The Obama Lottery

If you thought Obama was big in Denver, you should see him in Villavicencio, Colombia. The candidate’s face was plastered all over town last week, thanks to a savvy lottery agency which decided to print special Obama edition lottery tickets. According to the lottery manager, Magdalena González, the Obama tickets were a way to "honor" black citizens. Sure, she could've chosen the face of a Colombian of African descent or a member of an indigenous group, but Obama’s mug has caused sales to soar.
