The ONCE Cuponazo lottery leaves more than six million euros in Antequera

The draw of the Cuponazo de la ONCE this past Friday has distributed its largest fortune in the town of Antequera, with one coupon winning 6,000,000 euros and nine additional coupons of 40,000 euros each, totaling 6,360,000 euros, sold by María Dolores Pacheco. This adds to the 400,000 euros in Roquetas de Mar (Almería), 80,000 in Seville, and 40,000 in Algeciras, as reported by ONCE in a statement.

María Dolores Pacheco, who has been an ONCE seller since 2015, spread the luck from her sales point next to the town's hospital. "I can't believe it, this is so big," she said upon hearing the news. "It's the first time this has happened to me, but it's an immense joy, I'm eager to get to my post and tell everyone," she remarked, emphasizing that "it’s very special, knowing that I've brought so much joy to my town is an incredible feeling, I want to go back and let them realize what a beautiful thing has happened."

She already almost considers herself hospital staff, and amid the hustle of worried people, she "could help, and in such a big way." Now, she is eager for everyone to know "when bad things happen they need to be talked about, so when there are good news, like now, I also would like to share my joy with everyone who is there day by day, helping," concluded the seller.

The draw of the Cuponazo this past Friday, December 5, was very generous to the Andalusian region, leaving another 400,000 euros in the town of Roquetas del Mar, 80,000 euros with two coupons in the Sevillian capital, and 40,000 euros with one coupon in Algeciras. In addition to Andalusia, this ONCE draw brought prizes to Galicia, Murcia, and the Valencian Community.
