If Manoli were a work of art, it would be

Picasso's

Guernica

.

If it were a monument, it would be the Eiffel Tower or the Trevi Fountain.

And if it were an attraction, it would be the Dragon Khan.

One of those things that wherever you go you have to visit or enjoy.

But what Manoli is is a star, literally and figuratively.

It is not even 7 in the morning and the lights of his Star of Bethlehem costume already illuminate the doors of the Royal Theater - without forgetting the golden garland as a trim.

At 84 years old, he has been waiting to enter since yesterday at noon.

"And I'm not the first, I'm the third this year," she still jokes despite the lack of sleep.

"I'm very happy because last year I got a fifth prize. The bad thing is that I had to watch it from home."

She does not even know how many years she has been watching the Draw live at the Teatro Real, but she continues there year after year with the intention of making war. "He is

going to touch me inside the theater and I am going to roll the biggest one

. Even if I get a third prize," he says while urging the security guard to open the doors: "Come on, open the door for us."

And if an institution like Manoli asks for it, I wish it was fulfilled instantly.

"They are coming, they are coming. If the Lord listens to me."

Perhaps the help of her companion, the Bishop of León -not the real one-, another of the classics of the draw, has helped her with the Most High.

There they both go together on the way to the stalls, where the pandemic has forced them this year to keep a seat away, taking

selfies

with the rest of the spectators.

As if they were on the Christmas red carpet, shining with their own light.

They, along with Dionisio, a bright maroon jacket and bow tie, almost like a child from San Ildefonso with color and a few more gray hair, are among the veterans of the Sweepstakes who last year the pandemic prevented them from attending. "

Tonight I dreamed that my number, 30222, would come out, and that is because it will touch me

," commented this man at the doors of the Royal Theater before making friends with a couple of teenagers in the room. That which takes because the dream of the Fat ...

But the stoppage due to the 2020 pandemic, which left the bleak image of an empty Royal Theater, which has brought, above all, new spectators and new costumes: squid, Bugs Bunny, elf or dead buffalo (yes, there is ).

Because

you can go home without your award, but not without your good image disguised

within an emblematic venue in Madrid.

One of them is Adela, who arrived from Seville on the AVE and dressed as a Christmas tree with red and green garlands.

"I would see him every year at home in disguise and this year here I bring my 15 little numbers that I can't stop dreaming of being touched," he says.

And hasn't the increase in cases from the pandemic slowed you down to travel?

"And

or I have my two doses and I bring my mask so I have no problem,

" he says.

A few doses, although neither Pfizer nor Moderna, were also carried by some of those present in the Giveaway.

This was how they envisioned

a few cans of beer, a bottle of anise, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of gin

that were huddled next to those who were queuing to enter.

Those closest to them denied that they were his.

"We don't know anything about this," joked a group of friends from Salamanca with a suspicious laugh first thing in the morning.

The naps that were seen in the stalls - with sunglasses and an indecipherable mestizo costume between Peppa Pig and the Pink Panther -

also pointed in the same direction.

"Not at all," joked some of those affected that each award was the one who encouraged the show.

So did Rafael or El Kiki de La Algaba, depending on whether they prefer to use the real or artistic name.

"I have four tenths, but I have not brought them, I have left them in Seville at home," says this flamenco singer dressed in a mask, a shirt and a European flag with the Betis crest.

In case his team was not clear with the clothing, he warns: "

I sing some Christmas carols to you as well as the Betis anthem in here

."

But it does not just start.

Despite the social distance that the Covid obliges, the cheers and applause did not stop at the Teatro Real with each award. "You really are worth it," those present shouted at Salvador Constantin and Luis Alcides, when they sang in just a few minutes a third, a fourth and a fifth prize while waiting for the Gordo.

With him, at 12.12, madness came and the social distance and the raffle ended. Who cares about the Ómicron variant when they are distributing four million euros that another year does not reach us? Who cares to keep watching balls come out when they are no longer going to win 400,000 euros? Indeed, nobody. "Another, another, another", the bishop of León started the shouting, but there was no luck. El Gordo was number 86,148 and it was no longer going to change. "Why are we going to stay if the good is no longer going to touch us?", Summed up a man with resignation as he crossed the curtains of the theater on his way to the street.

Manoli and the bishop of León must have thought the same from the front lines.

They held hands and headed down the almost deserted corridor on either side.

No prize and no mess.

Or not.

Because at the start they still had time to take a couple more photos like the stars they are.
