The lucky person who scratched and won 500 thousand euros on "Il Miliardario" at the tobacconist's newsstand in the "Le Palme" shopping centre is said to be a worker from Sinnai.

Alfio Atzeni , the manager of the place, says that the news could be true: the man would often pop into the business at the end of work. Today, however, no one saw him and he probably didn't go to work to start the necessary procedures to cash in the mountain of euros that suddenly made him rich.

Erika Ligas, Dolores Manca and Claudia Perra , clerks at the newsagent's/tobacconist's, found themselves in line this morning with customers wanting to buy L'Unione Sarda or a few packs of cigarettes. And everyone was asking the same question: "But who's the winner? Is he from Sinnai, or from some other nearby town? Anyway, lucky him, now he's settled for life."

At the tobacconist run by Alfio Atzeni, a lot of money was won, with other lucky “scratch cards” of 300 thousand euros, 50 thousand euros, 10 thousand and 5 thousand euros.
