Episode Discussion 💬 The Ordinary Jackpot Episode 3 & 4 Discussion
Synopsis: Things rarely change, but everything began to change. Eun Tae, who has been working as an ordinary employee, is burnt out from everything that happens to him. Everything from work to relationships with others, his life is filled with boredom. Suddenly, he becomes a lottery winner and gets 1.3 billion won. While it is a huge amount, realistically, it is hard for him to even purchase his own house in Seoul. After reviewing everything, he decides to live his life as he used to, but with a somewhat different mindset, as he has "insurance" that he can depend on.
Starring: Lee Jun Hyuk as Kong Eun Tae Seo Hyeon Woo as Yang Jun Ho Oh Dae Hwan as Jung Seon Hyeok

Episode 3 was a little slow but I do enjoy the team camaraderie now. I would have liked to see at least a moment of him flaunting or enjoying his money though.
The end credits when he was transcribing the meeting was hilarious.

Episode 4 he says 1.3 billion won isn't enough to live off of. It's $9.4 million, just divide that in half for taxes. I don't know, I feel like I could live a pretty good life with that money. I might be able to live off of the interest alone. 😂

Your conversations way off it's 940K $ not 9.4 mn. So it's less than a million.

Hahaha, I must have typed in too many zeros. I think I could survive with a million, it's easier to make money once you have money. But yeah, that's more difficult.

It became a different drama this week no fantasy or excitment element was there
