Residents in a small town in Spain (see map of where) will share a $950 million jackpot, except for one man who apparently forgot to buy a ticket (how much will each person get?).  The lottery is called "El Gordo" and has been a Spanish staple since 1812 (when is it played?).  Several towns from all over the country collectively play the same number.
