ROME—The winner of a free funeral has not turned up to claim his prize after ticket number 11 was chosen in a raffle in southern Italy, an Italian newspaper reported Tuesday.
The holder of the winning ticket in the raffle -- held in the town of San Marco in Lamis -- is entitled to a free lined coffin, a tombstone, copper candlesticks and a grave site, Il Corriere del Mezzogiorno reported.
There is no deadline for claiming the prize and the winner can give it to somebody else, raffle organizers said, according to the paper.

Wtf! Are you serious? This was posted yesterday in Inquirer.net, binasa ko talaga paulit-ulit. I mean seriously, mahirap na ba magpa-libing sa Rome? Siguro kung dito sa Pinas to kung san mas mahal mamatay kesa mabuhay, tyak pag-aagawan to.
On second thought, pano kung ikaw nanalo? Pano mo sasabihin sa nanay mo?
"Nay!!!! Pwde na kong mamatay!!!"
O kaya dahil pwde mo daw to ibigay,
"Tol, sabihin mo lang kung gusto mo mamatay ha, may gift ako sayo."
Cheers!
