An Italian woman has been identified as the lucky winner of an oil painting by Pablo Picasso that was offered up in a charity raffle Wednesday.
Her winning ticket was picked out in an electronic draw at the auction house Christie's in Paris."Claudia has won this extraordinary painting tonight that is worth one million and so is a millionaire," organizer Peri Cochin announced after the winner's name and winning ticket number were displayed on a screen.
Organizers said the winner ticket was initially bought by someone else in Italy in December and then seemingly given as a gift to the eventual winner.
