For the

second consecutive year

the main prize of the Lottery falls to Reus.

Although there was more joy in

Riudecols

, the town that houses the textile company that acquired 80% of the tenths:

Indústries Teixidó

.

One of her employees got married in 2014. During her honeymoon, she met another couple from Madrid, with whom she and her husband became friends.

That year they decided to

exchange Christmas lottery

... and luck traveled to this town in the province of Tarragona.

Well, more than five years later, joy made the trip back to the Spanish capital and the Madrid couple got a pinch of the Fat.

And it is that in the

La Pastoreta

de Reus administration they sold most of the 72,897 to this company while the rest was distributed through the window.

He was elected by the president of the Indústries Teixidó Company Committee,

José Lucena

, who every year is in charge of looking up the number and making the ballots with the factory's logo.

The company was founded in 1952 by Artemi Teixidó, who died in April at the age of 92.

This 2020, in a more anticipatory way, he came to the administration months before when he used to.

"

I always went in September and I kept the one that was available

, but this time I went in July and I could choose between several. It was the one I liked the most," adds Lucena.

In the factory they have distributed 450 tenths between workers and families

, about 180 million euros that according to the workers' representative "does not give to retire, but to cover holes".

That is why he indicated that he

does not expect a "stampede" of employees to unsubscribe

, although he does not rule out that some, with an age close to retirement, think about it.

It has been a complicated year for the company due to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus that led to two ERTEs for several months.

The 140 remaining workers continue their workday in three shifts.

The number was

widely distributed

by the municipalities in the area close to Reus, since the workers reside nearby.

Although, as in the case of the tenth sent to Madrid, it may be the case that someone sends it to relatives and acquaintances.

Cava was not lacking in the traditional celebration.

It is the second consecutive year that Reus distributes the Fat and there are residents of Riudellots who have managed to

obtain a prize on both occasions

, they comment from the company.

Sónia assured that she

bought a tenth because a friend had it last year and "due to her luck" they wanted to play the same number, graced by El Gordo.

Both have been awarded

.

A small part of the numbers were sold over the counter.

Nerea explains that her mother had serious health problems, so the award will serve to start the year "full" after having had a bad time this 2020. Òscar Bausà, the administrator of La Pastoreta who

distributed 240 million euros of 72,897

, said who has sold 600 tenths of the first prize and added that he hopes that it will be distributed throughout the region due to the situation left by the health and economic crisis.

In addition, he pointed out that

when El Gordo came out he was in the barbershop: "My protocol is that every Christmas draw I go to the barbershop to cut my hair, it is a tradition ... or a hobby

.

"

What is clear is that Reus wants to continue with the celebration of obtaining prizes after falling a good part of the Gordo two consecutive years in this town.

This Tuesday afternoon, at the gates of the administration, there was a long queue of customers waiting to obtain new tickets to participate in other draws.

Word has undoubtedly spread that luck calls for luck.
