Vecindario is buzzing with excitement after Thursday's La Primitiva draw crowned a new multi-millionaire in the Gran Canarian town. A staggering €88 million jackpot has landed in the hands of one lucky player who purchased the winning ticket from the lottery ticket office located on Calle Bentejui.
The winning numbers in this life-changing draw were 8, 31, 33, 40, 41, and 42, with the complementary number 48 and the refund number being 7. The Joker combination that evening was 2686917.
This is the second-largest prize in the history of La Primitiva, which has turned a modest 5-euro bet into a jaw-dropping €88,199,463. The winner, whose identity remains unknown, placed their bet online through the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website, linked to the administration office, 'Juan El Chico,' in Vecindario.
This extraordinary win came from a carefully chosen set of numbers, rather than a random selection, and the gamble paid off big time. The total prize includes jackpot of €87,403,512.45 and an additional €795,951.09 from the first category (6 correct numbers).
This remarkable win is one of the largest ever awarded in the Canary Islands and the second-largest in Spain, just behind the €102 million prize given in Barcelona in 2015. However, the Canary Islands still hold the national record with a €190 million EuroMillions jackpot won in 2017 at the El Mirador Shopping Centre in Las Palmas.
