Sir, help me. You're the only one who can help me.
Here's my… I need money.
Here's my number. Please, help me.
Sir, take these balloons. I need help, remember me!
Hey, buddy, no.
Hey, sir, wait, where are you going?
A once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.
And this time, it hit the city of Los Ángeles.
Just hours before the deadline
to claim the 2.4 billion peso prize from the March 4th Kino drawing…
MY FAMILY NEEDS A MIRACLE
The news that has kept Los Ángeles and all of Chile on edge
because it's truly shocking.
Luck came knocking and he became a millionaire overnight.
Who wouldn't want more than nine zeros in their bank account?
Not many get that lucky.
Boss. Hey, boss, hold on a second. Wait.
Don't worry, I don't need cash. Look, I know who you are. Here.
I NEED TO GET AHEAD!
MILLIONAIRE
We've known each other since school when he…
I was in third grade, and he was in first grade in elementary.
Well, I've known of him for years 'cause he lives near my boyfriend's place.
And out in the country, everyone knows everyone.
I started hanging out with him.
I thought, two rascals together, we could be great.
I saw him every day, I'd greet him. We weren't friends, I just greeted him.
How's it going?
WHAT IS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FERTILITY MANAGEMENT METHODS?
He told me he used to be a taxi driver.
He told me he used to work driving taxis.
But I don't remember.
Time passed, months, and I offered him a job here,
working with me at Galería Taíto.
I'd always see him out there walking the horses and working.
Because our houses were close by.
We've been together for 20 years now.
He's always there, supporting me, helping me, he never leaves me alone.
He became one of the most sought-after figures in Chile.
Who wouldn't want more than nine zeros in their bank account?
Not many get that lucky, just like in the lottery on March 4th,
when a player from Los Ángeles won the juicy sum of over two billion pesos.
The problem is, the winner still hasn't appeared,
and the deadline to claim the money is running out.
What would you do if you were the lucky one?
What to do with so much money?
The only thing I haven't done is bungee jumping. I'd like to try it.
I'd help my family. All to my family.
I'd make things comfortable for them.
Then I'd get a good make-over. But, really just necessary things.
Italy.
I'd like to see Tuscany.
Well, I don't believe in luck.
Because many people say, "He was lucky."
No, I believe in blessings.
It's a game of chance.
Whoever gets it, gets it.
If you have good luck, you'll get it.
Well, as they say, lucky at cards, unlucky in love.
It's a saying.
OPEN
DREAM COMBO
VACATION FOR LIFE $2,400,000
People always come here
because this is where the most prizes have been won in the city.
Small prizes or big ones, they always happen here.
Hi, miss.
I have a great option for you to stop working.
A "Bye, Boss." Then go vacation in the Caribbean or Brazil.
No, thanks, no.
Young man, what about you? We're having a good sale.
Since that day…
it was the 11th, I think, I'm not sure…
to play another ticket and brought the same slip he'd played previously.
-Good afternoon, ma'am. -Afternoon.
-Play those numbers for me, please? -Okay.
Then the lady tells him, "These are the winning numbers."
Sir, these are identical to the numbers that won last week.
2.4 billion.
Let's go!
…the world To know it fully
I'm going to try Every traditional dish
"Honey," I tell her, "something happened. I won Kino."
Of course I didn't believe him.
From now on, you're not going to work anymore, and neither am I.
"You're drunk," she said.
She hung up on me.
Hello!
Can you hear me or not?
Fucking dammit!
He said, "I won Kino, Carlitos."
"Yes," he told me, "Seriously, I won."
So I asked him, "Where's the ticket?" "I've got it at home," he said.
He was a few drinks in when he told me.
I've been lucky in life.
Lucky with women, lucky with money.
Lucky in gambling.
-A lot of work today… -Yeah.
-How'd you do on the test today? -I think well.
Very good.
On the other one, I got--
What the hell happened here?
Mom, what happened?
My room!
Mom?
And I was afraid and said, "What happened here?"
-Dad? -Is that your dad?
Honey, what are you doing?
What? I can't find the Kino ticket, the one I won.
I was frightened. I thought, has he gone crazy?
I searched, lifted the tablecloth, there were some papers. Everything.
I examined the couches, the table.
I searched the whole house.
When my wife got home, she was stunned. "What happened?" She said.
Help me find it, honey. Everything gets lost here.
Oh, Lord!
Help us find it, sweetie. Look.
What? I'm already doing that.
I looked and looked and couldn't find the ticket.
The surprise is huge.
So far, all that's known is the lucky winner bought the ticket
here in Los Ángeles.
There were rumors that the winner might be a young guy
who performed as a mime here at Paseo Colón.
They say he could be the one, but so many things are being said.
There were rumors he was from the Kennedy neighborhood, but no…
-Oh, really? -No…
That's all we know.
The woman is from the country, but still hasn't come.
-A lady from the country? -Yes, an older woman.
2018 MARCH
The contest rules state that the winner has 60 days to claim the prize.
They have only 30 left.
COFFEE | KINO | LOTTO | DRINKS
He bought it, went home, got to the house, and as always, Javier was in a hurry…
and he left the Kino there.
In a notebook, I think, or in the room, the dining room.
Well, he told me several versions. He said he'd left it on top of the fridge.
He'd stored it, then left it next to the stove.
I think he was changing the chimney flue that day.
He climbed up to the roof and took off the cap, the one up there,
because it was covered in soot.
When he pushed up, the soot got in his eyes.
And he took something out of his pants pocket,
which was the quickest thing he could find to clean his eyes.
And he took out the tissue and the Kino ticket, too.
And he cleaned his eyes a bit, and then tossed it into the chimney.
And down there, in the stove,
I'd always toss papers and stuff to later light with a match.
But something told me to get the trash out.
I put on gloves, took a plastic bag, and got it all out of there.
Then it fell in between some bags with notebooks and stuff.
And when they cleaned up, they threw it all outside.
And that's how the Kino ticket went into the trash.
And the dogs had torn up the bag, and all the trash was scattered around.
One in 4,457,400
is the odds of winning the lottery.
But there's something in those perfect calculations
that isn't taken into account.
ON AIR
Fate, luck, chance.
Call it what you want.
What mathematicians don't consider is how every little move,
every insignificant decision, can make those odds change radically.
A winning ticket that gets destroyed, lost, or forgotten isn't just bad luck,
it's like the entire universe is conspiring,
making an already incredibly hard game even harder to win.
And maybe, just maybe,
the real odds of winning the lottery aren't just in the numbers,
but in knowing how to outsmart fate.
Fuck!
You didn't have a playful childhood,
like playing with dolls or playing house.
By eight years old, they were already letting me be in charge of the house.
Caring for my younger brother, I'd have to change diapers at that age.
Kinda hungry?
We all have a dream of becoming someone in life, and suddenly,
because our parents didn't have the means to give us what we needed,
we can't achieve it.
And you… who will be given everything, take advantage of the opportunity.
-Yeah. -So you can become a great professional.
Become what you want to be.
And what do you want to be?
A midwife.
What are you doing, woman?
Put that out, can't you see the ticket could be in there? Come on!
I remembered and started with pitchforks, walking this way and that, like this.
And then, there it suddenly was, stuck to an old notebook.
The ticket.
I won, honey!
So I went to claim it.
The mystery and the long wait are over.
The winner of the 2.4 billion peso Kino jackpot has just come forward.
And it's none other than a local.
The lucky guy is Mr. Javier Zapata,
a 41-year-old farmer who can now celebrate as a millionaire.
"I PLAYED THAT COMBINATION" FARMER CLAIMS WIN
Our biggest congratulations to him.
The presumed Kino winner, who had thrown his ticket in the trash,
arrived in Concepción to claim his prize.
Go, go, go!
He was received like a star.
The agency where he bought the ticket awaited him,
but he wasn't a mime or an old lady.
It's this man who claims to have the winning ticket.
ON AIR
The most sought-after man in Los Ángeles had thrown the ticket in the trash.
Let's welcome the proud winner of the biggest lottery prize of the year,
a whopping 2.4 billion pesos.
Living on the way to the small town of La Suerte, at the south of the country,
tonight, he joins us to relive his incredible story.
Let's give him a warm round of applause.
"Look, there goes the Kino winner."
People would talk to me,
"Sir, here, take this little note, don't forget about me."
"I don't have a house, I have nowhere to live. Take it."
And they'd throw the paper into my bags.
They'd have a phone number, name, account number so I could deposit money.
Hi, Mr. Javier. Good afternoon.
"You're the winner," he said. I said, "Yes. Why? Is there a problem?"
He said, "No, I'm here to make you a deal. I have a house in Salto del Laja."
"It has a pool," he said.
You're wasting your time. Leave.
Javier!
Walter. Remember me?
We used to be classmates. I was nearby, I stopped by to see you.
But I hadn't seen that guy in… Not since we got out of high school.
"How have you been?"
"Did they pay the Kino?" he asked. "Can you give me some money?"
And they'd tell me that they were sick, that they have sick kids.
"I'd be happy with ten million to buy a little house," they'd say.
Others asked for two, others 500,000, and so on.
He's here tonight to share his incredible story.
Let's welcome him with a big, warm, round of applause.
Chile's new millionaire!
CONCEPCIÓN LOTERÍA 70 MILLION
The Concepción Lotería belongs to the university,
and is its main source of income, as it receives 60% of the profits.
Seventy million.
Twenty-three, five, sixty-four.
Chile is definitely a country of gamblers.
From foosball to horse races, traditional or Polla tickets.
POLLA LOTERÍA
These last ones are particularly popular.
Last year, they brought in nearly ten billion pesos.
Half of this money goes to taxes and charitable institutions.
I'm Nicolás Rojas Inostroza, a journalist.
I'm passionate about cultural
and historical aspects of gambling in Chile.
Some chroniclers mention
that in colonial times, people would bet on watermelon seeds, for example.
They'd cut open a watermelon
and wager on whether the seeds would be black or white.
They could even bet using religious items, like prayer cards. Imagine that.
There's a long history in the chronicles
documenting the official culture's prohibition of gambling.
How complex cockfighting and card games were.
People even gambled on bowling.
Because betting often comes with celebration, indulgence,
a break from a system that has historically been oppressive.
But gambling is like a window of escape,
a chance to strike it lucky or to turn your life around.
LAS QUINTAS RACETRACK (EL QUILLAY)
We're grilling over here, guys! Grilling over here!
Mussels must be served with wine.
Fried pastries! Take some home!
Okay, cheers.
-Cheers, Arturo! -Cheers!
20,000, the finalists. 500,000 for number three!
500,000 for number two! Done.
And 500 and 200,000. 20,000.
20,000. and the finalists, zero. One more check.
When I bought this colt, he was called Pretty Boy.
After Pretty Boy, we named it Slow Boy.
And she called him Miracle. He's had that name ever since.
LITTLE MIRACLE 2.0
That way, people won't recognize him.
How much do I…?
That's enough.
Yeah, so we settled on a price for the pens…
-200,000 pesos? -Per animal.
-Okay.
-Miracle against Mil Amores. -Mil Amores. Only those two.
Which way? Over that way.
Over there. Come on.
Let's go! Good luck, jockey!
God willing, luck will be on our side.
One, two…!
Go, go, go!
Let's go, Miracle, damn it!
Miracle!
It's done!
Mil Amores cut in at the front.
Mil Amores raced.
She cut in.
Bring him to me.
Something's off here.
I talk to him every day, and every day we end up here,
but we can't figure out what it's lacking.
And to me, that horse has bad luck.
If I won a prize,
I…
I'd leave my house.
A bigger house, a house with a pool, a house with…
-Where I could go out-- -Where you can live underwater.
Of course, I mean…
Can you imagine having a beer there in the pool?
Yeah.
But it's just a prize. I won, and that's it.
It was just good luck, nothing more.
You're thinking about working still. I'm saying don't…
No, I don't…
…it's so much money.
You have to change your life. You only get one.
Right.
Let me tell you something
She's the girl of my dreams
My face is in charge Of saying it
Let me tell you something
Sometimes you don't believe me
Your face is in charge Of saying it
Come, come, come Let's dance together
To music from another room…
He started calling my phone.
And when I'd answer, he wouldn't say anything.
This went on for seven months.
I got fed up with the phone thing, and I turned it off.
And it was off for a couple of days.
Then, when I turned it on, I had a message from him.
Javier and I dated for eleven months, secretly.
My ex-husband always told me
that if I ever cheated on him, he'd kill me.
I was still really scared, yeah.
On February 14th, he gave me a necklace.
It had a horseshoe.
"She married a cowboy," they said.
"So what?" I said.
I fell in love with Javier.
All because he gave me love, affection, and respect.
I felt loved, and I felt wanted by him.
That's something I never felt with my ex-husband
because he never gave me love, affection, or anything.
36 DAYS AFTER THE DRAWING
TVU afternoon news.
The alleged Kino winner, who had thrown his ticket in the trash…
KINO WINNER?
…arrived in Concepción to claim his prize.
Recall that the Los Ángeles man went to great lengths
to find the winning ticket that he lost while cleaning his house,
and he managed to find it.
However, its poor condition caused the process to be delayed.
Days went by, time passed by,
and we found out that the Kino ticket had a few issues.
Unfortunately, something happened that made the document incomplete.
Some parts are illegible.
It doesn't have the security measures typical of public contests like this.
Well, I'm relaxed because I know I'm the winner.
I've always said that. I'm relaxed.
That's why the company decided to hire an expert to conduct an analysis,
who will try to reconstruct the ticket
to verify if it qualifies for the prize payout.
We have a lot of faith,
I have a lot of faith and hope that it will happen,
that the prize will be valid.
It's cruel what they've done over his prize,
because he deserves it.
Yeah.
He's the winning man.
We agreed that the ticket would be analyzed, but at a lab.
And they said, "No, we can do it faster here, Javier."
"We'll see right away if your ticket is fake or real."
They brought out some microscopes, but the ones that…
like the ones they have in schools.
That didn't give me any confidence.
We're not doing the analysis.
I'm not handing over the ticket so they can steal it here.
We have many doubts about the objectivity of these experts,
where they're from, their qualifications,
and how much Lotería paid them to contract their services.
We just received an official statement from Lotería,
just days after Javier Zapata rejected the expert opinion they offered.
Lotería states the following, pay attention.
Lotería stated that the winning bet numbers…
ALLEGED KINO WINNER'S PROOF WAS A LIE
…were played randomly in a method called "chance…"
HOW DID HE PLAY? RANDOMLY OR BY SELECTION?
…contrary to what Javier Zapata claims,
as he still insists today that he played his lucky numbers.
When I bought the ticket, I showed the seller a little slip of paper
with the numbers I had picked.
She's the only one who knows
I chose the numbers and didn't get them randomly.
There are only two possibilities,
one of the two parties is lying publicly, either Lotería or Javier.
Whoever is lying, and whoever is proven to be lying,
should have to face the consequences.
It doesn't have the security measures typical of public contests like this.
Lotería stated the bet was played randomly.
Whoever is lying, and whoever is proven to be lying,
should have to face the consequences.
When I went to ask for the camera footage to use as evidence,
Neftalí refused.
He said the footage was deleted, but that's just nonsense from the company.
I believe the company had the footage and videos deleted on purpose
so the evidence wouldn't come up.
Javier Zapata, the supposed winner of more than two billion pesos,
exhausts all avenues to prove that his ticket is the winning one.
These are images from the security cameras at the ticket agency
where the most disputed Kino ticket in recent years was sold.
His lawyer is directly accusing the shop owner of deleting the footage
from March 1st and 2nd, the days Javier bought a ticket.
NO CAMERAS! NO WITNESSES! NO PROOF!
An accusation that raises new doubts
in a case already full of more questions than answers.
That's why they don't want to pay,
because they know I'm the winner, they know it.
They don't want to take responsibility.
Just like how they received my money, they have to pay my prize.
If you think about it, there had to have been a winning ticket
because the agency received 4% of that winning ticket.
Every time an agency wins a prize,
it receives a percentage of the winning prize amount.
In this case, the agency received 48 million,
which is a percentage of that winning Kino ticket.
They want to keep the money and not pay him.
As far as I'm concerned, I believe that prize should be paid out.
I don't think Lotería would go through so much trouble for something like that.
I don't think so.
Beloved Holy Father God,
at this hour, we come into Your divine presence, my Lord,
to thank You, Holy Father, for all that You have given us today, beloved God.
Thank You for guarding us, protecting us, beloved God.
Thank You, Holy Father, for health and life, my beloved King.
Thank You for the food, Holy Father,
that You've placed on our table today, Beloved God.
Amen and Amen.
An expert analysis can recover or make this information visible
using a microscope, they say.
Yes, well, there are specific analyses where they apply some chemicals,
and all the printed letters reappear.
-Sure, but that's on TV, you know? -Well, I hope they can do it.
-We all want Javier to win. -For Javier, I hope it's doable.
Javier, we're thinking it will be possible.
We even have a song that goes like this…
You're becoming famous.
Let's go…
Let's go, Javier
This Kino Is left to fate
Which expert will you use now?
Since you rejected the one from Lotería?
…we know you're a hard-working man with a family…
We trust you, we know you're a hard-working man with a family.
We've seen your family on-screen, you welcomed Víctor there too, so…
That prize would do you so much good!
Where will you get the cash from?
We'll have to sell a few chickens, I guess. A few pigs.
And that's where my involvement as an expert begins.
Lotería includes certain security features that aren't visible to just anyone.
One is the barcode, located at the bottom.
The second is a serial number, placed vertically on the left side.
And the third is an intrinsic element,
which is a dollar sign inside the eye of a pig,
if I remember correctly, that comes factory-printed.
What you do is find the precise angle
where the reflection is much stronger.
On a personal level, I was feeling happy and proud
because I was applying techniques and methodologies
we don’t normally get to use.
A forensic analysis conducted by a specialist he hired
would prove him right.
Several security features were identified
that would verify the authenticity of the ticket.
The date,
the ticket number,
and the Kino paper.
I have enough evidence for the prize to be paid out.
Do I think money can change people? Absolutely, I think it can.
Let's make sure we don't leave anything.
Put it on top.
Javier told me that we'd move to a bigger house with the prize money.
Here. Shit.
I already talked to the landowner.
I asked him, "Would you sell me the land?"
"I'll pay you for it later."
"Of course," he said, "If there's money, for sure."
"You know, money can get you anything," he said.
-Are we missing anything? -I left some clothes.
-But… -We'll get it later.
Another day?
We'll stop on the way back.
Okay.
-Okay. Hold tight. Put your feet forward. -Okay.
No. I don't think money changes people.
Money changing people? Definitely.
There's a saying that goes,
"There's no worse rich person than someone who wasn't poor first."
Money, especially when you have a lot of it,
reveals how people really are or want to be.
My mom.
We'll put her here.
And the family goes over here.
He's here tonight to share his incredible story.
Let's welcome him with a big, warm round of applause,
Chile's new millionaire!
Hello.
-Good afternoon. -Hello.
Excuse me, do you know where they hand out the prizes,
where the winning numbers are paid out?
-Don't tell me you got them. -The jackpot, I won it.
-Really? How much did you win? -Yeah.
2.4 billion! All to myself!
-Congratulations, sir! -Thank you.
What a huge blessing!
No, it was magical. Look, here's the winner.
And what happened to the ticket?
I'd lost it, had to look in the trash. It was there.
But it's still the winner.
Some numbers are illegible, but you can still tell it's the winner.
-It's there! -Thank you!
Where did you drop it?
In the trash.
-What happened? -It fell in the trash.
PRIZE PAYMENT
Hey, listen…
You scratched the barcode, so we can't pay you.
No, but…
What happened?
He wants the ticket validated, but, no.
You're saying no. I have dreams, a family.
-Please-- -You don't know what I've got in mind…
You just had to read the comments.
They said he was a scammer, that he was shameless.
Many were laughing at him and whatever.
YOU COULD TELL IT WAS ALL A STORY
IT WAS TORN AT THE EXACT SPOT WHERE THE CODES WERE!
THAT GUY HAS THE FACE OF A LIAR
HE MADE A FOOL OF HIMSELF IN THE END
TO MAKE IT WORSE, HE'S IN DEBT TO THE LAWYER HE HIRED
THIS PHONY ASSHOLE SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR FRAUD!
I felt bad and I didn't go to class for a month because of that.
When my classmates saw me on the news, they bullied me,
some of the kids at school who were older.
They'd tell me, "Your dad's full of nonsense."
"Tell him to give it up already."
I BELIEVE HIM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM
58 DAYS AFTER THE DRAWING
…presents…
Teletrece.
The following is a story worthy of film.
Just hours before the deadline
to claim the 2.4 billion pesos from the Kino drawing on March 4th,
a new supposed winner has appeared.
Now, the two men's versions conflict with each other.
All while waiting for new expert opinions
to confirm who among them is the true owner of this fortune.
He is José Rivera.
He appeared out of nowhere in Concepción as the countdown to claim the prize began.
This security guard from Los Ángeles is the second supposed winner
of the 2049 drawing from March 4th.
BYE, BOSS
TWIST IN KINO CASE
What happens now that we have two people claiming to be
the legitimate winners of this colossal prize.
WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH? NEW ALLEGED WINNER APPEARS
Like in the best shows,
José Rivera appeared to give a dramatic twist to the story.
He shows the dog that bit his hand,
which made him look for a bandage in his bag.
Come inside!
Stuff has happened to me, psychic stuff.
I went out one day, a Sunday,
I was hungry, and I had just enough money for one soda.
I drank my soda peacefully,
and thought about the biggest bill there was at that time.
And I went out.
I hadn't even walked 30 meters, and a bill came flying by.
I'd been thinking about it just a minute or two earlier.
At the sidewalk,
I picked it up and shoved it, hand and all, into my pocket.
Tightly in there.
It was truly something.
Just like that, something divine.
Get outside. Come here!
Here!
Though I don't have any family here, I have the dogs, because…
For example, when I'm feeling down, I go outside, and they're instantly happy.
Stop, hey!
Hey, look.
Look, here.
Look, hey.
Here.
Come here.
This one is Bigote.
This one is called Kino.
This one is Kino.
You told us that the way you found your ticket was quite curious.
-In a bag. Actually, your favorite bag. -In a bag.
My favorite bag, that I'd take to work every day.
I took some puppies I had, I had a pedicab and I'd take the puppies there.
I said, I'll sell them at the market.
I'd sell them for, like, 3,000 or 5,000 pesos.
ALLEGED KINO WINNER
It bit my finger when I gave it some meat. Right here.
I don't know which, I don't remember.
It tore me up from here to here, with its teeth.
It grabbed me with its teeth and all, like that. It drew blood.
And I said, "Oh, I have a bandage, I always buy them."
I start searching in the bag and I found a bandage.
And the ticket.
Right, I found the ticket there while looking for the bandage.
And in a pocket, I see the Kino ticket.
It was stuck to the top. I'm sure something fell on it.
It was stuck.
At that time, I was thinking, no. Not him.
This guy here…
He's up to no good. He just wants to collect.
I mean, he just wants to win.
Sometimes we think it could've been Lotería.
To delay us even more and whatnot.
I thought, for a moment, that he'd been sent by Lotería.
Próspero was there with the Lotería people.
And just as I was crossing the street, he saw me
and bent down, he didn't want to face me.
The journalists spoke to him, and he ran off.
It was like he was hiding.
He'll have to deal with his conscience, with what he's doing.
So, Mr. José Próspero,
have you thought about what you'd do with the money if you win the Kino?
I think I'd get cosmetic surgery.
Or I'd fix my teeth. Firstly.
And then I'd think about it.
Because getting involved in something at my age? No.
Not everyone makes it to 70. You have to take care of yourself to make it to 71.
Nice church in the country.
Yes, the church is really nice. It's been many years since I've been…
Great! You'll be able to speak to the pastor.
LEARN THE TRUTH SUNDAY SERVICE
God bless you all,
be welcome in the Lord's house, God's house, your house.
May God bless you greatly today because today is a special day
in which we gather to worship,
to give thanks to this wonderful God who has done everything
and given everything out of love for our lives.
God bless every heart,
every soul that has gathered in the presence of the Lord today.
I believe in God more than luck.
I've always said that luck doesn't exist for me.
For me, everything is done by God.
Everyone else may abandon you.
Everyone else may leave you.
GOD IS LOVE
Even those close to you may distance themselves from you.
He wants to heal you,
He wants to take you out of the life you're living,
out of the circumstances you're going through today,
both at home and in your personal life.
There are two paths in this life.
A narrow path, which is God's path.
And the wide path, wherever it leads you,
I don't know, to partying, to booze, to fun, whatever.
That's the wide path, that's the path of the world.
My dad doesn't go to church with us, but I wish he would.
Even if just for a little while.
But he's always there for me, always helps me.
For example, if I need something, he gives it to me, buys it for me.
It's like bad things are always happening to my dad, isn't it?
But I believe that if he followed God, those things wouldn't happen to him.
And now we have information that just arrived at our press department.
It's an official statement from Lotería,
and the words, at least on paper, sound pretty serious.
The company has decided to file a fraud complaint
against those considered responsible.
MAY 8, 2018 CONCEPCIÓN DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FILE COMPLAINT
CRIMES OF FRAUD
FORGERY OF A PRIVATE INSTRUMENT, MALICIOUS USE OF A PRIVATE INSTRUMENT
FRAUD
In this way, Lotería is confronting the attempts
of Javier Zapata and José Próspero Rivera
to become the winners of the grand prize
of 2.4 billion pesos.
My name is Juan Pablo López, I'm 47 years old,
I'm a lawyer specializing in complex litigation
and a cybersecurity advisor.
Lotería says, "How does one obtain a ticket
with the winning numbers from a previous drawing?"
"It's simple."
"After the drawing, a total of 399 bets were placed
with that same combination of numbers."
"These bets generated valid Kino tickets for the players,
but, obviously, valid only for future drawings."
I'm Luisa San Martín Cifuentes,
a forensic expert in handwriting, fingerprints, and documents.
Unfortunately, I deal with many fraud cases.
Being a scammer or stepping outside the rules
is something that transcends all layers of society.
The Kino ticket is in a condition of significant wear.
To my surprise, the validation elements are precisely what's been lost.
EASY MONEY
Throughout Chile's history, there have been scams and scammers.
From the days of the gambling dens
to the sophistication of various ways of hacking the system
to end up with money through less-than-clean methods.
I tell you, Javier is really good at lying.
So I tell him, "You have a gift for lying."
"I only believe you up to a point."
Come on, buddy.
People who commit fraud don't respect the rules.
They don't respect rules at home,
they maybe don't respect rules in their neighborhood,
and they don't respect rules at work.
Nowadays, everyone walks around with a bit of evil. I mean…
We all go after something. In this case, money.
And doing it in a healthy way…
is harder.
Because we all carry a little bit of evil with us, let's say.
Yeah, well, he's never with us.
He's always focused on his races, and he never has a day for us.
As a family, saying, "Okay, today, Saturday, I'm going out with you,
where do you want to go?" or whatever.
Because you still need to be with your family.
But not him, he prefers his friends.
I'm left alone with my daughter here.
LO RAQUEL EQUESTRIAN CENTER
At the races, alcohol and money do the most movement.
The beer and wine really move.
You can tell when the animals have been strongly drugged
because they act all furious.
Go for it, mare!
Chilean-style races used to be more of a tradition.
Nowadays, they're more like a business.
100,000 to Loa.
20,000 for the finalist.
Fifty, which one?
Here, you have to come out with your horse and go for it.
You already know it.
You know that once you let go, the horse runs on its own.
Yeah.
Good luck, guys.
I hope it goes well, Miracle. Let's go for the win.
Go, dammit!
No.
Fool!
Look, Javier, your horse, it might not… I'm not saying it's bad.
But you need to find its level, you need to find its class.
No. I didn't like the class, I didn't like the level, I didn't like anything.
Listen, you're racing a different class here.
No, it's fine, but look, I didn't like the horse's level.
There's nothing else to do, just grab my little horse,
sell it, and hope something better comes along.
You should compete with horses in the same class.
-That's what I've always told you. -It's just that… No.
This is how I am. I've always been like this.
I've been beaten by horses from there and here.
This horse is no good, so that's it.
Okay.
Okay, now.
When I was a stable boy, I used to sleep in my stable.
Now that I'm old and have a horse, I just mess around outside.
What I think that's about is after the races,
they start drinking and…
So I tell him, "Honey, that racing vice is just a waste."
We're back with TVU News.
Today, we're bringing you the results
of the private analysis of the Kino ticket
from the first alleged winner of over 2.4 billion pesos.
If the ticket is real, the ticket is real.
BYE, BOSS BETTER LIFE
If the numbers he played are the same as the numbers drawn,
the numbers lifted from his ticket will match the numbers that were drawn.
CORRESPONDING TO 14 NUMBERS, THESE ARE:
There is a match with the day of the drawing,
which was a Sunday.
And Javier's ticket states that the drawing is on a Sunday.
The report from the experts they hired
only managed to identify some pieces of this puzzle,
but not the drawing number or the date the ticket was played.
So, due to that situation,
the expert opinion I carried out and gave to Javier
is probably not 100% aligned with his pretenses.
But I also can't lie or make things up.
This news helps us.
It allows us to clear up doubts
about whether the ticket was altered or a forgery.
And the ticket is real. It has the winning numbers.
However, the security feature we were expecting to find,
that is, the 2049 or March 4th, 2018, did not appear.
Praise…
Easy.
Okay, we'll have chicken stew today.
You know what, honey? We got this month's electric bill.
-It's more than last month. -How much is it?
It's almost 360,000 pesos.
How much money do the cows bring in each week?
A lot.
But how much is a lot?
It depends on how much milk they give.
I never see any money from the milk.
No, everything makes you laugh.
Plus, you owe money to Mr. Nelson.
The money he lent you to buy the cows.
My brother-in-law also gave you money to buy the dairy equipment.
My father-in-law.
Plus,
we need to cover the credit card payment.
We also use that to cover other expenses.
And that payment hasn't been made.
Which card?
"Which card?"
The one you asked me for to buy the mower.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Hey.
Some time later, Javier calls me one morning and says,
“Is there any chance of finding pieces of the ticket in the trash?”
Yes, so the expert came and said,
“Alright, Javier, I'm here to see where you found the ticket.”
And I proceeded to divide the area into quadrants.
And by then, he'd already been there for over an hour.
-If we find something, I'll let you know. -Okay.
I went through piece by piece, sorting through what I found.
Through wood, papers, plastic items, toys,
and whatever else was there on the ground.
And in a toothpaste tube, in one corner,
there was a small piece of paper, less than four millimeters.
-I think I found something. -Let's see.
Look.
And what caught my attention was that on one side,
it had blue or bluish prints.
And that matched the back of a Kino ticket.
I mean…
I don't have the equipment with me, so I'll have to check it to see
if the number at least matches the size and the digits on your ticket.
Once it dried, I applied white light,
and the numbers zero and four appeared.
He assures us that he found
one of the key pieces in reconstructing his ticket
and finally claiming the elusive millionaire prize.
It's the zero and the four, the same numbers that would match
the date of the drawing on the winning ticket, 2049.
Could this be the stroke of luck he's been waiting for?
We choose to believe so.
A stroke of luck
ANGELINO FARMER CLAIMS THE PRIZE!
I stay awake waiting
KEY CLUE 0 AND 4
MARCH 4TH SAME AS THE DRAWING
I hope to find again
See, baldie? I told you it would be the ticket.
A stroke of luck Could turn back the lost time
All I want is to own a bike.
No, I'd buy this farm, that's it.
Build a place of worship, that's what we had planned.
You are the stroke of luck
APRIL, MAY, JUNE JULY 2018
One day, I got a call from Radio Biobío.
Zapata was there, and Zapata's lawyer, too.
They said, "How about you do this?"
"Go halves on the number, since there are two winners?"
The hosts said that.
I wasn't going to be afraid of facing him.
In fact, one time, a radio station wanted to do a face-to-face.
They asked me if I could go there so we could talk,
with the host, Zapata, and the lawyer.
ON AIR
So I said, "Sure, I'll be there in about 20 minutes."
I can't share the prize because I'm the one who won it.
So, that won't be happening.
I have to talk to them.
-Perfect. -On Monday.
Even in the press.
Like, they did a poll on Facebook, to see who the real winner was.
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? VOTE HERE
The guy who showed up most recently, the last one.
Okay, why is that?
I believe him more.
I think they'll still give them the money to avoid any trouble,
I believe that's what's going to happen.
You know the story?
-Yes, I find it really unfair. -Right.
Whoever is more reliable in their answer, I'll believe them.
I have no idea what I was up to that day, I can't remember.
I remembered like an hour later.
As if someone told me, "Don't go out today."
That I shouldn't go.
And Mr. José Rivera didn't want to come and have a confrontation.
Didn't want to.
I had a dream.
And in that dream, I saw him on the ground.
And someone came up next to me and said, "We need to bleed him."
And they asked me for a knife.
"Hand me the knife," they said, "I'll bleed him."
And I yelled at him, saying, "No! Your daughter will never forgive you."
My dad was anxious.
He wasn't sleeping.
He was going to the bathroom constantly, was pacing.
We were scared something might happen to him because he was so anxious.
Even though I walk through The valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil For you are with me
Let go!
That day when he went out to do the baling,
he came back and said to me, "Pass me the knife."
He grabbed the knife, and it was the same knife I saw in the dream.
And, of course, what was the knife for?
So he could cut the hemp and make a tourniquet here.
AMBULANCE
Just like when slaughtering a lamb, that's how the blood spurts.
All over.
I lost all five tendons in my hand.
I lost a lot of blood,
I arrived at the hospital with 1,700 milliliters.
And his hand turned too purple.
So, he sold the cows and stopped milking.
And now he's not really working.
I had to go to work. Afterward…
After work, I had to go to the hospital to see him.
To bring him things he needed.
While there, I thought, and reflected, and said,
"Where are my honey's friends?"
"Where are they?"
We returned to the small house because the money never came.
We'd been hoping the prize would come ahead of schedule.
But things didn't work out.
"Okay, I'll give you your land," I said, "But I'm still fighting for my prize."
2018 JULY
2019 NOVEMBER - DECEMBER
The story of Javier Zapata,
a hard-working man like you or me…
APRIL 2020
…seemed to have more unfortunate moments than happy ones.
A tragic accident destroyed his most valuable tool, his arm,
vital for a farmer who depends on his strength to earn a living.
But for Javier,
that pain was minuscule compared to the loss of his mother, Mrs. Luisa,
who passed away when she couldn't receive treatment for her illness.
Besides being a great woman, she was a great mother.
She taught me values. With my dad.
And educated us.
Well, at that moment, fury, sorrow.
I said, "I don't know, we'll go."
"There has to be a way to fix your bones,
to get you real treatment somewhere," I told her.
To keep her with us.
But it wasn't possible.
My mom left us too soon.
She told me, "Fight, son, for your prize."
"Fight for what's yours."
It pains Javier that his mother passed away
without it being publicly clarified that he was never a scammer.
But Javier Zapata isn't just any man.
That's why he's decided to sue Lotería.
ZAPATA DECIDES TO SUE LOTERÍA
LAWSUIT FILED IN CONCEPCIÓN COURT
ZAPATA DECIDED TO HIRE A NEW LAWYER
FARMER SUES LOTERÍA FOR MORE THAN 3.5 BILLION
POSSIBLE LAWSUIT AGAINST LOTERÍA
Well, we've reviewed the case…
CARLOS BRAVO ATTORNEY
…and we believe there's a solid foundation to take it on.
We have several chances of winning this case.
Well, the first thing we need to know is what you need, or what you require,
so we can include it in the lawsuit, put it down there.
Well, what I need is for the truth to come out,
because Lotería, at one point, called me a fraud.
So, I want this to come to light, for transparency on both sides.
-A question, sir. -Yes.
What do you think?
If the money isn't paid to Javier, or if a prize goes unpaid,
who keeps the money?
Well, by law, Lotería keeps the money.
-They keep the money. -Okay.
And it goes to the University of Concepción.
ALLOCATED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CONCEPCIÓN FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES
Because they're not paying the prize.
Because they say there isn't a winner.
Lotería, along with its team, will also try to delay as much as possible
and drag out this process.
A lawsuit of this scale requires your cooperation,
along with anything you can provide us, background information, witnesses,
and proof supporting what we've stated in the lawsuit.
Yes, sure, I understand.
So, we've got to keep fighting, and I'll go all the way, no matter what.
So, we have several options for winning this case.
Mr. Javier, against the Concepción Lotería.
It's a real-life David versus Goliath.
He's a man from the countryside who,
sure, has a lawyer assisting, supporting, and helping him,
but the University of Concepción is a massive giant.
And there are definitely systems that could influence this,
because the University of Concepción has one of the most important faculties,
even at the national level, where so many judges have studied,
and they may be the ones holding the fate of this case now.
And now, some breaking news.
Lotería has flat-out rejected the lawsuit…
COURT OF LAW
…and presented its own arguments.
Lotería isn't refusing to pay Mr. Zapata out of sheer stubbornness,
but is instead basing the decision to not pay on the laws that govern it.
Specifically, statute 18568.
It says, "Prizes corresponding to bearer bets
will be paid upon presentation of intact tickets and/or instruments."
"In the case of doubts, the prize will not be paid
until the authenticity is reliably verified."
Nevertheless, there's something troubling in this statute.
At the end of the subsection, almost as an afterthought,
it says that all of this is at the exclusive discretion
of Concepción Lotería.
In other words, the final decision is in their hands.
And if they wanted to pay, nothing would stop them.
JAVIER! LOOK WHAT'S GOING AROUND
There are cases in which Lotería decided to pay
after analyzing a damaged ticket,
like in 2004, with a family whose child cut part of the winning ticket
to complete a school assignment.
The torn ticket had been in the trash for a week.
Through rumors, they found out it was the winning ticket.
Lotería, bypassing the rules, paid the prize.
And as if fate wasn't tangled enough,
we've found in our records
that another little miracle happened along Javier's path,
but it wasn't his beloved horse.
He's called Little Miracle because he cheated death
in an accident when he was one year old.
He'd barely learned to walk when a 3,000-kilo forklift ran him over.
He came out unscathed and now lives a completely normal life.
Thus, a dream was fulfilled,
one of thousands of Chileans who dream of the millionaire prize.
DOESN'T HAVE BARCODES
All of this at the exclusive discretion of the Concepción Lotería.
IF THEY PAID BEFORE, WHY NOT NOW?
Look, Mr. Javier, one of the things they mention in their response
is that the quality of the Kino paper is excellent.
Forging a Kino ticket is extremely difficult
because it requires expertise in the type of printer, the designs,
and the diagrams on the back.
But what they don't mention in their response,
is that the ink quality isn't good.
If you take a look,
this Kino ticket has kept most of the colors fairly well,
but look, the ink erases.
I know this because back in my fifth year of university,
I worked at a kiosk selling Loto and Kino.
The ink was very similar to the printers that people have at home,
and it could be erased by just sweat.
What we need from you now is your help in gathering witnesses.
I don't know if you already have people you trust,
who know what happened,
and who can come forward and support you as witnesses.
I've pretty much decided who to present as a witness.
I know Miss Ariela, who sold me the ticket, she can help.
And Graciela too, she worked there.
Mr. Cristián Cáceres, he did the analysis, he handled everything.
They also must want to participate.
I offer myself as a witness.
Well, I didn't see you buy the ticket at the time.
Right.
But I know you, and I know you're telling the truth.
That's why I wanted to bring all of you together here,
to help Javier through this process, which is a long one.
THE TIME
That's the time.
I always said I was going to play the ticket at that time.
-Around 3:00, 4:00. -Yeah?
That report was issued by Lotería.
And what does the report say?
That Kino was played at 15:03.
DRAWING 2049
DATE OF BET 02-03-2018 15:03:54
There's something shady going on with this crap.
FORENSIC INVESTIGATION REPORT
0 AND 4
That's referring to what we found in the trash?
Yes, in the trash. Could you explain it a bit more in depth?
What's interesting about the zero and four on that little piece of paper,
is that the back had the printed sky blue and white colors,
which match the back of the Kino tickets.
-Okay. -Meaning the original Kino ticket?
Right, that zero and that four refer to--
-The date. -A Sunday, if I remember correctly.
-Yes, zero, four. Sunday. -Right.
-March 4th.
My understanding is that the expert from Lotería charged a high sum of money.
LOTERÍA EXPERT OPINION
What she charged to carry out the analysis was an amount of 9,500,000 pesos.
I reviewed the expert report requested by Lotería.
NET AMOUNT OF $9,500,000.
This value is not something typically used within the world of expert reports.
The amount, frankly, is an exorbitant sum.
Especially considering it was no longer than seven pages.
I shouldn't get into that kind of speculation.
However, a short analysis with such a high price
does make you think other things.
On top of that, Lotería is also paying for security.
As a good Chilean, this whole thing seems suspicious.
What do you guys think about them paying the agency 48 million?
That's what needs to be untangled, or in other words, cleared up, isn't it?
WINNING AGENCY
Because the agency is paid,
and they should indeed receive the commission,
but it's the same agency where people are saying you played…
The ticket.
…the ticket.
And on top of that,
the person who sold the ticket, attests that you're Javier Zapata.
-Exactly. -See what I mean?
I went to talk to her when I presented the ticket.
KEY WITNESS
-And she signed a little paper. -Really?
It acknowledges selling me the ticket.
Ariela is the only one who knows I chose the numbers
and didn't buy it randomly.
Hello, good morning, Miss Ariela.
So I've been calling you, but you're not answering the phone.
I need to talk to you for a simple reason,
since I'm still awaiting a response, maybe you could serve as a witness.
That's why I'm sending you this audio, so please get back to me.
Or give me your address so I can come to your house and talk.
Please respond to the audio, okay? Bye, bye, take care.
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS
In his unwavering fight for justice,
Javier Zapata, a farmer from southern Chile,
has come up with a clever strategy
to tackle the ever-growing costs of his legal battle.
After months of effort and sacrifice, Javier has decided, listen closely,
to organize an unprecedented, one-of-a-kind race.
His horse, Little Miracle,
will race against none other than local greyhound, Sandy.
An uneven race, some might say, but Javier is used to that.
After all, it's not the first time
he's chased something that seems impossible to catch.
CLASH OF THE TITANS GREYHOUND VS HORSE
Hey, you fool, how are you?
Hello, how are we doing, Arturo?
Hey, how's it going, racing fans? I'm sending you an invite.
I was calling you because the dog Sandy is going to race against Little Miracle.
You've got to bet a ton on Little Miracle.
We've always been together, how could you bet on another?
Shit, like 300, 500, so it's worth it.
Okay, see you. Bye bye.
Imagine the horse…
carrying at least 50 kilos on its back.
The dog isn't carrying a thing. A dog will always be faster than a horse.
It depends on the horse and it depends on the dog.
Alright, guys!
On number one, Little Miracle.
And on number two, Sandy.
You have to give me that.
100, 200, 210, 310, 410.
-410. -Another hundred?
The bets heavily favor the greyhound.
A race that many already consider to be over.
One!
MIRACLE
Two!
Sandy takes the lead effortlessly, as if the track is bent in its favor,
gaining a length.
The road ahead for the alleged Kino winner
grows more difficult with each step in pursuit of the 2.4 billion peso prize.
Lotería gains the advantage as the dispute heats up.
One time when we went to church, God spoke through the pastor.
And He said that He was going to bless us greatly as a family.
But that it would be delayed until my dad changed.
I'm not going to change. I've always said that.
I've told all my friends. I'm not going to change.
Little Miracle charges ahead
and overtakes the greyhound in the final 20 meters.
Little Miracle takes the glory.
SEEK GOOD, NOT EVIL, THAT YOU MAY LIVE AMOS 5:14
This whole thing with the witnesses is about presenting them,
like the person who did the analysis and the one who sold me the ticket.
Ariela is the most important part of the trial. She sold me the ticket.
I bought it from her. She's who sold it to me.
My name is Ariela Aguilera.
I worked there for about three years.
It was a gambling agency in conjunction with a payment center.
Ariela, come.
The other lawyer will ask you some easy questions,
and some others to try to confuse you.
-Just state the same thing. -Right. Of course.
I chose the numbers and she knows it.
A winner appeared.
We knew from day one that there was a winner,
because we receive the vouchers.
On top of that, my boss gets notified.
He showed up,
and I told my coworker, "Yes, that client came in,"
"I helped him."
The hearings are running behind.
I didn't even bring a juice.
Is there water here?
If they see there's an investigation, that experts are involved,
if this is a good investigation, properly investigated,
the law should make sure it's paid.
What is it, boss?
There was an issue.
There's a lack of coordination with the records.
Shit, this whole thing sucks.
Lotería said no, that they'll take that statement and not ours.
No, that can't be.
That makes it hard for us to bring in Ariela. No time.
-They don't want the facts. -No, there's something fishy going on.
Honestly, I think Lotería is behind all of this
because they know exactly when something is about to happen.
I found it to be very weird and untrustworthy.
Lotería doesn't want to take the statements.
-But you can't accept-- -That's why it's shady.
You can't accept Lotería playing with your time again.
-I was already scheduled with witnesses. -How many witnesses?
-Four. -Four, okay.
Four. Now they say they won't take our statements.
Why? Who said that, the lawyers?
Yes. Yes, they say that Lotería's lawyer objects.
-Objects? -Yes.
Mr. Cristián says to go there briefly.
-Me? -Yes. No, you.
In that case, what would I have to do here?
For some reason beyond them, certainly beyond him,
the testimonial evidence couldn't be taken.
The thing is, there are two people. I didn't know the other guy was there too.
I just found out.
There are two tickets, that's what they're saying.
What could've happened? They could've made a mistake.
Other players also had a Kino ticket with issues.
And apparently the receiver preferred to take their statements over ours.
Why has the case been hindered for so long?
Why hinder it so long? It's been five years.
He's just been going around investigating what happened.
Let it be over, I mean, they're going to give us half each, I think. That's it.
It'll be over.
Sure.
How joyful Oh, how joyful
How joyful I feel
When we're close to God…
In March, it will be, 18, 19, 20, 21…
Twenty-three, 24. Six years. In March, it will be six years.
I find it incredible how time has passed.
It's already been more than six years since Javier Zapata's story began.
Whatever justice determines,
as long as it's a fair ruling for both sides.
JAVIER ZAPATA, WHO CLAIMS TO BE THE KINO WINNER
To be done with all this…
All this waiting.
This wait which has been endless.
But remain calm and walk away with dignity.
As someone who always spoke the truth.
When you get to know him, when you talk to him,
if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that he's an honest person.
He's not asking for anything special.
He's simply asking for justice to be served.
And personally, I believe him.
I think he's telling the truth.
The challenge, as you pointed out, is proving that legal truth
more than the account he continues to support today.
Ariela is the most important part of the trial.
I chose the numbers and she knows it.
HOW WERE THE NUMBERS PLAYED? RANDOMLY OR BY SELECTION?
One of the two parties is lying publicly, either Lotería or Javier.
Lotería says the Kino winner was playing at random.
But Mr. Javier chose his numbers with his daughter.
TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DRAWING
2018 MARCH
One, two, three…
four, five…
seven.
When we went to buy it, my dad picked a ticket.
I said, "Okay, sweetie, tell me the first numbers."
And I told him one, two, three, four, and five and seven.
"But, sweetie," I told her, "I'm trying to pick winning numbers."
He said, "Pick good ones." I said, "Those are my numbers."
I chose nine, ten,
16, 19, 20, 24 or something.
I don't remember exactly, but I chose those.
I got it from a little Haitian guy dancing on TV with a Lotería ticket.
There was a commercial with a Haitian guy holding a big ticket like this,
showing it off and dancing with it.
VACATION FOR LIFE 2,400,000
The girl, who is his daughter, isn't going to be lying either.
She's older now, but back then she was much younger.
So, I believe him, 100%
ON JULY 5TH, 2024,
JAVIER ZAPATA IS SUMMONED TO HEAR THE JUDGMENT
Today, July 5th, we'll see if…
We'll find out the judgment.
Let's see what comes out of it.
Lotería's lawyer said,
"If a judge sentences us to pay the prize, we'll gladly pay."
So, I have faith that if things go well, Lotería will have to pay up.
I truly believe I'm going to win.
-Afternoon, Javier. -Afternoon, Carlos. Pleasure.
Same, how are you?
Good. Here to find out about the…
the lawsuit, how we did.
Well, two rulings were handed down today…
Okay.
…in this long, drawn-out case.
The judge, who handed down the verdict has stated that, for now,
it's not possible to confirm that your ticket is the winning one.
-Okay. -Nor the other person's.
Okay.
There's not enough to confirm that your ticket is the winning ticket.
What we advise now, or the process moving forward…
But what about my image?
Nothing left to do but to keep on working, that's it.
In every corner of our Biobío,
are humble people who dream of every number on their ticket
magically matching the winning combination.
People who maybe don't dream of yacht trips,
luxury sports cars, or lavish mansions.
They dream, in fact, of much simpler and more tangible things.
Paying off their debts.
Sending their children to a good school or to university.
Covering medical expenses.
In short, being able to sleep peacefully.
One in four and a half million.
That was the statistic, the cold figure.
But they never mentioned the other possibility,
the more real one, the chance that even after winning,
everything would stay exactly the same.
But Javier understood that the true fortune isn't the lottery,
the trial, or the ruling.
It's returning to a place where he never had to prove anything.
Our timing is not God's timing, because He is the one who holds time.
We have to wait.
If we've waited almost six years or more,
what's a few more years?
What are you doing Lying in the grass?
Gaze transfixed Up to the sky
I think it should be much more important
for the truth to come out than to win the prize.
This has been a blessing that God has given us.
But it was all according to His way.
Even though everything went wrong
I'm going to cry from happiness
Whether they pay me or not, I'm not going to change.
I'll keep being the same person.
It would just be facing life as it is.
Just like I've always done.
The smell of the early morning…
ON JULY 20, 2024,
JAVIER ZAPATA DECIDED TO APPEAL AND CONTINUE HIS FIGHT,
WHICH COULD LAST FOR YEARS
DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS,
CONCEPCIÓN LOTERÍA CHOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DOCUMENTARY
TODAY, JAVIER AND BLANCA HAVE REOPENED THEIR DAIRY FARM
Do you still play Kino?
Yes, I actually played one on Friday, the same ticket.
I still have it, haven't even checked it.
I have it… I don't know if I left it in the car,
or if it's inside, tucked away in the fridge.
I don't even remember where I put it.
MILLIONAIRE
THE DIE IS CAST
THIS IS A TRUE STORY TOLD BY AND STARRING THOSE WHO LIVED IT
TO THEM, OUR DEEPEST APPRECIATION
