New millionaire in Malaga province: Once lottery draw delivers six million euros to just one ticket
In addition, nine more tickets have been awarded 40,000 euros each
Lady Luck smiles again on Malaga province. The Once lottery draw on Friday, 5 December, created a new millionaire in Antequera. Number 39162 (series 008) won a local ticket-buyer a prize of six million euros. In addition to this, nine more tickets of the same number brought other lucky people 40,000 euros per ticket.
The coupons were sold by vendor María Dolores Pacheco's who sets up her stand next to the Antequera hospital. "I can't believe it, this is so big," the vendor, who has been working for Once for 15 years, said. "It's the first time this has happened to me, but it's an immense joy. It's very special to know that I have brought so much joy to my town, it's an incredible feeling," she said.
She almost considers herself a hospital staff member, as she sees people's worries every day and hopes with them that they will win something. "When bad things happen, you have to share them, so when there is good news, like now, you have to share it too. So I would like to be able to share my joy with all those who are there every day, helping," Pacheco said.
