He is a farmer, has 63 years, bet 7,200 euros «in cash, tracatrá», he tried two years ago with the same number and has probably won the biggest single prize of this Christmas Gordo draw: 18 million euros About 18 soles

Earlier this December, a Mollerussa neighbor entered the small tobacconist of Josep Saló, on Jacint Verdaguer street, and stared "staring" may be one of the ugliest numbers in this year's Gordo draw: 00750

"Two years ago, by pure chance, I had already sold that same number because here they give us surplus numbers, which people don't want," says Saló. « The beautiful ones are sold elsewhere . Realize that what we sell in four months is dispatched by a Lottery Administration in one morning, ”explains the man, who runs a modest tobacconist in which, by the way, he smokes like a carter.

Total, that two years ago, the mysterious man for whom everyone asked Josep yesterday in Mollerussa already did, attention to this, a kind of general rehearsal with the same number: «Yes, a general rehearsal like who says, yes: he took three series, which are 30 tenths, of that number . I was surprised, because the truth is that he is not a man who usually plays: here he only buys at Christmas, ”says the tobacconist.

Two years ago he did not touch anything, but that morning two weeks ago Josep, who has already seen "everything", had to raise an eyebrow when the client asked him how much he had of the number of marras.

-I have 36 series.

-Well, I want them all. If it touches, the family will be very happy, it was the unexpected answer.

«I told him: 'If he touches, I am a coffin' . And look. My mother, ”says Saló, and takes a drag.

The man first took the 36 series, 360 tenths "in electronic format: each series was a paper." Two weeks later he won the third prize of the Gordo. And yesterday Josep spent the day dodging questions around the town. «They tell me if it is this businessman or this other. But I shut up . I'm not going to get it out. An important part of my job is discretion ».

Rare things I've seen many in 38 years selling lottery, but something like this ... logically not

When we ask for the approximate age of the lucky one, the tobacconist answers for sure: "63 years." Man, Josep, then you know who he is. "Well, yes, I do, of course," he confesses with a half smile moments after telling several journalists that it is not known who the lucky one is. And it starts a little: the winner, he confesses, is a farmer in the area , with "two or three" children, "I think with a sister abroad," little friend of bars, "I think I've never seen him or drinking a coffee".

Josep, do you think he will have any attention with you, for having participated in such a stroke of fortune? "Man, what else would I want ... But that is your business, with me, of course, you have no obligation," says Saló, 60, 38 working at the family tobacconist.

For him, it is "very coincidentally" that he sold two years ago at his tobacconist, that he will not have sold more than 3,000 euros of this Christmas Gordo raffle, the same 00750, "but sometimes these things happen."

What could attract the farmer to that number? "The truth is that I don't know, but I think something can mean to him ... Because weird things I've seen many in 38 years selling lottery, but something like this ... logically not," says Saló, closing the its waterproof while it rains heavily in Mollerussa. "Go Sunday ..." he snorts. "This morning I was in the woods when they called me, and I've been on TV interviews all day."
