Today is Saturday and it is time to have a summary of the most important and entertaining NEWS of the whole week in the world.
#1 An Italian woman won an oil by Pablo Picasso valued at one million euros ($ 1.1 million dolars) in a charity draw.
58-year-old accountant Claudia Borgogno, "I have never won anything before," she confessed to The Associated Press from her home in Ventimiglia in northern Italy. He likes Picasso, but he could never imagine that a painting of his could end up hanging on his wall.
Her son Lorenzo Naso bought two tickets in December and sent one to his mother. "It was perhaps the best decision of my life," he told the AP. Her ticket was chosen in the electronic draw of the auction house Christie's in Paris.
The organizers valued the painting, Nature Morte, or Still Life, at one million euros. However, the billionaire art collector who provided it, David Nahmad, assumes that the work is worth "at least two, three times" that.

#2 Tulsa, Oklahoma (USA) residents turned a giant sculpture of the Golden Piercer into a statue of Tesla founder Elon Musk.
The statue, which is the fifth tallest in the continental United States, was built in the 1960s as a tribute to the state's oil industry. His makeover included replacing the Tulsa belt buckle with one that says Tesla, the appearance of the automaker's logo on his chest, and paint on his face to resemble Musk's.
Tesla is looking for a location for its second U.S. auto plant where the Model Y utility vehicle and the next Cybertruck truck are planned to be built. It is reported that it has narrowed its options to Tulsa and Austin, Texas.
"I think it is about convincing people that Tulsa is the best place for Tesla, and I really believe it," said city mayor George Theron Bynum.
