The Caminito de Teror lottery administration, from Ruymán Verona, has done it again. He achieved it in 2018 and after ringing Manolito’s cowbell, the establishment’s mascot, for the second time in its history, the children Yesica and Francisco sang loudly singing 88008, sold at their store, to which was added a fifth prize of which they sold 164 tenths. Total: 1,400,000 euros between ciders and coffee with milk.
ANDThe day was warm at number 14 Venezuela Avenue, where the Caminito de Teror lottery administration is located, andstrategically located in front of the health center to prevent syncope. It hadn’t struck ten in the morning and its owner, Ruyman Verona, was already drinking, well actually just opening the first bottle of cider for the sale of 88979, a fifth prize, yes, but with a trick. The hidden rooster consisted of the sale not of one, but of 164 tenths of the trip, an event that took place when the members of the Biker Friends association Canary Islandsthose of the Peña Envoy 6they decided to stop at the town, take the donkey out of the motorcycles and pay a visit to Verona. In total, a coup of one million euros through the exhaust pipe.
There Verona still maintained the type, and after the ritual of uncorking the cider, which by the way gave out a stream of foam that almost reached where they put the vaccines, a coffee with milk was poured with the pachorra typical of those who give awards like the one that dip sponge cake.
Not in vain, in the seven years that his eclectic establishment has been open, in which he sells lollipops as well as blessed sanpancracios, he has accumulated milestones – such as a Gordo de Navidad in 2018 -, which he tries to summarize in a large vertical poster that It has at the entrance, but it falls short every now and then. “We have to update it,” he indicated while the children of San Ildefonso were clearly growing up and changing their innocent children’s voices to the out-of-tune croaks of an adolescent rooster in straight After announcing the fifth, such was the soporific drought of prizes that it would not be relieved until after noon.
In view of the delay, for the eleven o’clock the expectation was growing at the lottery point. The place has a lot of traffic by car and pedestrian, especially the former because it is one of the entrance routes to the town from the summit, medians and higher neighborhoods of Teror itself, in such a way that as means of transport were gathered communication, sympathizers, envious people and novelists, the drivers were encouraged to greet by playing the pita with great cheer and fuss, and the best known to lower the window and shout “oh Ruymán, you’re a machine, man!”, in such a way that something was going to happen yes or yes. A clue was given by Verona himself when he confessed to this newspaper that for this draw he had sent no less than 25,000 numbers, something that by simple mathematics predicted a nuclear fusion.
Or a bell. And that did Ruymán, when he became somewhat bored, decided to hit the cowbell of the mascot he has at the entrance of the establishment, a giant reproduction of his father, Manolito Verona, which he has as a tribute and memory. «The last time I rang this cowbell it fell Fat». And he was so angry. But it was at 12:15 that the children Yurena and Francisco finally launched the very bizarre 88008, awarded with 400,000 euros. El Gordo, in short. Another commotion is formed in the Caminito de Teror waiting for Yurena Verona and Dunia Santana to search the Loterías website to see where the hell it had landed.
Journalists with earpieces began to say places. Yes in La Aldea, yes in Hoya Parrado, San Francisco de Paula, yes in Arucas and so on up and down.
And bingo. Yurena and Dunia certify the sale, and that’s when the riot breaks out, a real tiberium when the two of them go out behind the counter to get Ruymán, creating a commotion of jumps, screams and tears among the motley store, startling Saint Michael, Saint Judas Tadeo, Saint Rita and the Virgin of Carmen, and even Saint Benedict, figures that he sells in a lucky pack – number, saint and amulet -, and that give him, for the second time in his short history, a Gordo like a pine. «“Look, I told you, that you had to hit the cowbell,” communicated to this special envoy to the lottery fact, without giving credit to one morning that, between one thing and another, he distributed an estimate of at least 1,400,000 euros, a large part of that amount, by the grace of “the Virgin of the Pino ». So much so, that this winding 88008 ends in the same number as the day of the big festival of the patron saint of Teror and the entire island, September 8, “which is the one that clients ask me for the most” for obvious reasons. .
So if they wanted 8, with the 88008, three cups and two zeros. Hours later he extended Ruymán again on the phone, “I’m catching my breath,” and returned to the pit to pay the prizes.
