Librería Jofri in Almuñécar did it again this year with a lottery win worth 400,000 euros, while over in Motril the lotería Virgen de La Cabeza sold tickets worth 200,000 euros.
Rumour has it in Almuñécar that the lucky ticket holder works in McDonald’s, which knowing the salaries that these fast-food outlets pay, will come in handy, should it be the case. The other possible winner is a bit more sketchy and just narrows it down to a ‘permanent Almuñécar resident.’
One Otíveño told me that it was someone in the village…
The people who run Motril lottery office, which is on Calle Nueva, were amazed – they said that a winning, Christmas lottery ticket hadn’t been sold there in the last 40 years.
In this case there is only one winner, as he or she bought the ten decimos that belonged to number 25296, meaning that instead of ten people getting 20,000 euros, he or she pockets the lot.
One of the two women who work in this lottery office explained that she had worked in the lottery office for 16 years and had not personally sold even one winning lottery ticket for the Christmas draw. Well, that’s all changed now.

Patrick: I had six decimos and only managed to get my money back (20 euros) on one of them: an 80% loss on the investment…
Meanwhile in my real world. Salobrena €780. Sadly amongst 100 persons.
Still it was worth the increased heart rate.
