El Gordo: Senegal man wins €400,000 in Spain lottery
A migrant from Senegal who travelled to Europe by boat has won €400,000 (£294,000; $436,000) in Spain's Christmas lottery.
The man, named Ngagne, travelled from Morocco to Spain in 2007.
Ticket-holders in his coastal town of Roquetas de Mar won first prize, and a share of €640m in the "El Gordo" (The Fat One) lottery.
Unlike many other lotteries, there is no single jackpot in El Gordo. Instead the winnings are distributed among thousands of people.
It might be worth explaining that there were lots of winning tickets that were bought within the same town and that the jackpot of €640 million is shared between the winners.
