It had been many years, even decades, since the central administration on Michelena Street in Pontevedra had distributed such a large prize. “We are super happy,” Celia, who has worked in this administration for 18 years, told ABC. A fifth Christmas lottery prize has been won … in the capital of Lérez. and a good part of the tenths was purchased by a company and the rest was distributed at the counter.
Concretely, 45 series of the number 60649, one of the fifth prizes, were sold. This represents a total of 2.7 million euros. However, when this newspaper contacted the administration by telephone, it still did not know how much it had sold. “You tell us, we just found out, now all the press is coming here.”
“We choose the company number, in fact”, explained Kity, another manager of the establishment, a little later in statements to Galician Television. “Now I am going to call him on the phone, because he is known”, added the lottery operator, who, out of caution, preferred not to reveal the name of the winning company.
The administration was delighted this morning, because it was common for the Lottery to extend to other surrounding locations, but not to the city center. “We were saying why we never get to the center from Pontevedra, and finally he arrived.
Pontevedra won a good part of this fifth prize, which was also sold to Roquetas de Mar (series 45), Málaga (45) and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (38). But in other Galician cities they also took their share: the administrations of Illa de Arousa, Sanxenxo and Orense each sold a series of this fifth prize.
