Paris man wins €1m Picasso with €100 ticket
A Parisian art enthusiast won a Picasso painting worth over €1m, with proceeds from the raffle going towards Alzheimer’s research. Ari Hodara, 58, bought his €100 ticket by chance and secured the "Head of a Woman" portrait during the draw at Christie’s in Paris. The "1 Picasso for €100" lottery sold all 120,000 tickets, collecting €12m for the charity.
