Lady Luck knows no rest: she passes when she wants and where she wants. In Latina he stopped again last May 1st, a holiday, exactly in the bookshop of the bar, restaurant and diner 0773, along Via Pontina, where the huge win of 2 million euros was recorded with a 10 EUR.
«An incredible moment – says the owner of the business – What time was it? 4.35, and who can forget it! At that precise moment, with the place now practically emptied of the many customers who had chosen to have lunch there, there were few people.
«There were four of us at work at that moment, two boys and two girls, busy serving the last tables and expecting to close at 5.30pm. At a certain point a customer arrives, who had had an aperitif with a group of friends, and asks us for a Scratch Card, a Stellar Prize to be precise, worth 10 euros. He immediately scratched the coupon and we immediately realized that something had happened, because the customer seemed disorientated.”
Then, the surprise: the customer, visibly excited, approached the ticket office and showed the winning ticket: he had won 2 million euros.
Time to have the holders take a photo of the ticket, the winner immediately went to Rome, to validate the ticket directly at the State Monopoly, telling everyone and smiling: “I’m leaving, see you tomorrow!”.
Great emotion for the owners and employees of the business, who for the first time have recorded a win of this magnitude within the commercial activity.
