Cemetery burial plot is lottery grand prize
In the Italian town of Marano, close to Napels, a very interesting lottery is being organized. First prize is a burial spot on the local cemetery.
The town’s cemetery is completely full at the moment. That is why an emergency cemetery is being built in Marano. Though that new graveyard will only have enough spaces for 48 people.
The city administration is concerned that people might be starting to bribe city officials, as to obtain an exclusive resting place.
This made them decide to start the rather odd lottery, of which the winner at least gets buried properly.
Though this is still a temporary solution. Work has begun on a much larger cemetery. The new graveyard will have space for over 1.000 burial spots.
Winner takes all
