The people of Ibiza and Formentera love to gamble.
They spent over €30 million last year on games of chance, the vast majority of them the various lotteries and the football pools.
This means that every man, woman and child on the islands spends an average of €280 in search of an unlikely fortune, though we did have a big winner last year, a San Antonio man whose first action was to leave the island with his €3 million stash.
