MADRID (AP) -- About 35 African migrants, including at least one rescued at sea from an overcrowded wooden boat, are among the top prize winners of Spain's Christmas lottery, according to the owner of the lottery agency that sold more than 1,000 tickets that shelled out 400,000 euros ($438,000) each.

The winners who bought the tickets in the southern coastal city of Roquetas de Mar included migrants from Senegal, Mali and Morocco, agency owner Jose Martin told La Voz de Almeria newspaper in a story published Thursday.

Among them was a Senegalese man named Ngame who told Spanish media that he and his wife were rescued by Spain's coast guard in 2007 when their boat with about 65 people aboard was traveling from Africa's western coast toward Spain's Canary Islands.

Outside the lottery agency, Ngame was in tears as he clutched a photocopy of his winning ticket with the number 79,140. He thanked Spain for saving his life and giving him the chance to play the country's world famous lottery.

Awesome! Good for them. :D

its a racial stereotype that blacks don't work. you can see who the good people are here :2 cents::2 cents: some good comments :thumbsup:thumbsup Merry Christmas! I have to work some today it's all good.

That's nothing!

I hit it big when I got an email from a Nigerian Royal Family member needing to move $800 million U.S.D and asked me if I'd do it for them :)

Exactly, it's about time we gave something back to the Africans. They've been so generous :1orglaugh

the original story is real forest gump! :1orglaugh

well he has money now hope he gets out of there.

they sound deserving :)

well, in other article about it I red that he was doing some part time agricultural jobs...like many people in the province where he lives/lived

Hey, that's not nice!
Poor "refugees" deserve to get free money from the country that "welcomed" them, definitely no need to work. They suffered enough! Spanish people will work for them, country will "redistribute" money to them :thumbsup

And lol at the libby parasite trying so hard to defend the invader.

LOL only in the west west will people congratulate illegals at winning a local lotto. They should all be jailed, stripped of winnings and deported.

Traitorous scum :Oh crap

Thats a lucky guy

we know...

Watermelon/Chicken/Orange Drank stocks about to skyrocket. :2 cents:

like you dont eat any of those. beeyatch!

Official unemployment rate in Spain it's about 26%, but actually is much more since official unemployment rate only counts all those who are receiving the monthly unemployment benefit ("be on the dole" is how it is called in english slang??) but many others are not getting this, since already it finished for them and still not found any job. So they are not counting for the official unemployment rate.

I think it can be 40% and even 50%...

I don't know anyone who after losing his job found another... fortunately workers in Spain they have very good redundancy payment, which it has to be payed for the company (45 days per year worked) + monthly salary of unemployment benefit, which it can last 2 years (it depends on how much time the worker has traded to social security through the company)

Bad times for my country. What a lucky these africans.:2 cents:

yet everyone has money for cafe, copita y tapas :winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

At first i thought its brass :pimp

good for him, now send me 100$ postcard

Hihi of course :)
