La Palma is experiencing the most devastating tragedy in its history. Three months of volcanic eruptions at Cumbre Vieja have left more than 1,000 hectares beneath lava, mud, and red-hot rock. Entire neighborhoods of La Laguna, Los Llanos, El Paso or Tazacorte. There are churches, schools, a cemetery and roads. Dozens to hundreds of avocado and banana farms. Many of the thousands of residents who were evacuated from high-risk zones experienced their lives being destroyed by the lava flows.
Only strong public commitment can save lives and bring about the recovery of the island. But the Christmas raffle pots were there to offer some lighthearted entertainment amid the pain and suffering.
The fourth prizes 42833 and 91179 left two series in two Palm towns: Santa Cruz (capital) and San Andrés y Sauces (san Andres y Sauces). Ricardo Cobiella’s administration sold ten tenths off 42833, and distributed 200,000 Euros. Cobiella stated that “it felt in the environment that someone had to touch.”

The same amount was also delivered, this time from a series 99179. It was delivered through Avenida de los sauces 12. In its generous distribution to half of the country, the first quarter (42833), also remembered four other Canary Islands. Tenth tickets were sold in Tenerife Lanzarote Fuerteventura, Fuerteventura, and Gran Canaria with a 20,000 Euro bonus.
They were asked to wait in the two rooms. They were called in the middle of the draw at the fourth and fifth tables. However, they emerged almost in a straight row with only 15 minutes between them. The first hour and a quarter was very boring and devoid of joy. There was a peak in hyperactivity after that. The second prize came ten minutes earlier than eleven and the first quarter came at the edge. The second quarter came fourteen minutes later.
Each of the tenths in the fourth prizes is graced with 20,000 Euros, which means that the owner of each euro played will receive 1,000 Euros. The lucky winner will also receive the entire prize without any Treasury withholdings. Since last year, no taxes have been applied to the beneficiaries of this extraordinary draw, unless the amounts exceed 40,000 euros.
Two minutes before eleven, the first prize, 42833 was awarded. It was at the bottom table of the fourth table. The song was sung by Aya Ben Hamdouch (famous for her very long “one million euros” that she decorated the draw four years back – and Alexander Rene. Half a million people in Spain were affected by the number, as more than 100 administrations from many provinces sold just a few tenths each series. El Espinar (Segovia) had the largest number of winners, with 450 tenths sold. Comillas, (Cantabria) had another 400. Seville and Elche, with fifteen series each, were second and third, respectively.
91179, the second quarter, was sung by Salvador Constantin on the first wire at the fifth table around 11:12 AM by Luis Alcides and Luis Alcides. It had a distinct Galician flavour. The majority of the prize, 130 series worth 26 million euros, was sold between Caldas de Reis and Pontevedra administrations on the Island of Arousa. One had 920 tenths, while the other had 380. Andalusia was the third most elegant territory. Jaen’s Administration Number 3 sold 34 series.
The administration of San Vicente de Alicante street was the first to use the first room. It is the oldest street in the city and was built in 1939 at the end the Civil War. This first Christmas was the first in 80 years. 91179, on the other hand, allowed Adolfo Ortiz to sell a series Christmas rooms just four months after he opened a Logrono business. He assured him that he was “Rookie’s lucky” and he smiled from ear to ear.
