It’s A Plot

Grave Doubts, But People Are Dying To Get In

Officials in an Italian town are selling lottery tickets - for places in the local cemetery. Marano, near Naples, has run out of room at the town's cemetery and had to create a new "emergency" graveyard containing 48 plots. Authorities feared people would try to bribe officials to get plots and decided to stage the lottery instead.

FOOTNOTE: Stiff luck.
