A raffle in France offers the chance to win Pablo Picasso's 1941 painting "Tête de Femme" for a €100 ticket. The raffle, capped at 120,000 tickets, aims to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Research Foundation, with €1 million earmarked for the painting's owner, the Opera Gallery. The painting will be on display at Christie's in Paris before the raffle draw on Tuesday at 6pm local time. This is the third "1 Picasso for €100" raffle, with previous events raising over €10 million for causes in Lebanon and Africa. Organizers believe Picasso would have approved of making his art accessible through such raffles.
