A Whole Town Wins... Almost
In
the small town of Sodeto, Spain, everyone's celebrating, except for one man.
The whole town has only 70 households, and 69 of them (so chill) chipped in to
buy a lottery ticket for Spain’s Christmas lottery, El Gordo. The little village
made up mostly of farmers and unemployed carpenters won $950 million. Costis
Mitsotakis was the only person who didn’t chip in and isn’t getting any of the
winnings. The smallest amount of money a household received from the lottery
was $130,000 (excluding Mitsotakis, of course). However, one of the winning
townspeople has offered to buy a piece of Mitsotakis’s land that he has been
unable to sell, so all’s well that ends well.
