In Spain politician Carlos Fabra won more than 2 million euros in several lotteries, now is in jail and being investigated for corruption. It's famous in Spain for that and for having built an airport that it's empty with almost no flights at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell%C3%B3n%E2%80%93Costa_A...
