Last month, Lopez Obrador floated the idea of raffling off the plane itself. On Friday, however, Lopez Obrador made clear that the 100 holders of winning tickets would get $1 million in cash. “We’re doing this so that we don’t auction it off cheaply, so that we aren’t in a rush,” Lopez Obrador said. The winning tickets – selected from 6 million sold – will be announced on Sept. 15, the day before Mexican Independence Day. Lopez Obrador has made a point of crisscrossing Mexico aboard commercial flights, often taking fellow passengers by surprise.
