.
It takes a lot of procedures, and it’s probably because it’s a car that doesn’t exist in Korea.
She said that Ara was going to turn on the broadcast on the Q tube and receive it.
Anyway, that’s not important right now.
Now that class is over, I need to leave slowly so as not to be a nuisance to those taking night classes.
“So? Are you really going to buy a lottery ticket?”
“Of course, why don’t you buy some on the way out? You never know.”
“I’ve never won a 5,000 won coupon from a delivery app, so what’s the lottery…”
Junghwan reacted quite skeptically.
I’m interested, but I guess I don’t want to waste money on a fantasy that I probably won’t win anyway.
“I want to give it a try.”
“Why? A guy with a lot of money?”
Two people spoke at the same time, tilting their heads.
Is there a correlation between having a lot of money and not buying a lottery ticket?
I think even rich people have bought it at least once as a hobby.
Well, I don’t have that reason.
“If you win something like the lottery, you’ll have a reason to donate to your mom’s orphanage, right?”
“Good guy…”
The two people have the expression of a mother looking at a great filial son.
My ultimate goal is to rebuild the orphanage building.
“Are you going to teach me how to do it?”
“It’s not that difficult, so just follow me.”
“Okay.”
I saw Minho and Jeonghwan getting up from their seats.
I also packed my backpack and got up from my seat.
***
Minho drove his beloved Cayenne and arrived at the lotto store right in front of the school.
The signboard that says you can also play sports Toto is very impressive.
“Is Toto sipping or climbing a ladder or something like that?”
“That’s illegal Toto, you idiot.”
“Huh? Are there separate legal Toto and illegal Toto?”
As I tilted my head, two people put their hands on my forehead.
It was clearly seen that he was trying to hold back the oncoming headache.
“The only Toto allowed in Korea is Sports Toto. Sports such as soccer and basketball, and several types of e-sports.”
“Hmm… Are we really going to guess how many people win and lose?”
“Okay… Go somewhere else and never say anything about Toto sipping or anything. You’re on the news.”
Seeing Jeonghwan giving advice seriously, she nodded.
This is the first time I’ve seen you speak so seriously.
After receiving advice from Jeonghwan, I entered the lotto store.
As soon as Minho came inside, he looked around and took out a piece of paper lying on the table.
“First of all, there is manual and automatic lottery, right?”
Then he held out a piece of paper and what looked like a computer marker.
“This is manual paper.”
“It looks like an OMR card.”
“Same thing? Just check the number here and bring it to the counter.”
So, it looks like you just need to check it and bring it to the counter, just like checking the correct answers to a test.
I think this is a really suitable product to use in places like this where multiple lottery tickets are sold.
“Umm… 4. 9. 17. 25. 41. 48…”
“Have you checked everything?”
Actually, this is my first time playing the lottery itself.
I roughly checked the 6 numbers that came to mind.
Then, did Minho and Junghwan finish everything?
He was waving the paper and yawning.
“Is this the end?”
“Yes, just go to the counter and process it like this.”
Minho headed straight to the counter and handed the paper to the woman sitting there.
“One manual and four automatic.”
“It’s 5,000 won.”
Minho took out a 5,000 won bill from his pocket.
Earlier, he said he couldn’t pay by card and told me to prepare bills.
“But what is automatic?”
“Isn’t it bothersome to check them one by one? It’s completely up to luck.”
Is this called Jininsa Daecheonmyeong?
Leaving everything to heaven is more fun than you think.

“Araya.”
“Uh…Huh?”
Ever since I got sick with tonsillitis, I have been calling Ara by her name once in a while.
Ara seems to like it very much.
“Look at this.”
“Lotto?”
“Today, I tried 5,000 won with Minho and Junghwan.”
I smiled brightly and showed her Araage her paper.
Ara smiled bitterly and gently stroked my head.
“Ugh… Why is my husband so cute?”
“It might work, right?”
“The lottery is what everyone lives by thinking that way.”
“Ugh…”
Well, I know to some extent.
There is no way this can happen.
……I thought so at the time.
