According to Agence France-Presse, the face of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has appeared on 700,000 lottery tickets in Mesa, Colombia.
“We picked Obama’s portrait for our lottery because we’re always looking for somebody people are raving about,” Luis Enciso, a lottery official, told AFP. “He’s ahead in (United States) opinion polls, and right now, he’s the most popular guy around here. We’d never think of using John McCain.”
