Ficarra is a small town in Sicily, a small broke town in Sicily, and Mayor Ridolfo is hoping to recitify that in the most fiscally conservative way extant. Through the purchase of lottery tickets. He appropriated 115 euros from the salaries of town councillors to buy tickets in the plus one hundred million euro SuperEnalotto draw last Tuesday.
"We chose numbers which were connected with the town's patron saint, the Virgin Mary of the Assumption, whose name day is today (Monday). It is our hope that, with her blessing, we will hit the jackpot,'' Ridolfo explained.
''Right now we think we have a better chance of winning SuperEnalotto than getting funds owed to us from the state,'' he added.

Nice shot Mayor, nice shot.
No word on who won the Italian state lottery but I am pretty certain it was not Ficarra.
