There was dancing in the streets after a tiny Spanish village with just 2,000 inhabitants has scooped a €720 million (£600m) jackpot in the country's famous Christmas lottery.
The top prize in the €2.52bn (£2.1bn) draw - dubbed "El Gordo" (The Fat One) - will be shared between the 1,800 of Granen's 2,000 residents who bought tickets bearing the number 58268.Each will receive around €400,000 (£333,000) for their €20 (£17) ticket.
Pilar Azagra, who runs the town's lottery store, said that the windfall was more than welcome as several companies in Granen had closed because of the economic crisis.
Spain is struggling to emerge from a near two-year recession that has left it with a 21.5% unemployment rate - the highest in the eurozone.
