Quote:
Back in December, the tiny Spanish village of Sodeto collectively won a major stake in the annual $950 million Spanish national lottery. Today, the New York Times reports, the village of farmers and construction workers is enjoying a minimum payout of $130,000 per resident.
And yet for all of the new wealth making its way around Sodeto, one villager came away empty-handed. Costis Mitsotakis, a Greek filmmaker who moved to the village for a woman, is the only resident of Sodeto who did not purchase a ticket. Mitsotakis says he is no longer with the woman and now lives in a barn he is restoring just outside the village.
So he doesn't get any coin, and he lost the girl. That's luck for ya!
