Lottery jackpot key to town’s fiscal bailout plan

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

We all hope and dream that one day we will win the jackpot and eradicate all those financial worries. However, a Sicilian mayor is taking this idea to a whole new extreme. In order to resolve the town’s cash flow problems, the mayor of Ficarra is betting local officials’ salaries on the upcoming SuperEnalotto, which has an estimated jackpot of 116 million euro, claiming the chances of winning are higher than receiving funds pledged by the state!

Well, the Gluto.com team is keeping its fingers crossed for Mayor Basilio Ridolfo – not only for the upcoming draw, but also in the hope that state funds become more available than lottery jackpots!

Buona fortuna Sindaco Ridolfo!
