In Jerez de la Frontera, luck smiled on Perico and Tani, a retired couple, who decided this Sunday to do something different: instead of playing their usual euro at Bonoloto, they bet two. This small change brought them a big surprise: a price of more than a million euros. “A neighbor walks by and says, Perico, something big happened in town,” Tani says with a laugh, remembering the moment they heard the news.
Perico, at first incredulous, was informed of this by his wife when she told him the news at the usual bar, where they had had their drink. traditional breakfast consisting of two coffees, two muffins and the winning ticket. “I took my cell phone… I don’t know what came over me. I grabbed the stick and went looking for it,” she says enthusiastically.
The price of exactly 1,125,087 euros He fell into a family that, according to the neighborhood lottery, “couldn’t happen to better people.” And although the retirees have already decided to share the prize with their children, they are also clear about realizing some personal dreams. Tani mentions that they will use some of the money to fix up the house, a wish they had long put off.
For his part, Perico surprises with his fantasy: instead of luxury cars or big purchases, he dreams of something more modest. “What do you want instead of a car?” they asked him, and he replied: “Since I became a mule driver, I want a donkey”. Of course, he has one clear condition: “Small, let it be small,” he jokes, imagining the animal that will accompany him in his garden.
So, as they begin to enjoy their newfound fortune, Perico and Tani are already making new combinations. “Not even a day has passed…Here we are again!”they laugh.
