Marcelino from the village of La Cañiza in Pontevedra say he loves his oxen as they were his children.

A butcher from Pontevedra called Marcelino has won nearly a million and a half Euros in the Primitiva lottery. He says that he always played the lottery with the same numbers in a bar in his local town of La Cañiza, and now he knows exactly what to do with his money.

He’s closing the butchers shop, giving away all his stock to his clients and will dedicate his time to looking after his two oxen which Marcelino says he loves as if they were his own children.
