Frenzied to find the insider of the 'lottery'... Isn't that what you're looking for? [Interview file]

The SBS <Sold to the end> ​​team focused on the problem of instant lottery errors and sloppy follow-ups last week.

Briefly, 200,000 instant lottery tickets that might have the 1st prize in them were recovered, and all the remaining 25 billion won worth of lottery tickets were sold without informing consumers.

I would have hoped that all the first prizes would come out of the sold lottery tickets, but the 500 million won first place ticket is still missing.

This is what the Lottery Committee of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the companion lottery, the entrusted company, did.

On the night of the 19th, after the report went out, the Lottery Committee distributed a press release entitled <The 58th Spito 1000 instant lottery was issued and sold normally>.

The lottery ticket was a 'normal' instant lottery ticket that closed sales at the end of February 2022, and a discrepancy between the visual win and the system win was reported, so the problem was immediately healed and the sale proceeded...

The lottery tickets with the possibility of the same problem were identified, and considering the fact that the number (about 200,000 tickets) is less than the amount that is not normally sold (about 400,000 tickets), it was decided to continue selling without notice.

He also added an explanation that it is not the first time that some of them did not win first place.

Even if we didn't have to provide explanation materials, it was all contained in our report.

Based on the winning data generated normally, the lottery ticket was printed normally, but the problem occurred after that, and our report also focused on that part.

The error was confirmed, and if the lottery ticket in question was retrieved, it should have been notified to the consumer as it was, but the problem was that the 'continue sale without notice' was the problem.

I don't know if the lottery itself was normal, but the lottery distribution was abnormal.

In the consignment operator, Companion Lottery, news is heard that who reported the contents of the Telegram conversations and documents contained in the report, who the insider revealed in the interview is, and that they are frantic in the search work.

It seems that he is trying to find the bad (?) person who caused the organization to be attacked (?) by the media.

I thought about it.

Wouldn't it be right to find out if the person to be found is really that person, and on the contrary, to find and punish the person who made such a wrong judgment (undisclosed after recall) at the time, and change the system designed to make such judgment possible?

Wouldn't it be possible to say that only such a company has a future?

It was pitiful.

In Korea, there is a law called the <Public Interest Whistleblower Protection Act>.

The content protects and supports those who report acts that violate the public interest, and if a public interest whistleblower is found and disclosed or disadvantaged, it is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

It's been 2 years since I've been in the middle of a long time, so I'm going to be angry because I brought out and pointed out what the memory of the parties was wrong.

I fully understand how you feel, but you shouldn't act recklessly just because you're angry.

Another act of causing anger will have to stop.

Keep in mind that you may be subject to legal punishment, not condemnation based on the moral law, and I hope you will think again about what you need to do now.

Viewer reaction to this report was hotter than expected.

I think it's because there are as many people who dream of a 'reversal' in life, even if it's not a life reversal like in the past, and the belief that lottery tickets should be fair and trustworthy more than anything else has been shaken.

Trust once lost is difficult to regain.

Consumers who have been shaken once have no choice but to continue to wear colored glasses and look at them.

Even more so if it's a lottery.

In the past, I thought I couldn't do it because I was unlucky, but now I can find the cause elsewhere.

Our department's official name is the Investigative Reporting Department, but it is also called the <Panda to the End> team.

I am determined to sell it to the end if I ask it once, but in relation to this issue, I hope that there will be no more selling to the end in relation to the lottery.

It is literally the 'dream' of the common people.

If there is something to trample on and scratch, we will dig to the end, but we hope that such a thing will stop here and finish the review.
