El Gordo Out of work farm labourer wins Euro 400,000


Thursday December 24,2015 : EL GORDO GOOD FOR THIS AFRICAN REFUGEE
 
Out of work farm labourer wins Euro 400,000.
 
Life has suddenly improved for a Senagalese refugee identified only as Ngame and his wife, who settled in Spain eight years ago after being rescued from a sinking boat whilst trying to reach Spain from Africa.
 
The presently unemployed farm worker was one of the residents of Roquetas de Mar who bought an El Gordo lottery ticket which this week paid him Euro 400,000.
 
Ngame told the regional daily newspaper La Voz de Almeria:
 
“I just can’t believe this, I can tell you that on some days we do not have five euros between the two of us.”
