Ngagne is one of them. He travelled from Morocco to Spain in 2007 where he earned a refugee status.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body__introduction\">An unexpected event<\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">Not too long ago, the 35-year-old man experienced what could be one of the best feelings ever: he won the lottery! Ngagne won 400,000 euros in &#8220;El Gordo&#8221;, Spain&#8217;s annual Christmas lottery. He is one many to share 2.24 billion euros across the country.\u00a0Ngagne, along with other local residents of the city of Roquetas de Mar in Andalucia, is a lucky holder of ticket number 79140. He purchased a decimo, which is a tenth of a ticket for 20 euros.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">\u201cI can\u2019t believe this. I can tell you that at times we didn\u2019t earn five euros between us a day,\u201d Ngagne said, dedicating his stroke of fortune to his former boss who had recently laid him off. \u201cHe said we had to work things out for ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">Surprisingly all the tickets with the winning number were purchased in\u00a0the same store.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12792\" style=\"width: 702px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-12792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/cw3vcuexaailvyu.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/cw3vcuexaailvyu.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/cw3vcuexaailvyu-85x48.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CW3VcUeXAAIlVYu.jpg\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body__introduction\">A lucky man<\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">Ngangne&#8217;s adventure in Spain started in 2007 when he arrived in Spain with nothing but hope.
