After sending home some money to a friend in Senegal he was down to his last five Euros. Then someone bought him an El Gordo de Navidad ticket for Christmas and it changed his life.The 36-year-old was watching television when the news broke about the success of Roquetas de Mar in the El Gordo de Navidad Christmas draw. He saw the winning numbers, checked his ticket and “just could not believe it” when realizing he'd won 400,000 Euros."An intense emotion overwhelmed me, I did not expect it at all," he says. I followed the Spanish Christmas Lottery draw every year on TV, but I had never imagined that a Senegalese or an immigrant could win it one day.”It took a while for the El Gordo de Navidad win to sink in.
