El Gordo de la Lotería del Niño 2022 irrigates millions of Logroño: "This prize takes me to retirement"

The Extraordinary Draw of the Children's Lottery has brought its luck to La Rioja, the community in which the first prize has been awarded in full. The number 41665 has irrigated the capital of La Rioja with 100 million euros, since it has been sold in the administration number six of the city, located at Calle Muro del Carmen, 4. The winner is a number to which this lottery office is subscribed since 1973 and which has also been sold since 1985 in the Trumpeta de Plata bar. The biggest prize in the Children's Lottery, which this Thursday has distributed 700 million euros, consists of 2,000,000 euros per series, that is, 200,000 euros per tenth. To make matters worse, in this case it has been awarded twice: in addition to being the number with the highest economic endowment, its completion in 665 has been one of the awarded withdrawals of three numbers,With which the Gordo will also distribute another 100 euros, that is, the total amount that a person takes with each tenth of the first prize is 200,100 euros gross.

Logroño has uncorked more wine than champagne to celebrate the rain of millions. There are several hundred winners, since the 500 tenths of the winning number have been sold tenth to tenth in the lottery administration and in the bar. The joy has overflowed in these two points of the city of Logroño, to which several winners have approached to celebrate their luck: “We divorced the bank! We're going to Formentera! ”Shouted a client from the Trumpeta de Plata bar.

Ángel and Ignacio Alda Pérez, in charge of the lottery administration, have sold 41665 every week since 1973, both in ordinary draws and in Christmas and Children's draws. “It is a number to which we are subscribed throughout the year and only we sell. It is something we inherited from our grandparents Mari Carmen and Marco. It is a tribute to them ”, says Ángel at the gates of the lottery stand, with a glass of Rioja wine in hand and a tray with roscón de Reyes that he offers to his clients. They do not have any tenth of the 41665, but their satisfaction is “full”, says Ángel: “We are immensely happy, because luck has come to many families. There are even people who have passed away, but their children continue to buy the same number. And we want to dedicate it to our grandmother ”, who passed away in the summer of 2020.

In this office of the Aldas, approximately 28 series (280 tenths) of the first prize will have been sold - their managers did not yet know with total certainty. The remaining 22 series have been purchased at the Trumpeta de Plata bar. The cafeteria at the Haro

, which had reserved nine tenths, has also taken a pinch

, points out Francisco, an administration employee. Manuel has reached this point, with his tenth in his portfolio, happy and with clear ideas about the destination that he is going to give the 168,080 euros after deducting the bill that the Treasury charges: “I am already old and in poor health. This award brings me to retirement; I'll talk to the company to see what they offer me and I'm going ”.

In the western part of the city, in a middle-class neighborhood that has grown a lot in population for a couple of decades, the bustle inside the Trumpeta bar was tremendous. Yoli Jiménez and her daughter Yolanda, surely millionaires without knowing it, continued to serve customers even though they knew they were lucky and very happy for having sold more than 200 tenths of the first prize. Many customers have come to this "traditional" tavern to thank the owners: "Mendos Reyes who have brought us", "you are the best, you deserve it", "millions of thanks", they said regulars to the bar.

Yoli was at work this afternoon when a client told her that they had touched 100 euros in the number that this bar sells. “First we thought it was only 100 euros, but then we verified that it was the first prize. This is incredible, ”says Yoli as she clears the bar. Yolanda daughter, also rolled up and with a permanent smile, acknowledged that "from now on we are going to work in a different way, with another hope." Neither Yoli nor Yolanda know exactly how much they got. The mother says that the tenth winners have her husband, Toño, "but he has not appeared here yet," he explains. Francisco, an administration employee with the winning number, also approached the bar, carrying some cards with the number 41665: “I have a great friendship with them.I have been coming every Friday to bring you this number for 25 years. They are humble and hard-working people. They deserve it, ”says the lottery.

The second prize has gone to the number 44469. It is endowed with 750,000 euros per series, that is, 75,000 euros per tenth, and has been one of the most distributed in this Thursday's draw.

The tenths have been sold in numerous cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Valencia, Albacete, Córdoba, Malaga, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, San Sebastián, Vitoria, Alicante, Palma, Oviedo, Burgos, Córdoba, Granada and Almeria.

"Here if we have distributed luck to someone, it is workers, that is our audience," says Pilar Vega, owner of the Atocha (Madrid) administration in which she has won a second prize in the Lotería del Niño. The lottery ensures that those who stop to try their luck in their business are mainly those who come and go every day from the towns around Madrid to the capital, reports

. “At seven in the morning, many times there are already people queuing here,” says Vega. They were not planning to open today, but when they were informed that they had sold the second prize, she and her employee went to her business to raise the blind. "I said: 'Surely it is not in the other administration, right?" Laughs Vega. El Gordo de Navidad was sold in this very

a few days ago - in another administration - and this time it was their turn to distribute luck to them.

The second prize was also sold in Madrid, on Calle San Millán, in an administration where Javier López works: “It is a number paid to this administration, there are customers who buy it regularly, so it is to be assumed that this time also, although no one has come to collect yet ”.

"It is a rare number, when figures are repeated, people prefer another, but so that everyone can see that everything touches," adds López.

His family has had this administration since 2012 and it is the first time they have given such a high award.
