El premio mayor is a Mexican telenovela created and produced by Emilio Larrosa for Televisa and originally broadcast on Canal de las Estrellas from September 4, 1995, to May 24, 1996. Written by Verónica Suárez and Alejandro Pohlenz, the telenovela stars Laura León, Carlos Bonavides, Sergio Goyri, and Sasha Sokol. It was followed by the sequel Salud, dinero y amor in 1997. The story follows Huicho Domínguez, an uneducated construction worker who unexpectedly wins the grand prize in the National Lottery. His sudden fortune transforms his family's life as they move into a luxurious mansion and struggle to adapt to their new social status. As wealth attracts greed, infidelity, and opportunistic people, Huicho risks losing the love and stability that once defined his family.
