State Lotteries and Betting has presented this Thursday its campaign for the Extraordinary Christmas Draw 2022. This year they are three announcements based on three true stories (Trip, vika Y three orchids) Y in two of them the protagonists are the Basque actors Kandido Uranga and Josean Bengoetxea.
In the first story (Three Orchids) the protagonists are a lighthouse worker (Josean Bengoetxea) and a florist, Julia. To him, Ulises, a tenth came flying. The ticket has written on the back with a marker “For Julia. Three Orchids”. The ticket is awarded and he decides to Google the phrase. He leaves, of course, the flower shop and goes there and, when she goes to attend to something in the store, Ulises leaves her the winning ticket at the counter.
In the second (Vika) a worker from a company in charge of making Christmas lights and decorations helps a citizen from outside of Spain who has just joined and who does not speak the language very well and does not know very well how to start. She advises him and when they have coffee over time she tells him one day “Shall we share a tenth? Here the friends do it”, she tells him. The newcomer’s ear-to-ear smile and her glassy eyes clearly respond to that invitation.
In the third (Trip)A pastor (Kandido Uranga) walks kilometers with his sheep in the rain, from one side to the other, until they reach a hospital where a friend of his is convalescing and to whom he wants to give the tenth that they have always bought in the raffle.
Unlike the first case, in the other two it is unknown if they will receive the prize.
As every year the draw for the Christmas lottery will be held on December 22th.
