The Iberian bookstore, on Ricardo Carapeto avenue in Badajoz, is a party. A large group of friends and their families have gathered this morning to celebrate that They have been awarded the jackpot. Literal. Are 15 friends and share 5 tenths of the first prize of the Christmas Lottery, which they bought in August in Punta Umbría, where they usually go on vacation, also this summer. They have been one of the few in Extremadura who have been able to uncork bottles of champagne to celebrate. 2 million euros to distribute, which is still a lot of euros for each one.
Silvia Moruno can not cope with the business attending to the media. Every year they buy lottery in Punta Umbría. He gets emotional when he tells it, because “we all need it a lot, and the person who bought it is no longer with us, he has seen us from above.” Among them there are many situations that this award will diminish. There are them unemployed, with EREs, with complicated work situations. Someone will solve the mortgage. They don’t always buy the same number, they do in the same place. “It is the number that has come out.” This morning they thought they knew something, because they were awaiting the draw and as soon as the children of San Ildelfonso have sung the first prize, for now they have known. “It has touched us.” Now, “there are many things to cover, many things to close and start new things.” Some whim, perhaps. “But the main thing is to take things away,” insists Silvia. Of course, they will return to Punta Umbría
