Several seized properties are in the lottery this year, and this is the first time property has been given away through a drawing.
Mexico is placing a home previously owned by former drug kingpin Joaquín"El Chapo" Guzmán in a national lottery after the house failed to sell at auction last year, the Associated Press reported.
"This raffle is very important, and I call on all the people, those who can help buying a ticket, or two or three," López Obrador said last week at a news conference. Proceeds from the lottery go to Mexico's Olympic athletes.Several seized properties are going to be available in Mexico's national lottery, including a home owned by former drug kingpin Joaquín"El Chapo" Guzmán.
López Obrador has been talking up the lottery of seized properties but gave no mention to the history of this particular house. An expansive home in one of Mexico City's swankiest neighborhoods and a private box at the famed Azteca Stadium have garnered more attention. Guzmán escaped that time through the tunnels, but his freedom lasted only days. On February 22, 2014, the marines descended again, this time in a condo on the coast in Mazatlán.
The marines captured him again six months later in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, where he had been holed up in another unremarkable home. The house was well located for its previous purposes. There is a neighbor only on one side. On the other is a subterranean storm sewer—Culiacán built hundreds of kilometers of them to deal with torrential rains—which is where the bathroom tunnel connected to make Guzmán's escape possible. A school is across the street.

(AP) — A Missouri cave containing Native American artwork from more than 1,000 years ago was sold at auction Tuesday, disappointing leaders of the Osage Nation who hoped to buy the land to “protect and preserve our most sacred site.” Bryan Laughlin, director of Selkirk Auctioneers & Appraisers, the St. Louis-based firm handling the auction, said the winning bidder declined to be named. It also has more than 290 prehistoric glyphs, “making it the largest collection of indigenous people’s polychrome paintings in Missouri,' according to the auction website.
