in madrid's real opera house this morning. the total prize money up for grabs is over 2 billion euros, about $2.5 billion. a single ticket costs about $25, and it seems everybody is part o of a syndicate that lowers the odds. in recent years, spain's unemployment has turned the lottery into a ray of financial hope, usually false hope. this year the eco;nomy is seemingly on the end, but nothing says recovery like winning the lottery. and the recent election produced no clear winner here. the lottery does at least provide an outcome. as this woman says, whoever wins the eleionct won't lift me out of poverty, but this might. and here are some fun facts.

company "buck mason" in 2013, ey bthely had enough money to pull it off. >> we had really no experience raising capital from outside investors, so the thing we knew how to do is be scrappy. >> reporter: they both poured in all their savings and quit their day jobs to focus on the company. this left them more time to plan but less cash to get by. >> i just slept on the couch. >> reporter: schnakenberg listed his l.a. apartment on air b'n'b and in less than four months made the $15,000 they needed to kickstart their business. >> when you start a business your most important asset is time. this basically also frd up the time it would take to earn the income and you can't put a price tag on that. >> reporter: there are 17 billion-dollar companies in the shared economy, where resources are sold person to person.

didn't go as planned.qj california's governor jerry brown has presented the actor robert downey, jr. with a christmas gift-- a pardon. downey spent more than a year in prison on drug charges starting in 1999. the pardon doesn't erase downey's conviction, but does restore his right to vote. after centuries of being performed, the last thing you might expect from a nativity scene is an ad-lib. but watch this goat in dallas jump right into the manger. the show, of course, went on after the actors regained their composure.
