From Spain to Holland With Love: See How Christmas Miracles and Big Lotteries Connect Countries

He is celebrating the massive win of €375,000 in the Spanish Lotería Nacional , entering in the super draw with just 3 “decimos” (3 tenths from the original ticket).

Besides, he and his wife Lois are expecting their fourth grandchild to be born in March. The lucky winner jokes the Spanish name (José or Manuel) would be nice for the newborn: it would remind the baby about his granddaddy’s glorious win.

Geert is an experienced lottery player. That was the thing!

The father of two talks about his “career” of a lottery player: “I remember my very first winning ticket perfectly well. It was worth 500 euros, but… I lost it! I knew I’d left it in the kitchen. I turned the place upside down and I couldn’t find it anywhere. Then I realized… oh yes… I accidentally threw it away with the rubbish. That was funny. I’m just a bus driver and my wife is a housekeeper. Lois was very emotional that day. I saw tears in her eyes, she was shaking and whispering: “Can I finally go on vacation, Geert?” Being a selfless mother and granny, she hadn’t got a single minute for herself.”

“Neither I or Lois are big spenders. After years and years of endless saving, my wife was not psychologically able to buy something really expensive. When I gave her a new Louis Vuitton tote, she didn’t feel comfortable… What I want for myself? Probably, a new Range Rover Sport. Oh yes, one more thing to add: the luxurious vacation for Lois and a one month fishing trip somewhere in England for me.”

The happy winner says the money couldn’t have come at a better time, as their younger daughter is preparing to become a mother for the first time: “We have three grandchildren already, but still this win has come at such a perfect time. Our grandson will have such a good start with our help. I can’t describe my amazement with the words. Lotería de Navidad is a game with the largest prize pool in the world.
