María Pedrero, a seller from ONCE, has distributed 1,515,000 euros in La Puebla del Río. The prize includes a series of 500,000 euros and 29 coupons of 35,000 euros.

The Sevillian town of La Puebla del Río has been the scene of a significant stroke of luck. A seller from ONCE, María Pedrero, has distributed more than one and a half million euros among the residents of the municipality, according to the organization.

Last Wednesday, July 22, the daily ONCE draw left a total of 1,515,000 euros in prizes in this locality. The lucky series, worth 500,000 euros, was sold by Pedrero, who also handed out another 29 winning coupons of 35,000 euros each.

The seller, who works in the area of 'La Cuesta Colorá', one of the humblest in the municipality, has expressed her joy at having distributed the fortune. "It's the most important thing that has ever happened to me in my life," she declared.

According to ONCE, the bars El Garrotá and Cabrera, located in that same area, have been some of the points where the winning coupons were sold. The organization described the atmosphere in La Puebla del Río as a "hive of people excited about the fortune."

Pedrero emphasized that the residents of the locality are "very hardworking and humble," so there is no "greater happiness" for her than "making people happy." The seller previously worked in the cleaning service of a department store in Seville, but back pain led her to a disability that, in her words, "has opened the doors of ONCE for her."

"I like everything about my job, the contact with people and the day-to-day with them," Pedrero specified, highlighting that ONCE "has changed her life quite a bit."

The news has been received with great joy in the municipality, where many residents have benefited from these prizes. ONCE reminds that its daily draws distribute millions of euros across Spain every day, and on this occasion, luck has smiled upon La Puebla del Río.

For the citizens of the locality, this prize represents financial relief in difficult times. The seller, emotional, has assured that she will continue working with the same enthusiasm as always, hoping to be able to distribute joy among her clients again.
