Several Valencian administrations have been very lucky in this 2024 Niño draw by distributing the first and third prizes, although in amounts that they have not yet been able to determine or only a tenth and through the window in most cases. And several are ‘repeaters’ of Gordo de Navidad. As it is a holiday, many do not open and others have not been able to check how much luck they have distributed.
The 94,974 has been awarded the ‘Gordo’ of the Extraordinary Draw of ‘El Niño’ 2024, awarded with two million euros for the series and 200,000 euros for the tenth, and has been widely distributed throughout Spain and the Valencian Community.
In the case of Alicante, this award has been given to Alcoy, Alicante, Cox, El Campello, Elche and Orihuela (in two administrations); in Valencia in Aldaia, two administrations of Alzira and three of Gandia, Carcaixent, Mislata, Quart de Poblet, Moncada, Valencia and Xàtiva; and in Castellón, in one administration of the capital and another in Vinaròs.
Pedro Cámara is responsible for the administration of Aldaia La Gran Ilusión, number 3, and one of those that, in this draw, has distributed some of the first and some of the third. But he also gave the ‘Gordo’ at Christmas and five fifths. “When we give at Christmas, we give at El Niño,” he proudly exclaims, although he points out that at least what he has distributed is a tenth of each and at the window.
Thus, he detailed to Europa Press that they have received all the free consignment stock provided to them by the State Lotteries, which was one tenth of each number. This administration has distributed more luck in its history, such as a third of El Niño in 2010, another third of Christmas in 2019 or a second of El Niño in 2020.
This luck is repeated in Mislata where administration number 2, La Mágica, has distributed the first and the third, and was already lucky at Christmas by giving the Gordo and two fifths. So, a total of 2,150,000 euros. Now, its administrator, Pablo Tortosa, believes that a complete series of the first, more than a million, over the counter and on the web, to no association.
“We already thought Christmas was enough, but now it cannot be explained in words,” he summarized, and stated that he was “shaking and very nervous” after a “great effort” that was “comforted” by the distribution of prizes. “We don’t win but it is very gratifying that people come and thank you,” he said, and stressed to Europa Press that they have worked “a long, long time”, 13 years, and now “we are getting something.”
The owner of administration number 3 of El Campello, Pablo, has also sold a loose tenth through the first and third prize window thanks to an exchange of numbers with other administrations, ten, from all over Spain and some from the Valencian Community that They have also distributed.
He is one of the lucky ones who also shared luck at Christmas, with two fifths, but also this year marks 30 since he sold the entire Gordo in the town. “I hope it continues to be repeated, we are very happy,” he summarized.
José María Lendinez, from administration number 2 San Onofre de Quart de Poblet, assures that he is “on a roll” by selling, he estimates, a complete series of 94,974 per window, widely distributed among residents of the town, but he also sold part of a Gordo series.
And another of the lucky ones who has brought luck to his municipality is Emilio Fernández, from administration number ten of Gandia, who also has first and third in this draw. “We are with the arrow up,” he said, adding that he has decided to open the establishment because there are people who have come to celebrate, although no one says if they are awarded. “They didn’t do it at Christmas either,” he indicated, since he also delivered. And he has been an administrator for two and a half years.
