Murcian Organizer Reveals 2024 Death of 'Lottery Bald Man' Clive Arrindell

A Murcian lottery organizer found UK memorial notices, bringing the 2024 death to Spanish attention.

Overview

  • UK Theatre’s 2024 In Memoriam and a November 2024 service at Old Augustinians College list Clive Arrindell among the deceased.
  • Miguel Ángel Zapata uncovered the notices while preparing his Ruta de la Suerte project and then shared an In memoriam post on Instagram.
  • Spanish outlets are reporting the news now after it went largely unmentioned domestically for more than a year.
  • Zapata says he plans a tribute in a London theatre where Arrindell performed as part of the next phase of his cultural project.
  • Arrindell became an enduring figure in Spain for starring in the Christmas Lottery adverts from 1998 to 2005, later appearing in The Crown and a 2019 Pescanova campaign.
