The Ordinary Jackpot (Korean: 로또 1등도 출근합니다) is an upcoming South Korean workplace television series written and directed by Yoon Young-bin, and starring Lee Joon-hyuk, Seo Hyun-woo, and Oh Dae-hwan. Based on the web novel of the same name by Seo In-ha, the series follows a salaryman who continues his corporate life with a newfound sense of psychological security and boldness after winning the lottery jackpot. It is scheduled to premiere on TVING on September 10, 2026, at 18:00 (KST) and will also broadcast on tvN on September 14, airing every Monday and Tuesday at 21:00 (KST).

Synopsis

Gong Eun-tae is a diligent salesperson at Hongseong International whose life is transformed when he wins a first-place lottery jackpot. However, upon discovering the prize is ₩1.3 billion—a significant sum that nonetheless falls short of the amount needed for lifelong retirement in the current economic climate—he makes the unconventional choice to remain employed. Treating the winnings as "mental insurance", Eun-tae continues his daily office routine, but with a newfound, fearless attitude that disrupts the existing corporate hierarchy and shifts his relationships with his ambitious superiors and envious colleagues.
