Between the jubilation of those present in the room and the expectations of all those who were watching the drums at home, the information arrived: Among the places where that number had been recorded was Puerto de la Cruz. But there were no winners. And so the three million euros that would have been distributed thanks to El Gordo were lost to the Island.
