Paris Man Wins Picasso in Raffle

The raffle, held at Christie's auction house in Paris, was organized to raise funds for Alzheimer's research and clean water projects.

Hodara, an art enthusiast who initially thought the win was a hoax, was selected from 120,000 ticket holders worldwide.

The 1921 oil-on-canvas piece is considered a significant example of Picasso's work from his neoclassical period.

The winner plans to keep the painting, though he admitted he never expected his modest contribution to result in such a life-changing prize.
