Live-Action The Ordinary Jackpot Premieres On TVING September 10
The TVING-first rollout with a tvN premiere two days later splits the audience between a streaming service and a broadcast channel, a pattern Korean dramas have leaned on as webtoon adaptations carry a built-in readership from WEBTOON into television.

The live-action series The Ordinary Jackpot, based on the web novel and webtoon of the same name, premiered on TVING on September 10 with its first two episodes on the service. It follows Eun-tae Gong (Jun-hyuk Lee), a burned-out department manager whose ordinary life and workplace change after he wins the lottery. Two episodes release every Thursday at 6:00 p.m. KST on TVING, and the series premieres on tvN on September 14 at 9:00 p.m. KST.
The Ordinary Jackpot stars Jun-hyuk Lee as Eun-tae Gong, a department manager worn down by work. The series is drawn from a web novel and webtoon of the same name, with the comic's art by Ugukjo and script by S.Inha.
The webtoon's own story has Gong becoming the youngest team leader at Hongseong International, a luxury brand licensing company, before a 1.8 billion won lottery win sends him back to the office and an underdog team. The English webtoon is on WEBTOON, and the series can be watched on Rakuten Viki.
