Televisions, radios and media in general do the rest this December 22on the occasion of Christmas Lottery draw. Among them, RNE, which has ‘rescued’ Pedro Piqueras to accompany Pepa Fernández in the live broadcast of one of the most followed events of the year on the airwaves.
Between awards and awards, there has also been time for anecdotes. One of them is the one that has to do with Anthony Blakethe mentalist who El Gordo supposedly got it right in 2002.
It happened twenty-two years ago at an event held at the La Vaguada shopping center in Madrid, where Blake had predicted the number 08103 as the winner of El Gordothe result of which was sealed in a closed box with three keys guarded by him, the presenter Mar Saura and a security company.
On the day of the draw, live, the box was opened and, to the surprise of an entire country, the number matchedbecoming a moment that is still recorded in everyone’s collective memory and that catapulted the mentalist to fame.
But not without controversy, since raised many suspicions. So, while one considered it an unprecedented feat, others accused Blake, who always defended his honesty, of all kinds of tricks and even the collaboration of other people.
About that moment, Piqueras gave his opinion this Sunday, revealing with a sense of humor what happened that day. “There was a small man under the table who took out a piece of paper with the number. He appeared dazed,” the communicator said, laughing.
