On July 31, during the Pandorga festival, Ramón García Muñoz, known as ‘Monchi’, a sales agent for ONCE, made history in the Los Ángeles neighborhood of Ciudad Real by selling 36 coupons worth 35,000 euros each at the kiosk he runs, totaling 1,260,000 euros in prizes.
Ramón, known for his dedication and kindness, has his usual point of sale in the Los Ángeles neighbourhood, which today begins its festivities dedicated to the patron saint. Luck has smiled on the neighbours on such a special day for the community, framed by the traditional celebrations of the Pandorga, a festival that honours the Virgen del Prado and is a symbol of identity and unity in Ciudad Real. The Pandorga, with its mix of tradition, music and gastronomy, has become an even more memorable celebration this year thanks to the good fortune it has brought with it.

Ramón García Muñoz, the lucky ONCE vendor who gave away 1,160,000 euros in the Los Ángeles neighbourhood, expressed his “immense joy” after the event. “I am very happy, and even more so having been with ONCE for such a short time, not even a year, and to give away a prize here in the Los Ángeles neighbourhood, where I have lived for 6 or 7 years, which none of my colleagues have ever given away, is something indescribable,” he said excitedly.
“It was yesterday when the Lord wanted us to win,” he says. The seller says that almost all the lucky coupons have been won individually. Ramón has pointed out that “several neighbours have already been here, we have opened the champagne, and some have already gone to deposit it,” he said about the euphoria experienced after the draw. In addition, Ramón had a coupon “because I usually keep one of those who play here in the neighbourhood.” The Los Ángeles neighbourhood begins today its patron saint festivities in honour of the Virgin for whom it bears its name. Luck has arrived in Pandorga and is staying to shower the neighbourhood in its big week with more than a million euros.
