The production team later confirmed the release, stating, "It is true that 'The Ordinary Jackpot' will be released on TVING on September 10."
The drama is based on a webtoon of the same name. It follows Gong Eun Tae, an ordinary sales employee who wins the lottery jackpot of 1.3 billion won (approximately $907,000). Although the prize is not enough to dramatically transform his life overnight, the experience inspires him to change himself. Instead of quitting, he returns to work the next day with a completely different outlook on life.

Joining Lee Jun Hyuk are Seo Hyun Woo and Oh Dae Hwan. Seo Hyun Woo plays assistant manager Yang Jun Ho of Sales Team 5, while Oh Dae Hwan plays Jung Sun Hyuk, the head of Sales Team 4.
