French Raffle Offers $1M Picasso to Support Alzheimer's Research
A raffle in France is offering participants the chance to win a Pablo Picasso painting valued at $1 million for the price of a 100-euro ticket, approximately $117. The event, organized by the Alzheimer Research Foundation, aims to raise funds for Alzheimer's research. The painting, 'Head of a Woman,' was created by Picasso in 1941. The raffle is set to take place at Christie's auction house in Paris. This is the third iteration of the '1 Picasso for 100 euros' lottery. Previous raffles have successfully raised over 10 million euros for various causes, including cultural work in Lebanon and water and hygiene programs in Africa. The current raffle has capped ticket sales at 120,000, potentially generating 12 million euros if all tickets are sold.
