On October 11, Don Spike shared a screenshot of his winning result on social media along with the caption, “Jackpot.”
The screenshot showed that he matched four numbers in the October 10 draw, earning a prize of 50,000 won.
The update also drew sarcastic reactions from readers, many of whom questioned why such a small lottery win had become the subject of a news article.
Don Spike previously served a two-year prison sentence following a drug case involving methamphetamine. He was released after completing his sentence and has since spoken publicly about drug addiction and rehabilitation.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled Nate comments focused less on Don Spike’s lottery win itself and more on mocking the fact that a 50,000-won fourth-place prize had become a news article, with several commenters directly criticizing the reporter.
1. Is a druggie winning fourth prize in the lottery really newsworthy? What public interest does this article serve? Reporter Lee Seung-hoon, please answer.
2. Ah, so this is why you became a reporter.. ㅉㅉ Right, Reporter Lee Seung-hoon!!!!
3. Seung-hoon, get a grip and live your life.
4. This crap is an article too?
5. Not qualified to be a reporter.
6. Lee Seung-hoon, Lee Seung-hoon... You’re really going to boost your views like this?? Are you even a reporter?
7. I really don’t care about news involving a druggie.
8. Reporter, don’t you get hit with a reality check while writing this?
9. ㅋㅋㅋ If he’d won third place, at this rate it would’ve made CNN ㅋㅋ
10. He was probably embarrassed himself while writing this article...
