On October 2, Raúl, a 27-year-old resident of Alicante, found himself celebrating a particularly fortunate birthday. The reason for his joy was a €10 raffle ticket he had purchased online on August 16, which had won him a new home in Cuevas del Becerro, near Ronda, worth approximately €180,000. The property features over 100 square metres of living space spread across two floors, including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, and an outdoor patio with a laundry area.
To help Raúl furnish his new abode, organizers also provided a €20,000 gift voucher from furniture retailer Muebles Benítez. Keys to the residence are set to be handed over on Monday, October 5. The Alicante-based company, Arkipromo, which organized the raffle, intended to award two houses, but only one was claimed, as the second winning number, 148982, had never been purchased.
Despite the disappointment that only one house was awarded, Arkipromo executives expressed satisfaction with the initiative, which aimed to make homeownership more accessible. The raffle, promoted as a means of achieving home ownership amidst Spain's housing challenges, attracted significant attention during the summer. Arkipromo's CEO, Antonio Gil, emphasized that the company would cover part of the tax obligations and expenses related to the prize to assist Raúl. However, it remains unclear whether the winner will face additional financial burdens.
