The 42,833, first of the two fourth prizes of the extraordinary draw of the Christmas Lottery, touched the municipality of La Laguna with four tenths sold per machine in three locations: the administration of the Tenerife North Airport Lottery, with two tickets; the Estanco Arvelo, in Carrer de Sabino Berthelot, in San Benito, and the Estanco Raquel, in Plaça del Doctor Olivera, which have cost 80,000 euros.
The number 42,833 was sung at 10.00 in the Canary Islands on the ninth wire of the fourth table and is endowed with 20,000 euros per tenth, which will be charged in full, because there will be no tax to the Treasury, as it is less than 40,000 euros.
In the administration located in the Los Rodeos Airport terminal, Marisela was working, who was surprised at the arrival of the LAE manager, who handed her the posters that accredited having distributed a part of the fourth prize of the Christmas raffle. Excited, she pointed out to the DIARIO that she was very happy: “It is the first award that I have distributed, because I have only been working for a few months.”
“We have distributed more than ten important prizes” (Euromillion, Primitiva, first and second of the National Lottery draw on Thursday and Saturday) “, he recalled,” but the Christmas draw is the one that makes me more excited and I feel an immense joy ” , he stated. It is one of the administrations that distributes “the most traveling prizes” of the Archipelago, therefore, it will be difficult to know where those tenths will have arrived, but Marisela wanted them to “help a family in need.”

A few kilometers away, in San Benito, the goddess fortune fell again at the Estanco Arvelo, located on Calle de Sabino Berthelot, 4, when she handed over a tenth of 42,833, which represents 20,000 euros for a lucky neighbor in the area. This office, located behind the church of San Benito, already made two families very happy in 2017 with the second Christmas prize (51,244) and who received 125,000 euros each. Candelaria Arvelo was excited and emphasized how happy she was to distribute the fortune again at Christmas.
“We are tremendously excited, I’m sure this award will help a lot, because there are people in great need” and I hope “it has touched someone who needs it. It seems not, but 20,000 euros is a very important amount ”. Arvelo found out that he handed out one of the prizes for the congratulatory messages he received on his mobile and he remembered the 2017 draw fondly. “It was a very beautiful month for us and for the neighborhood to give those two tickets that now join this one ”, without forgetting other prizes such as 160,000 euros in the Euromillion, and first and second in the National Lottery.
“The truth is that we have behaved well and it seems that fortune wants us a little,” he concluded. For his part, in the doctor Olivera square, Estanco Raquel gave a tenth of 42,833 to a lucky man. “I have been at the foot of the canyon for 35 years and I have never failed a day,” stressed Doña Raquel. Although it is not the largest prize that has been distributed, when delivering the million euros of the Euromillion, a second of the primitive or two first and two seconds in the National Lottery, “Christmas always has something special, the date, the tradition and the illusion that awakens ”.
