Well, this is about the only thing that could make me buy a lottery ticket after my year of playing the lottery and my decision to never play again. Every week, ONCE, the Spanish lottery company run by and for people with physical disabilities, has a different design on their ticket, often featuring a town or landmark in Spain. Today’s ticket features my town, Colindres, and its puente giratorio, which was built in 1901 by some guy named Eiffel had already built a tower somewhere, I think.
Unless I win more than 30€ with this thing, I’m keeping it as a souvenir.
