What happened a few days ago among the viewers of Antena 3 was something historic. Rafa Castaño won nothing more and nothing less than 2,272,000 euros, the biggest jackpot in the history of Password. A fact that left many people speechless and Rafa himself speechless.
At his side was Oreste Barbero, the oldest competitor in the history of this competition., who became a TV character after 360 appearances on the show. That of Burgos was unlucky, but its historic passage through Password He penetrated very deeply the spectators, especially those of his land.
This was demonstrated a few days after the broadcast of the last duel between Rafa and Orestes on Antena 3. And it is that Barbero has already been “signed” after his time as a candidate for one of the most watched programs on television in Spain. His city’s football team, Burgos Football Club, paid tribute to the wisdom of our protagonist by giving him a shirt with his name and the number 10 and allowing him to start his last match.
“A great honor in my country”, says Orestes on his Twitter account, sharing the images of one of the most exciting moments of his life. “You deserve it, my boy”, launches one of his followers. “You are huge”, “Congratulations, Orestes” and “What a crack you did” are some of the compliments he received among the responses.
A long-awaited moment
On March 16, Rafa won the biggest jackpot in the history of Password, and he did it all at once. But apparently he wasn’t the only one who knew all the answers to his donut. Orestes himself revealed to La 8 Burgos that he knew each of his partner’s answers. Of course, I might not have hit them in the first round. “I can’t shoot the triple,” he says. Moreover, he confessed that he would like to compete again in “four or five years”. “I don’t know what my life will be like then, but I would love to have the opportunity, even if it was for a stage or something like that,” he adds.
Orestes now has a new stage in his life in view. He has already assured that he would like to be a professor of philosophy, so maybe now he can achieve his goal.
