The extraordinary El Niño raffle he passed this January 6 almost on tiptoe through the Archipelago. Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote took a pinch of the distributed second prize -in fact, Cantabria and La Rioja were the only autonomous communities where the 72289 was not sold-. Specifically in the Canary Islands, eleven administrations distributed a total of 17 lucky tenths or what is the same, they watered the Islands with 1,275,000 euros. An amount less than that of the last two years. The first prize, 89603 and 200,000 euros for each ticket, was sold in its entirety in the town of L’Escala, in Girona. While the third, 18918, stayed between Lugo, Guillena (Seville) and Alzira (Valencia).
The Alisios shopping center became on this Three Kings day the epicenter of fortune in the Canary Islands. Chance once again touched the administration run by Jonathan García, the Duende. In his case, they sold seven tenths of 72289, for which they graced a handful of families with a total of 525,000 euros. This branch of Tamaraceite thus begins to become a landmark of pilgrimage in the capital; and it is that they have given an El Niño prize for the second consecutive year and already on December 22 they premiered in the Christmas draw with a tenth of the Gordo.
Gran Canaria, the most graceful island
The truth is that Gran Canaria was the most graceful island in this El Niño raffle, scratching the goddess of luck almost one million euros. Most of it fell to the Tamaraceite shopping center; nevertheless, five other administrations from all over the insular geography caught a pinch of this second prize. Even in the municipalities of the south and southeast, where on December 22 they were overwhelmed by not pinching a single tenth prize in the extraordinary Christmas draw.
The 72289 also ended up at Calle José y María, 34, in Lomo los Frailes, where by chance El Niño already distributed a second one a year ago. Also in the capital of Gran Canaria, the lotteries of the El Gallo Inglés bazaar in Vegueta, on Reyes Católicos street, sold a tenth. In the north of the island, Moya’s office number 2, at 7 Luján Pérez street, sold another ticket for the second. In the south and southeast, goddess luck knocked on the door of the Cita shopping center, in Playa del Inglés; and the old Monroy Tobacco Shop, on Blas Pascal de Vecindario street.
Tenerife and non-capital islands
This second prize was also agreed upon in Tenerife, although in this case they settled for a pinch of 300,000 euros distributed among four administrations in the southern zone. The lucky lottery offices are the La Curva bar, in the Cabo Blanco neighborhood, Arona; the Torviscas Stop and Shop supermarket, in Costa Adeje, the Hermano Pedro administration, on Calvario street in Granadilla de Abona and Finally, at the legendary La Chasnera gas station on the TF-1 motorwayplace more than usual.
Among the non-capital islands, the only one that took a pinch from goddess luck was Lanzarote. The only tenth winner in rabbit lands was sold in the already known as Doña Manolita de Lanzarote, in the Deiland shopping center in the municipality of San Bartolomé. And it is that, like the gas station in the south of Tenerife, it is an essential of these dates in the Archipelago.
El Niño thus left less luck in the Islands than in the last two years. If in 2021 chance watered the Archipelago with more than two million euros, with tenths of the first prize included, and in 2022 only the administrations of the eastern province were around that same amount, on this occasion the goddess luck has been somewhat more modest with the Archipelago.
The Islands thus had to settle for this second prize, since the combinations awarded with the first and third prize passed by. The 72289 was shipped in tens of localities distributed throughout the national territoryboth in towns and in provincial capitals -from Madrid to Barcelona passing through Málaga, San Sebastián, Valladolid or León-.
Sales grow 5%
Sales for the extraordinary draw of the El Niño Lottery in the Canary Islands reached 33.63 million euros, which is 4.95% more than in the edition of a year ago, according to provisional sales data from Lotteries and State bets. In this way, spending per inhabitant stands at 15.48 euros, below the national average, as usual, located at 16.74 euros per inhabitant. By province, Santa Cruz de Tenerife leads spending in this draw with 17.33 euros per person, while in Las Palmas it was 13.77 euros per inhabitant. In total, in the western islands tenths were sold for 18.09 million euros, 5.95% more than last year; and in the eastern ones 15.54 million euros, 3.8% more. Chance has its things and the distribution of the winning prizes was the reverse of this distribution.
