Major Lottery Win at Solarolo’s Amici Bar in Manerba Garda

The draw at the «Amici» Bar in Solarolo di Manerba

The draw of the Inter against the Torino and the other string of “X” results, with only one “2,” reduced the number of winners with 13 points in Sunday’s Totocalcio to just 10, awarding exactly 517 million and 772 thousand lire.

One of the “thirteen” winners, along with four twelve-point winners, was achieved in our province. Specifically, at the «Amici» bar, located at via S. Maria 1 in Solarolo di Manerba del Garda. The winner remains unknown.

Over Garda and in the immediate hinterland, the hunt for the super-millionaire who achieved a thirteen and four twelve-point results has already begun, with a total prize of 570 million and 604 thousand lire.

The thirteen pays 517 million and 772 thousand lire; a single twelve pays 13 million and 208 thousand lire. The bet was placed at the «Amici» bar, situated in Solarolo di Manerba del Garda, just a short distance from Piazza Garibaldi, opposite the town hall.

The owner since April of last year is Fernanda Bianchini, of Sardinian origin, who moved to Brescia about a decade ago. After working as an employed bartender, she eventually started her own business.

Yesterday, Monday, the venue was closed for its weekly shift, and the owner was informed of the big win at her home by the Totocalcio management of Verona, which also covers the Brescia province.

Curious, she still went for a short walk to the bar to put up a sign announcing the win, not expecting the holder of the ticket to come forward.

“I am very happy with this millionaire win — probably the biggest ever for the «Amici» bar, which has been open for 25 years and is the only one in the area with a betting shop. It’s impossible to know who the lucky person is because people also come here to play from nearby towns.

Furthermore, with the early arrival of spring and the mild sun, many tourists already have a second home in Manerba del Garda and come here on weekends. And some were here on Saturday to play the lottery. Who knows.”

At this time, the Municipality of Manerba del Garda’s focus shifts to Solarolo, while in summer it extends to Garda. So, this big win was a double surprise, and passersby and customers of local establishments look at each other carefully, hoping to spot a smile or a simple admission that reveals the super-millionaire.

This person has now temporarily resolved their financial problems. Let’s hope not only those.
