Gong Eun-tae is an ordinary sales employee—until he wins the lottery jackpot. After taxes, the money is substantial, but not life-altering enough to abandon everything. Choosing to treat the winnings as insurance rather than escape, Eun-tae continues going to work as usual. However, with financial anxiety gone, his confidence grows—and suddenly, everything he touches starts to succeed. As Eun-tae navigates office life with a new perspective, he learns that true change doesn’t come from money alone, but from peace of mind.
Even the Lottery Jackpot Winner Still Goes to Work is a gentle, feel-good series about quiet transformation. Instead of flashy wealth fantasies, it explores how removing fear can unlock potential already there.
The charm lies in its simplicity. Eun-tae doesn’t become arrogant or reckless—he becomes calmer, more decisive, and more human. The story resonates deeply with adult readers who understand how much stress shapes daily choices.
This is a perfect “after work” read: comforting, relatable, and quietly motivating.
