**Man Wins €1 Million Picasso with €100 Charity Raffle Ticket**
A man has won an original Pablo Picasso painting valued at €1 million ($1.1 million) after buying a €100 charity raffle ticket.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was stunned when officials from Christie's auction house in Paris informed him via video call. His first reaction was to ask, "How do I know this isn't a prank?"
The artwork, titled "Man with the Guitar," was offered as the grand prize in an online raffle. The draw was organized by a charity that supports refugee aid programs in Ukraine and Africa.
For the price of a modest dinner, the winner now owns a major work by one of the 20th century's most famous artists. The raffle raised approximately €5.5 million for charity through ticket sales.
Christie's has confirmed the painting's authenticity and value. The winner is now deciding whether to keep the Picasso masterpiece or sell it.
