Lotería Valdés is a lottery store located in Rambla de Barcelona since 1905.
On March 29th 1905, Miquel Valdés received from the Ministry of Finance (Dirección General del Tesoro Público del Ministerio de Hacienda de Madrid), the credential authorizing to be founded as a first class Lottery Shop placed at Barcelona named as Lotería Valdés.
It was Christmas 1935. Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the Shop, Lotería Valdés shared out the first Big Prize of its history.
This lucky number worth 15 million of pesetas (the spanish old currency).
Another “Gordo”: In 1946 the number 45590 was also lucky, the Big Prize. And Lotería Valdés shared it out!
This book (The Lucky Lottery Shop), written by the historian Daniel Venteo, is a trip through the history of the city of Barcelona and the most important Lottery Shop of the Rambla.
Through 100 years of history this book makes a portrait of a time, a people, a city and the history of Lotería Valdés.
Do not miss to buy one number for Christmas (22nd December) or "El niño" (5th January). Good Luck!
