Success in Sant Antoni

Andrés Navarro sells lottery tickets in Sant Antoni. He was delighted at having sold up to ten decimos that landed the second prize in the El Niño draw. It’s been lucky buying tickets from him as he also sold fifth prize winners in the El Gordo de Navidad draw and some jackpot winning tickets in the regular National Lottery draws.

Just who won the second prize in Palmanova isn’t known. The ticket was purchased from a lottery machine so could be a local resident or perhaps a tourist. Whoever is the winner, the owner of the machine is pleased for them.

Other second prize winning tickets were sold in Alicante City and Malaga City. The third prize was worth €25,000 to each holder of a winning decimo. Players in Estepona were amongst the winners in the El Niño draw.
