Fresh Fruits and Fortune

A street scene in Palafrugell, Spain, showing a man in shorts and a white t-shirt purchasing lottery tickets from a blue ONCE lottery kiosk adorned with posters and scratch cards, next to an open-air market stall selling fresh produce under white umbrellas. The kiosk features the text "BEN JUGAT" and is topped with a white canopy, while the background includes a blue mural and market shoppers.

I went out one morning to photograph Palafrugell, walking around the town, exploring the streets. It’s a small town with narrow roads and tall buildings, with a few public squares dotted around. Near one is a vegetable market where I spotted a man buying a lottery card.

The ONCE lottery, seen in the photo, is unique in Spain for being operated by the Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles, an organisation founded in 1938 to support the blind and visually impaired. Many of the lottery vendors, like the one pictured, are themselves visually impaired, making each ticket sale a contribution to social inclusion and support for people with disabilities.
