Jose Luis Inciarte

Second time lucky . . . Jose Luis Inciarte celebrates winning Uruguay's US$2.5 million (HK$19.35 million) New Year lottery with his wife Soledad and daughters Eugenia, holding their dog Tomas, and Soledad at their home in Montevideo. Mr Inciarte has twice beaten the odds. Twenty-one years ago, he was one of 16 rugby players and fans who survived a plane crash and 70 days of freezing weather in the high Andes. The survivors stayed alive by eating the flesh of those who had died and the ordeal made worldheadlines.
